Короткие пьесы полностью

MIKE: Look, I came to say I’m sorry. Anna, I came to say that tomorrow I go to Julie. We’ve decided to live together. The child needs…

ANNA (sadly): Really so sorry? Some things you don’t understand and never will. Like other peoples feelings… just as you never understood me.

MIKE: And how else should I say: “I’m sorry”?

ANNA: I don’t know… It is not a humane way, when a person is suddenly just abandoned…

MIKE: Anna, you are not abandoned. We’re such close friends.

ANNA (crying): Were!… We were close friends!

MIKE: And now?

ANNA: Now? I don’t know….

MIKE: No matter what, I want to stay your friend.

ANNA: Why?

MIKE: Anna I need you. I’m telling you about the baby before I’ve told anybody…you are the one closest to me…talking with you always quieted me…

ANNA (starts to cry): Don’t talk foolishness anymore! Go! Go! Stop upsetting me!

(Pause)

MIKE: I won’t go. I want to be with you. It’s my last night…our last chance… we must forgive in a humane way.

ANNA: I can’t stand the sight of you! (Pause) You want a humane way!

(Anna crying grabs the dress and beats MiKE with it. Mike manages to grab Anna’s arms. Then with his arms around her he presses against her and hugs her)

MIKE: Dear, dearest, cherished…calm…calm. Forgive me…maybe I’m lost… help me, I don’t understand, what I need. I don’t know who I need, what is happening to me? I just know that today we are together… like I want never to forget…calm down… nothing to say… press to me…tightly… there now… good girl… so wise… O God how long I’ve wanted you… you surely too? Say something… you…OK? You don’t want to talk… nod your head… and now kiss me…

(The dress slips off Anna’s arms. She hugs Michael, and presses him to her… kisses him.)

MIKE: Anna, I love you…

THE END

MIKE: About 65 years old, good height, stature, natty, grey flecks in dark hair, sporty looking and handsome, in pressed slacks. He is an actor and likes from time to time to play different roles during dialog…

JULIE: Also 65. She’s pretty, neatly dressed in business like way.

It’s summer’s heat. Mike is sweating and mopping his brow with a handkerchief. Mike carries a big bouquet of flowers as he knocks on an apartment door.

JULIE (shocked upon finding an x boyfriend standing there): Ah!…M.

MIKE: G’afternoon, Julie!

JULIE (still shocked): H… Hello… Mike!

(Pause)

What’s…going on?

MIKE (presents flowers with smile): Flowers for m’lady!… Can I come in?

JULIE (steps hesitatingly aside): I don’t remember such a big bouquet….ever….thank you!… Why did you come?… You want something!

MIKE: Yes… (Wipes brow) It’s hot out could you please get me a glass of water?

JULIE (disappearing into her kitchen): That I can do… for you…

(Meanwhile Mike walks around inspecting everything in the room particularly the pictures on the table.)

JULIE (returning): Your favorite glass…

MIKE (drinking the whole glass): Whew… Thanks…. Ok to sit?

(He moves to sofa and sits down)

JULIE (angry): I think, you still want the sofa!

MIKE: No, I don’t want the sofa any more.

JULIE:……..the Ocean painting your mother gave me?

MIKE: No…

(Mike looks around the room)

Every thing is as it was. Nothing has changed. Just like when I left.

JULIE: I can’t make myself change things yet…

(Pause)

MIKE: Julie, you haven’t forgotten our good times! Come to sit beside me here, on the sofa.

(Julie sits on the sofa, but not close to Mike)

JULIE:… Try to understand how insulted I feel… More than ten years together, and suddenly… All time I think, why you did up and leave… Now I guessed why…

MIKE: Oh? Why?

JULIE: As long as I had a good job and could support you, every thing was fine. Then when I retired we had to economize, and then you found a new sucker…

Mike: Sucker!… Oh.Julie….you are so…

(Mike stops short and decides not to reply)

JULIE: Remember? Remember how I loved you. How I cared for you when you were sick and depressed… after the “Evita” tour ended… Some times I had to force food in you with a spoon… Gave you black coffee in bed…

MIKE: The coffee was too weak…”economization!”
