      Park Life

      Lightly humorous with pathos. 2 females aged 20-40 years

      Melanie: 20-30 years old, call centre worker on a lunch break

      Christie: 30-40 years old, a businesswoman on a break

      The two women are strangers.

      A woman in her early thirties (Melanie) is seated on a park bench nursing a takeaway hot chocolate and enjoying the birds pecking at her feet. She is joined by a smart woman (Christie) in her forties looking down and preoccupied.

      MELANIE: This is my favourite place in the whole park. You can see everything from here.

      CHRISTIE: (minding her own business) Oh.

      MELANIE: I work just over there taking calls all day long. We get some very angry people so sometimes I come out here just to get some peace. What about you?

      CHRISTIE: (thawing a little) I work in that tall glassy building. It’s full of angry people too.

      MELANIE: Are you on your lunch break?

      CHRISTIE: I suppose so.

      MELANIE: What did you have?

      CHRISTIE looks wary

      CHRISTIE: A salad.

      MELANIE: That’s not lunch. I had a ham sandwich and a bag of crisps. And then I got this hot chocolate. I shouldn’t have because, well, I could do with losing a few pounds but I couldn’t resist. I didn’t have the cream though.

      CHRISTIE: Wise decision.

      (The women are lost in their own thoughts for a while.)

      MELANIE: I shouldn’t hang around too long otherwise I won’t get to email my boyfriend before I’m back on the clock. He lives abroad which makes it tricky but he’s always there for me. He’s really good to me.

      CHRISTIE: That’s nice. When did you meet?

      MELANIE: Well, I haven’t actually met him in person, we met online. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind but I’m already in love.

      CHRISTIE: Very mysterious. Maybe
