Life is Hard, A Play

Actor enters, stands center stage. One spot light opens around them. Actor looks over the small crowd nodding with deliberate eye contact to a few of the audience members.
 
There is a small breath and sigh actor says: “Tonight I will be performing a small monologue titled “Life is Hard.”
 
Lights seem to dim and stay the same all at once.
 
Actor bows head, blinks eyes, silent internal curtain and Namaste all at once.
 
Actor: Raises hand into the air as if to wax poetic, alone, for the next two hours.
Life, is hard.
 
Actor bows head, blinks eyes, silent internal curtain and Namaste all at once.
 
Turns around and runs like hell.
