Synopsis
Fourteen Lines
Published by Samuel French Inc
6 Male 6 Female
Carly and her friends are all in danger of failing Senior English - and not graduating - if they don't do well on the final exam
And the exam is a killer
Ms Drew, their teacher, has decided that the final grade exam grade will be based on one task alone: the memorization and recitation of a Shakespearean sonnet
The pressures of the assignment cause a range of character reactions, from Phil's "I've got it knocked" nonchalance to Chris's virtually paralyzing anxiety
In the midst of it all, Carly desperately tries to keep everyone else on track without losing sight of her own goal
While liberally spiced with many comic moments, Fourteen Lines manages to smuggle in Shakespeare and challenge both actors and audience alike with the crucial question, "What does love require?"
Perfect for competition
From the author of the popular one act play Making Nice
