FROZEN BY JEFFREY LO (DOWNLOAD PDF HERE)
DRIVER and PASSENGER sit in a car.
It’s probably a smart car.
They’re in traffic.
Fully stopped traffic.
Gridlock traffic.
Bumper to bumper traffic.
You get the picture.
They sit still.
Silence.
PASSENGER eventually notices how still they are being and looks at DRIVER.
Pause.
DRIVER is still still.
Too still.
Beat.
PASSENGER waives their hand in front of DRIVER’S face.
Nothing.
PASSENGER snaps their fingers in front of DRIVER’S face.
Nothing.
PASSENGER screams.
Nothing.
Pause.
Silence.
PASSNEGER sneezes.
In the moment PASSENGER sneezes, traffic has moved forward and DRIVER moves the car forward.
END OF PLAY.
