GARBAGE
Garbage is a grungy two hander set just before dawn on the back of a council waste disposal truck. Two anonymous garbo’s trade stereotypically empty assertions of chauvinist masculinity and racist nationalism. Their casually constructed identities are overturned however, when they discover the body of a young girl, overdosed and crumpled up in one of the garbage bins, and their true natures come out.
Short, hard and fast, Garbage would suit independent, student or community theatre production. One act, roughly half an hour. Two roles, one late teens/mid twenties, one mid fifties/early sixties. Both male, though cross gender casting could prove fruitful.
