Fireball
One Act Comedy - 1m 1w - Single Set
Can a redhead cause that much damage?
Synopsis
Gerry returns home from shopping to reveal a huge hole burned into his sweater. His explanation is that a fireball dropped out of the sky and hit him in the chest.
Jennine knows better.
There is an old story that those who experience lust “combust” from the inside - hence the hole in Gerry's sweater.
Gerry tells the truth: he was attracted to a redheaded checkout girl. Gerry is extremely apologetic and Jennine is extremely forgiving.
At the end of the play, however, we find out why Jennine is so forgiving.
