Here’s the scene. Last night while tucking my mom into her fourposter bed and kissing her good night, my love for her inspired the following dialogue.
It is one of the shortest one act plays ever written, but thanks to the leading lady, I guarantee, it is one hard act to follow.
Sit back, relax and enjoy. And, don’t blink or you’ll miss it.

Tom: “Good night, good night!
Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.”
Mom: Who said that?
Tom: Shakespeare.
Mom: I love old Shakey … he was full of it.
Tom: Good night!!!
