Socks by Rosemary Frisino Toohey
3rd Place, the Ian Wishart Quaich in the 2023 Edinburgh round of the Scottish Community Drama Association's One-Act Festival. |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 4. Minimum total without doubling = 5. No chorus. Four principal characters plus an off-stage female voice (which could be pre-recorded). |
| Run Time | Around 20 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Short, one-act comedy play. Single set - the inside of a clothes dryer at a laundromat! ( A delightful contribution to an under-used sub-genre of costume drama!) |
| Synopsis | A group of single socks discuss their plight. Should they attempt escape? Why have they been abandoned? Don't humans know that socks are the cornerstone of civilization?
A tale of abandonment, rejection and hope in the confines of a clothes dryer.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of clean laundry must be in want of the correct number of socks. |
