Little One and Other Plays

About this book

A chilling psychological thriller, Little One is the haunting story of adopted siblings Aaron and Claire—one the definition of normal, the other deeply disturbed and unpredictable—and the strange lives of their neighbours, a man and his mail-order bride. In Other People's Children, wealthy young power couple Ben and Ilana hire Sati, a live-in nanny, to care for their baby daughter, but Sati ends up being more than a caretaker, exposing the fragility of Ben and Ilana's marriage. Is she filling the holes of their relationship, or widening cracks that will shatter their family? High school is hard, especially for Neyssa, who is not from a privileged family like her best friend Bijou. When the two get into a physical fight at school, they must confront what's really bothering Neyssa. In This World looks at what friendship means to two teenage girls from vastly different social backgrounds, while dealing with racism, class, and reputation.

scene two.

An office: a confined, cramped space. NEYSSA and BIJOU sit on chairs a couple of feet apart, facing the audience. They wait, not looking at each other. Then, after a silence, NEYSSA starts glancing at BIJOU. BIJOU stares straight ahead. BIJOU's lip is bruised and cut.
NEYSSA

My dad'll put me through the wall
He'll whip me.

We were out on the patio we heard it the sound of that cat being backed over by the car
My dad
Goes over
Drags my brother out of the car
His seatbelt was still on and Dad pulls him out of the seatbelt and pushes his face into the cat
The dead cat with its guts out half-under the wheel
And then he broke the bottle over his head.
BIJOU looks at her.
What?
BIJOU
Your dad won't whip you.
NEYSSA
Yeah he will.
BIJOU
No he won't.
NEYSSA
Yeah well your parents?
