The Merger - TEN-MINUTE PLAY

by Tom Erb

Executive floor men's restroom at Sterling Industries headquarters. Marble counters, gold fixtures, soft jazz piped in. The muffled sounds of a party - laughter, clinking glasses, occasional applause - filter through the walls. Three urinals, two stalls, and an elegant sitting area with leather chairs.

The Merger - TEN-MINUTE PLAY

Recommended by

Dan West: The Merger - TEN-MINUTE PLAY by Tom Erb

“

Things are changing at Sterling Industries. Some may benefit and others not. An overheard conversation in the executive washroom may change the fates of all involved, if Richard Sterling has the courage to let it. This tautly written short play by Tom Erb perfectly captures our current era’s corporate zeitgeist.
