Enconters

Enter Therapist from stage left. She is a middle aged woman from south
Dublin, she speaks with a strong south Dublin accent. She moves near to
center stage and sits down at a desk with flowers and a picture of her
deceased husband on it. She shuffles some papers and pulls a pen out of
her hair which is in a bun. Puts the pen on the desk and picks up the
phone which is also on the desk.
T: Ah yeah hiya Sarah, you can send him in now thanks, alright see you

(Therapist puts down the phone and the door at the back of the stage
opens. Enter Sean through the door, he is an average looking teenager
wearing skinny jeans and a T-shirt with a hoodie. He is 16 years old. He is
from a working class family in Dublin and has a strong north Dublin Accent.
He stands awkwardly at the door)

through papers)Sean! Good morning Sean!
(Sean says nothing, he glares back)
T: OK then, you can sit down on the chair there if you want.
(Sean considers this but then eventually sits down)
T: So, why don't you tell me a bit about yourself?
(Sean stares)
T:Alright, that seems like a topic to discuss at a later date, do you like any
sports? My nephew loves the rugby, goes mad for it. Always throwing balls
about and things. He's in school actually, up in blackrock, lovely school,
nice staff.
