Leaves, No Leaves (playwright)

In an outdoor scene, where the leafy succulent plant Leafy sits on a stool. Another plant with beautiful leaves Maple comes and talks with it.

Time:

Present Day

MAPLE

I have many leaves, orange and red. What about yours?

LEAFY

(looks at her leaves)

I have leaves that look the same.

MAPLE

Poor you. I have many, many leaves to have.

LEAFY

Yeah. I have one color that does make any difference.

MAPLE

Are you saying that you are making a difference in colors?

LEAFY

No, I was… Nevermind.

MAPLE

See, you are overthinking one color. I have so many--

(the strong wind blows all her leaves away and MAPLE starts to cry)

LEAFY

Your leaves change to autumn. You get to change.

MAPLE

I do not want to be naked!

LEAFY

Too bad, I am a succulent plant with thick leaves.

(dances)

MAPLE

Shut up!

(LEAFY stops and stays quiet)
