ABOUT FALLEN TO THE COMMUNISTS

COMEDY - 1M, 1F - 10 MINS

Fallen to the Communists

FALLEN TO THE COMMUNISTS is a comedy about a widower who talks to his dead wife, and is trying to cope with his 12 year old daughter growing up and having her first period. I'm pleased with the structure of it - three scenes with nice reversals, all in a ten minute play. The title comes from an English term, roughly equivalent to saying a girl has her Aunt Flo come to visit, or she's fallen off her monthly bicycle or the sharks are circling.
