Synopsis/Details
A comedic look at what can happen when people choose not to listen, this script is designed to reflect the current situation with CoVid19 and people not listening to government advice. In self isolation, STEVE wakes up and is desperate for the toilet. His wife, SOPHIE, video calls him from another room and tells him she has something urgent she needs to tell him about the previous night. Steve rushes to the toilet as he ignores her and won't let her get a word in edgeways, more preoccupied with his own situation. When he finally does decide to listen, it is too late. Sophie makes her confession: she used the last of the bog roll last night.
