About the collection

All the ten minute plays in this collection are royalty-free for performance, making Seven Ten Split a budget-friendly way to present a full evening of contemporary comedy.
The seven plays
Five Shakespearean Women Enter a Bar
Kate the Shrew, Desdemona, Juliet, Hecate, and the severed head of Anne Boleyn meet over drinks to dissect love, men, and fate. Big laughs for audiences who love Shakespeare and sharp commentary.
Masochism Tango
Two emotional sadomasochists discover that rejection is their ultimate aphrodisiac. A razor-edged duet about love, pain, and the strange things that keep people together.
GPS – An Auto-Erotic Comedy
A car’s sultry, jealous A.I. voice begins taking control of its driver’s life—romantically and otherwise. A modern look at obsession, control, and the devices that talk back.
The Wrap Party
A man’s bizarrely effective pickup strategy is to tell women they’re not his type—and it works too well. A skewering of vanity, ego, and the entertainment industry’s social games.
Five Tables
One woman is adored by five generous suitors, but none can compete with her twisted, passionate memories of a selfish ex. A cleverly structured comedy of expectations and desire.
The Fan
Set at Dodger Stadium, fans treat the game like an L.A. cocktail party—arrive late, schmooze, eat, leave early. A breezy look at sports, status, and the art of barely watching the game.
