Script: 24 pages.
Ellie is at a party and wanders off to find the bathroom. The room she walks into, however, is not what she expected at all and she soon realizes that she can’t get out. Worse, she is quickly surrounded by three mysterious figures who seem to hold her life in the balance. One condemns her, one defends her, and the third seems to be a judge of some kind.

This compelling and powerful piece offers four varied and meaty roles in a play sure to strike a chord with all audiences.
