[the feminine urge to disappear]

by Anna Watts

Short Play, 2f

This one act play is a hot pink poem that assaults your eyes with girliness and attacks your ears with #basic catchphrases. Two women, X¹ and X², sip oat milk lattes at their favorite organic café as they #WorkFromHome. They are happy in their existence, blissfully indulging in the distractions of life… until they realize they are being stalked by [him]. Will this café ever be theirs again? Will they ever feel truly safe?
