White door leading to small kitchen in the middle dinning table with four chairs .small sink .some cloths-tools are hanging on the walls. everything gives a sense of cleanness. A woman in thirties was walking across the kitchen suddenly great knocking was heard as though was throwing all of his body on the door )
Frank(angrily):
Open that damn door
I hear your feet on the floor
Sofia:
Wait a minute frank
You come home drunk?!!
(she headed toward the door opened it .frank was leaning on it so he almost falling to the ground she held him from the collar of his shirt drag him inside"
Frank:
Go and fix me a dinner
Sofia:(with contempt):
Don’t you feel shame sinner?
You useless wicked dandy
That spend his money on brandy
You are not man to give order
You 're just burden on my shoulder
(he got up dizzily trying to hold her she repulsed him )
Frank:(desperately)
Do you love me no more?
That makes my heart go sore
Sofia:(trying to pull herself together)
We cant keep up this way
I've loved you one day
But you brought that love disgrace
(she took few steps to him shaking him forcefully as though she is trying to extract from him notion of the man she once knew)
(shouting):look at my face
Cant you see iam a woman
Not unbreakable one just normal human
(Emma and Michael entered the stage in their sleeping gown):
Mom what's happened here
Iam almost dying of my fear
Sofia:
You should be used to that
It is only your dad
Now go to bed
Michael: but
Sofia: you heard what I said
Emma and Michael go out)
Great picture for ideal dad
Frank:
I lost all the money I had
(Sofia went mad murmuring unintelligent words while opening a kitchen drawer and taking some paper from it throwing them in his face)
Sofia:(as she fumbling the papers):
Bills that all I got for you
Schools installment for the two
Phone, electricity, and grocery
Don’t add more to my misery
By morn you should leave this house
(frank cried)
Crocodile tears no sympathy rouse
Your departure
Will split my heart into fractures
scapegoat for my kids I'll be
they mean the world to me
(next day, she came to work , a spacious rooms with three desks an opened cupboard stuffed with archives and files one fat women at her same age is typing something moving her head as she says hi..about to sit )
Rosaline:
The manager needs you at his office
Sofia:

(she knocked the door then came into his office)
Manger:
Please come and have a seat
Is the report complete?
Sofia:
It is in my hand
Full report about murderer husband
Manager:
Why do you want money in advance?
Is it for something of great importance?
Sofia:
Thanks for your concern
But I ask for no money in my turn
Manager:
But your spouse…
Sofia(interrupting):
Please give nothing to that louse
( later this day…at her house gate ..respectable couple man and women..the woman holding Michael in his hand ..she stopped them trying to extricate Michael from the woman hand but he pushed her away without even looking to her)
Sofia: reproving him)

Emma:

(frank come out the house)
Frank:

Emma:(furiously)

Sofia:
That illegal without having my say
Frank:

sofia:
any women wretched more than me I wander?
My heart heaves under great load
Like Jesus holding the board on redemption road
From where came all that evil?
Have you like Faust sold yourself to devil?
(she leaves the stage shouting in outrage)
Not all that walks on two is human
Franks:
Shut your play ball mouth hussy woman
(addressing emma )

tough, but money needs work you know
nothing for free what easy come ..easy go
(sofia reentering the stage holding gun in her hand)
Sofia(while beating her feet against the ground):
bravo… on business you just gave great lecture
Busy hand or else I'dhave clapped for you wicked creature
No one to blame for this agony but me
Death on me I will decree
(she pulls the trigger and shoot ..Emma rushes toward her mother makes mournful cry ..she picks the gun..Frank in his place stand still)
Emma: (muffling her tears..shivering..)
Murderer of my mother
Trafficker of my brother
Pimp of my own three crimes no one another
Sadly once I called your father
Oedipus unknown committed a patricide
Of shame, he from the eyes of world hide
But, here in public I will admit
The crime that iam about to commit
(she shot her father.. launched a audible scream of relief.. bunch of people entering the stage.. their whispers grew louder they urged one another to call police.. after whiles two caps come in ..Emma still standing in her place stifle as dummy..the caps came near her put handcuff on her rest she standed motionless they dragged her out the stage saying to one another)
The first :
Homicide.. her own mom and dad!!!
The second(triumphantly)
Man ..you believe me the world is going mad
(the curtain)
It is the first time I try to write something like a play so maybe it is not good but it is just atry
