SYNOPSIS |
|
JAY, still dripping water from being thrown in the shower again by the school bully, huddles with his best friend, PETER, in a room just off the locker room. Peter has brought a gun and wants Jay to use it on the bully. When Jay hesitates, Peter first tries to reason with him, then questions his courage and even his sexuality. But Jay holds firm—son of a gun salesman, he hates guns—and it finally becomes clear that it is Peter who needs help; the bully has told Peter that he’s next on his list, and he doesn't know what to do. YOU'RE NEXT can either stand alone (in either a 15-20 or 35-40 minute version) or play with TICKING and PLAY'S END as part of the GUNPLAY trilogy.
Jay (Michael Strong) shows Peter (Blake Elmquist) how his little brother fires out the window. Photos are from a made-for-video production at The Haverford School. |
