The Divided Kingdom

A One Act split down the middle
One Act -- No Set
Running time: 40 minutes

Putting the universe back together is slightly more difficult than putting a marriage back together, but only slightly.

Plot Summary

Griff's universe has split in two: facts and friends on one side change on the other. The rift runs right across his bedroom door, which makes things all the more confusing when his wife decides to leave him...on the bedroom side of the rift. Griff's attempts to pull his life and love back together lead him down a very dark path.

The Divided Kingdom is performed on a bare stage. Production only requirtes the actors, a boom-box, a few props, and a long strip of tape.
