Drama – ‘Holding On’ – Mabel Lee

Stage Setting Specials Props Key: dbl bed, bedroom scene Dramatists: Bok, Saila 1st lines of the script: Wife: Good morning, darling. (Tries to make the bed.) It’s a beautiful morning out there. Joshua: (Grunts…rolls over and hides under pillow.) Wife: It’s time to wake up, sweetie. You promised to take the children swimming this morning. (Takes the pillow off him to fluff and put away.) Joshua: Arrrggghhhh I’m really tired. I didn’t sleep well through the night. Wife: Poor Josh. What is wrong dear? (Sits down on the bed beside husband.) You were tossing and turning all night long. This is so unlike you – you’re usually a man of steel. Nothing fazes you. Joshua: (Sits up now) There’s so much going on at work. I’m so tired, so very tired. I’m really struggling with the pressure. Wife: Tell me all about it, sweetie. Joshua: There’s the new branch opening in Petone next Tuesday. Wife: That’s wonderful news, dearie! (Still going around trying to make the bed.) Joshua: Then there’s a group of potential Japanese investors coming to visit on Thursday – they are worth millions of dollars for the company. Wife: (Fluffing the pillow and still trying to make the bed. She can’t work out why Josh is down about such fantastic thing.) And you’re down because… Joshua: (Sits up suddenly) You remember Simon? Wife: Yeah. Dad’s long time right hand man. Joshua: He’s been helping himself to company funds… Wife: (Taken aback so is now paying attention.) Are you absolutely sure? It’s a big thing to accuse somebody of.unless you have proof, you shouldn’t really say things like that. Joshua: I do have some proof but it’s not just him I’m having problems with. (Slight pause. A little unsure of himself now. ) Quite a few of the longer serving staff have been pretty slack lately. They don’t seem to like the changes I am making. Wife: (Rather indignant about this now.) Can’t they see that you’re a man of great vision and that you’re moving them on? Look at how well the company is doing now……. (Daughter calls for mum. “Mum, where are my goggles? Have you seen my goggles?”) Wife: (Calls out to daughter.) Coming, honey. (Leaves.) Joshua: (Sits up on the bed now and talks to his late dad.) It’s been really hard since you died Your shoes are far too big for me to fill, Dad. I have this vision of where I’d like the company to go and we are kinda getting there. But there are so many problems……….. sometimes, Dad, it is so hard to fly when you’re working with a bunch of turkeys. Dad, I don’t know how much longer I can hold on ………….. (puts his head in his hands). The End. (Lights out.)
