"CINDY and JULIE"
by Bruce Kane

Time: Whenever
Place: A Waiting Room
Characters:
Cinderella Charming: – Young, pretty, disappointed.
Juliet Montague (nee Capulet): - Younger that Cinderella. Pretty, hopeful
Stern Woman: - Older than Cinderella. Cold, rigid, angry.

(Two young women sit nervously in a waiting room.)

JULIET: Excuse me. Have we met before?

CINDERELLA: I don’t think so.

JULIET: You seem so familiar. You sure we haven’t…

CINDERELLA: Yes, I’m sure.

JULIET: I feel I know you from somewhere.

CINDERELLA: It happens.

JULIET: My name is Juliet. (she extends her hand) Juliet Montague.

CINDERELLA: Cinderella… Cinderella Charming.

JULIET: (excited) Really?

CINDERELLA: (world weary) Really.

JULIET: From the…?

CINDERELLA: I’m afraid so.

JULIET: Oh wow.

CINDERELLA: Yeah… Oh wow. (following another long pause) Montague. Is that your married name?

JULIET: Yes… But, I’m thinking about going back my maiden name.

CINDERELLA: I’ve thought about that. But it seems such a hassle. Besides Charming sounds so much nicer than Schegglehoff.

JULIET: I see your point.

CINDERELLA: What was your maiden name?

JULIET: Capulet.

CINDERELLA: (surprised) Juliet Capulet?

JULIET: (shyly) Yeah.

CINDERELLA: I thought you were dead.

JULIET: I thought you lived happily ever after.

CINDERELLA: That was the plan.

JULIET: The best laid plans…

CINDERELLA: So, the suicide…?

JULIET: We faked it.
