	_ _ 

	​ Two eleven-year-old boys. A stick. Two broken teeth. A playground
altercation brings together two sets of parents for a meeting to
resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as
the evening progresses, tensions emerge and the gloves come off. There
are tears, tantrums, name calling and violence, as the conventions of
polite society break down to reveal the brutality beneath the polished
middle-class exteriors of the Novaks and the Raleighs.

	​AVAILABLE ROLES: 

	MICHAEL NOVAK, 35-50; Father of the victim, he is grounded and
earthy, perhaps a bit Neanderthal, at first seems to be mild and
agreeable. Although later in the play he appears to be a warrior, he
is in fact terrified of his daughter’s hamster. He owns a wholesale
domestic hardware business….plumbing parts. 

	VERONICA NOVAK, 35-50; Mother of the victim, she is a humorless,
although caring earth-mother type who turns into a wild-woman. She is
controlling and judgmental with a false sense of civility. She is a
writer specializing in Africa and works part-time in an art history
bookshop. 

	ALAN RALEIGH, 35-50; A boorish lawyer for a drug company. A true
alpha male who is secretly proud of his bully son. He agrees that his
boy is a savage, but seems disinterested in the conversation about the
two boys. Much to the annoyance of the others, especially his own
wife, he is constantly on his cell phone discussing business. 

	ANNETTE RALEIGH, 35-50; A tightly wound wealth management
professional who strives to be appropriately contrite on behalf of her
son. She is sensitive but anxious and is prone to panic attacks.
Eventually the other three turn on her, agreeing that she is a phony
who does not actually care about the situation, but only about
appearances.

	​All ethnicities and nationalities are encouraged to audition. 

	Readings will be from the script.
