    About this ebook

    This fifteen-minute play follows two characters—Raymond Mare and Sandra Holt—as they vie for control of Sandcastle Isle. Ray is the CEO and inheritor of Mare Realty, an old, moneyed company which has a near total monopoly on the Floridian beach island. Sandra Holt works for the newer, less successful Beach Realty of Sandcastle Isle. Sandra, pretending she's only a tourist, befriends and manipulates Ray, and the power dynamic between the two companies begins to shift. With each passing scene, the stage is constricted as the water rises, and the beach steadily erodes.

    Cast is 1M, IF, both roles gender flexible.

    Included also in this publication is an afterword by the author, describing his initial inspiration for the play, and the process of making it into a fully formed scene.

      50s. Spent his whole life on the coast.

      SANDRA HOLT

      40s. Grew up inland. Hardly ever went to the beach.

      Setting

      Sandcastle Isle, a fictional Floridian island close to the coast, lined with beach houses. The near future, then a few years later, then a few years later. Summer each time. Rising sea level, increased hurricane activity, and natural erosion are combining to tear away sand from beaches all along the east coast and the Gulf of Mexico.

      The downstage edge of the stage is the ocean. The upstage edge is the dunes. SANDRA HOLT enters upstage with a cell phone in hand, having come down from her beach house. She holds the phone up to her ear, but she has no signal. Frustrated, she wanders up and down the beach trying to find
