The Little Revolution By: Tamara Peachy Cast List Rachel Linheart Daniel White Peter Lock Alex Dalve ACT 1 SCENE 1 Low-end studio apartment in Washington DC. Room is cluttered with Pro-Life protest signs, and Pro-Life flyers are stacked on the desk and coffee table. RACHEL is sitting at the desk, typing on a laptop computer. DANIEL is using a stencil to create another Pro-Life sign that will read: If It’s Not A Baby, Then You’re Not Pregnant . Rachel : ( Stops typing ) It’s useless. I’m useless. DANIEL : You’re not useless. Rachel : I’ll just summarize my thoughts in a flowery tweet. Who needs a lengthy article? DANIEL : ( Annoyed ) Not the twitter argument again. Rachel : Who wants to read a brainy article about injustice when one can read a Facebook status about farts? DANIEL : You are delusional.

Sing Zion Sing. I wish for her lips to sing the praise I was unable to sing. The words robbed from a prostitute. The wife of the lamb. She tosses her head like a lion, but turns away from the mane, her protector. I ask her to sing as I am mute and paralyzed. A child in torment, a product of divorce. God loves his child who is neglected by a mother. Mommy, I cry. Mommy, I am falling from your arms.

Trouble on every side, in parallel universes and at the big bang. Step forward to the direction they gave. Hoping there isn’t a cliff or a lion because I am only a child in a kingdom for the poor, weak, and lowly. My capacity to fly or fight is based on this spirit made of chemicals unseen.

Wrath of God, I fear it. For I hear of fire, rage, and destruction. I hear of death and blood seeping into the ground. But, I know nothing of justice. For wrath’s fire rests on a heavenly candle, touching muddy earth.
