Goodnight, Prometheus!

by Ann Stofflet

A ten-minute comedy based on the story about the men who posed for the golden Prometheus sculpture on display at Rockefeller Center in NYC. Two older men have a long-lived rivalry regarding which one of them is the real Prometheus. A friend and waitress plays judge and jury, and in doing so, helps the men realize that they are made up of more than one cool thing they may have done over 30 years ago.

    A great little comedy for older actors, especially those who aren't afraid of pushing the envelope a bit. This would be hilarious in performance, and also very sweet.

    A very sweet, wholesome short play with fun roles for older men. I enjoyed the character voices quite a lot!

    This play is the definition of a crowd pleaser! I was lucky enough to direct it for a ten minute play festival, and it was an audience favorite. Full of hilarious lines and physical comedy, with a heartwarming message, this is a great addition to any line up of ten minute plays.
