Small Box With A Revolver is an unsettling one act play about two strangers who awaken in a room, location unknown and no exit apparent. There is a small box containing a revolver and an ambiguous letter of instructions: you must shoot the other. But which is the other, and does it mean shoot to kill?
Then the characters find a coin in the box. It seems to demand a flip, only to lead to the discovery that the coin is the same on both sides. But wait - the box has a false bottom, under which is a second revolver. There is talk of obligations to the Superiors and the possibility of punishment. All of this is subject to intense discussion. It felt like Waiting For Godot comes to the community theater.
Hey, the next play is even gloomier but the whole festival doesn't stay like that.
