Dystopiapiapia – 34 pages. In this satiric take on our cultural obsession with dystopian female heroes, we follow the tale of Miley Cyrus, an oppressed Jupiterian miner fighting to reclaim her puppy. On her journey, she’ll train to infiltrate the upper echelon of society and yada yada yada. What follows is wholly predictable, contrived, and more fun than you can shake a pick-axe at!
Note: I enjoy utilizing characters in multiple plays, though never expect an audience to be familiar with their history outside an individual play. For example:
—The Quinton Qronicles: follows the life of Quinton as a secondary character. In La Salle d’Or he’s in high school, in A Public Affair he’s an adult, and in How to Kill a Bloodthirsty Hermit, he’s an old man.
—Felix Hasselbury appears chronologically in Felix Hasselbury Gets a Job, then Mr. Nice Guy.
—Ponopoly Volva appears in Mr. Nice Guy, then in both Kiosked! and Le Salty Dream.
—Mickey Magnus appears chronologically in Le Salty Dream, Felix Hasselbury Gets a Job (referenced), The Mickey (being written), and A Public Affair.
