Sample of script:

Sound of car pulling up, brakes squeal, car door slams. Rhonda walks up to service station attendant, Roy.

Rhonda: Good afternoon.

Roy: Maam.

Rhonda: I was wondering if you could give me some directions. I’m trying to find the way.

Roy: Maybe could. Maybe couldn’t. Depends.

Rhonda: Depends? On what?

Roy: Depends on where to, how and when. You new to these parts, are ya?

Rhonda: These parts, er, yes, yes I’m not from here. I’m just in from the city.

Roy: I ‘spected as much. Yup.

Description

There’s a visitor from out of town, arrives in Fineville, looking for directions to Triumph.

But unfortunately its not all that simple. After all to get to Triumph  you may have to go through scary places like Humiliation and others, which is no fun, but it often happens, so be prepared, ask the right people for directions.  This drama is all about knowing the way you may be required, to go . . when you don’t know where the journey might lead. Perhaps a good place to start is by asking, then considering and refining, then and only then you might be assured to find The Way, right through to Triumph.
