Secret Joy

10 minutes  ·  1 man, 1 woman

This script is based on a Scottish folk-tale involving “silkies,” or “seal-people.” The mother of a girl believes her daughter has been bewitched by a silkie; her father does not. The man and woman argue, with the woman winning and the man shooting the seal that his daughter loved, only to immediately regret this.
