On A Scale From 1 To 10
by Art Shulman
Synopsis: Both characters are in bed, eyes closed. Finally, Martin rises and delivers a long speech in which he rates both himself and his girlfriend Marlene on physical attractiveness, using a 1 to 10 scale. Finally he returns to bed and closes his eyes. Then Marlene rises and comments on what he said. He then gets up and they argue about what each of them said about themselves and each other. Do they ever get back into bed with each other?
Notes: Both actors should be "plain" looking. This play was performed as part of Bedroom Secrets, Fire Rose Productions"™ show of one-act plays, North Hollywood, CA.
