Jack And Jill Plays - Part 6 - You and Me

About Jack and Jill Plays:

I'm going to do something new.  Post a short play every day as long as I can.  This does not mean that I wrote this play today but I might have.  (My life is not always my own what with work and a 4 year old running around so maybe I wrote it today or maybe it was stockpiled in preparation for the days I can't get in writing.)  My goal is to do at least 100 of these or maybe more but probably 45 or 50 is the length of a full length play so even that would be good.  100 would be better.  300?  amazing.  500?  Does anyone want 500 of these plays?  Anyway, the goal is consecutive days.

The normal things about plays apply-- don't produce or reproduce this play without my permission.  I wrote it so I own it.  Etc.



You and Me
by Adam Szymkowicz

(JACK and JILL in bed.  JACK reads.)

JILL
And then I sang a song, Jack.

JACK
What?

JILL
So then I sang a song. The light fell on me and all the hairs on my body stood up and I opened my mouth and the most amazing song came out.

(JILL is standing now in a spotlight, electrified.)

JACK
Okay.

JILL
It went like this:

(JILL sings.)

JILL
ALL MY HATS ARE NEW HATS
ALL MY THOUGHTS ARE GOLD
WE WILL NEVER EVER WANDER
WE WILL NEVER GET OLD
WE WON'T THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE
DON'T DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD

I AM JILL!

I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR SOCIAL NORMS
DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT
ANTI SOCIAL POEMS
DON'T TELL ME WHERE TO GO
I'LL JUST STAY AT HOME

I AM JILL!

(JACK puts down whatever he's reading and stands and sings.)

JACK
THE COURSE OF OUR COARSE LOVE
WAS NEVER FINE TO ME
I CARVED OUR INITIALS
ON EVERY SINGLE TREE
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
TIL YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO SEE

JACK and JILL
YOU AND ME
LOVING FREE
IN A TREE
S.E.X.T.I.N.G

JACK                                                         JILL
I AM JACK!                                 I AM JILL!
