I’ve signed up for the 31 Plays in 31 Days project, committing myself to daily playwriting throughout the month of August. The project includes a five-day warmup of daily 256-character plays (needless to say that’s 256 letters, spaces, etc.). Here’s my warmup play for July 25:

• EVE: Mmm. Try the one with the navel, Adam.

• ADAM: No thanks.

• E: Just a lick.

• A: I said no, Evie.

• E: Sweet and juicy.

• A: No!

• E: What’s with you lately?

• A: I just don’t want more trouble. It’s bad enough.

E: But you’re comparing oranges to apples!
