Five Second Rule is a comedic micro-play where germs are portrayed as a military squad waiting on a kitchen floor for dropped food. As they prepare for their “mission,” they reveal that germs themselves invented the five-second rule to trick humans.

An army of germs--such a fun one-minute play that also reveals some things about germs that should make us feel grateful to them. I love how each "soldier" in this play has a distinct personality, as well as a very funny name!

A clever and delightfully imaginative short, Five Second Rule turns a familiar everyday myth into a witty, high-stakes microscopic battle. Dana Hall crafts playful, character-driven humor with military precision, giving each germ a distinct voice while building toward a perfectly timed punchline. Beneath the comedy lies a surprisingly smart twist on immunity and human behavior, making the piece both entertaining and inventive.
