Zuri's Choice by Jonathan Edgington
New |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 5. Minimum total with doubling = 8. Minimum total without doubling = 8. No chorus. Characters are young adults and (very) old adults, but it could fall within the compass of a youth theatre company with a good make-up artist! |
| Run Time | Around 66 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | An atmospheric thriller with aspects of fantasy and time travel. Multiple settings, but can be done with just furniture. On the boundary between one-act and full-length drama (so could stand alone or be paired with a shorter piece.) |
| Synopsis | Young Zuri thinks she's done a good thing by returning a long-lost christening bracelet her dog dug up in a wood to eighty-year-old, tea leaf-reading Lorelei, but has she? Who is George and how come he knows so much about Zuri when she's never even met him? And what does the mysterious rusty old key that George helped Zuri 'find' unlock? |
