The Seven Deadly Sins
Emily Weidner
Characters • YOUNG WOMAN – A mysterious YOUNG WOMAN holding a light. • PRIDE – An elaborately dressed young man, exuding an air o superiority. Speaks with a posh accent. Always cleaning his awards. • GREED – An older man who is always looking for opportunities to have more. Perpetually counting money. • LUST – A young, seductive, and provocatively-dressed woman, determined to draw attention with every move. • ANGER – A hot-headed and miserable young man, eager to explode at every chance. Always speaks angrily. • ENVY – A deeply jealous old woman, attempting to mimic those around her, wanting what everyone else has. • GLUTTONY – A plump, middle-aged man, perpetually eating, never satisfied. • SLOTH – A lazy and disinterested YOUNG WOMAN. Talks slow. Scene A couch sits on stage right. Beside it is a table with three chairs. On stage left there are two armchairs with a small table in between and a trophy case behind them. Some shelves, cabinets, and portraits line the walls. To begin, the stage is completely dark. In the distance, we can hear the sound of faint and hesitant footsteps. [ YOUNG WOMAN emerges from backstage center, unseen by audience. All that is seen is the small, flickering light she carries. The light grows stronger as she walks to center stage, where she pauses. Then, a spotlight shines down on her.]
