Execution at Paradais Island: a Play in One Act Jeffrey Gold

Two blokes are scheduled for execution at Paradais Island, the notorious military prison, and have the occasion to reminisce about the past and face their short future together. Dramatica Press plays are designed to enhance readability of the stageplay format by creating a new ergonomic layout and using color to easily differentiate between character names, dialogue, parentheticals, and stage directions. Finalist - Moondance International Film Festival Stageplay Competition Characters CARROTS - Male. Late thirties to early fifties. Carrots is markedly a fish-out-of-water in this environment. Whatever he did---probably some kind of financial crime---landed him here unexpectedly. TENBENNY - Streetwise male. Late thirties to early fifties. Tenbenny always knew what the risks were-and that he could end up in a merciless place like this. Smart enough to be dangerous but dumb enough to get caught. GUARD - Wears military beige khakis. Guard wears a beret or other military hat appropriate for low-ranking military personnel. OFFICER - Wears military beige khakis.* Officer wears visor cap or other military hat to distinguish him/her from the Guard. Officer also wears MacArthur shades and carries a horse whip. * Guard and Officer can be played by the same actor.
