A Ten-Minute Play

by Donald Loftus 

It’s very late on the opening night of a Broadway musical theatre bomb. The show’s creators, Matt Coleman and Hank Henderson, are drowning their sorrows in a Sardi’ s-like restaurant in the theatre district as the negative reviews flow in. Hank is ready to throw in the towel, but suddenly, they receive an invitation to a breakfast meeting the very next day with Albert King, The King of Broadway, who allegedly has a proposal for a new show. They must decide whether the show is to be or not to be.
