My Best Friend Grace, by Laurence Harbison
£4.49
Extract from Script:
HER: Why are you following me?
HIM: Me?
HER: You’ve been everywhere lately. And now here. (HE stares. SHE flicks her hair.) Staring. Always staring. At me.
HIM: I haven’t been following you. I may have been staring, though. Sorry. You look like a friend. My friend. Grace. You look exactly like her.
HER: If I look exactly like her, then maybe I am her. If I look exactly like her, why not say, “Hi, Grace”?
HIM: Your nose is different.
Eddie misses his friend Grace and feels guilty for not going to her funeral. He bumps into a girl he thinks looks very much like her on a deserted road.
Suitable for Young Adults/Teenagers
At rise. HER enters, walking quickly, then suddenly slower. HIM enters, walking quickly, following the same path as her. SHE whirls around and faces him.
