CHARACTERS: ALI is in her early thirties. She’s chic, dressed in a pencil skirt and blouse, and she has an easy yet mysterious smile. LINDSAY is also in her early thirties. She’s wearing a Marty McFly puffy vest, with a hoodie underneath, and fingerless gloves. She feels defeated, but still clever.
SETTING: Bowery Poetry Club, Lower East Side, NYC, 2012.
At rise:
Ali and Lindsay are drinking cocktails while sitting at the bar in Bowery Poetry Club in New York City. Lindsay takes small sips, Ali gulps it like water. When she’s finished she sets down her glass. Each is mired in her own dismay, and the two are good friends. There’s a Bartender back there behind the bar somewhere.
