In this dramatic monologue, running approximately 1 minute, Joffrey, a raccoon who has recently lost his life partner, has asked Grace (fellow raccoon) to help him move his loved one’s body to a sacred place to memorialize her. Grace has suggested a few places (a dumpster, a special tree), but Joffrey isn’t interested in those locations. In the monologue, Joffrey explains to Grace how he met his partner at the train station parking lot they are now in, inside a truck engine one rainy day (this will lead up to revealing where he wants to place her body, further in the play).

About the play, 20 MAGICAL MINUTES OF DARKNESS AND SILENCE AND PEACE
Grace, a raccoon, is begrudgingly charged to find, and bring back, her fellow raccoon, Joffrey, who has gone missing after a shocking personal tragedy. When she finally finds the depressed Joffrey in a train station parking lot, he is carrying around a large garbage bag and refuses to come back with her—yet. He is reeling in grief, and in order to find solace and closure, he has to do something first. At this parking lot. With the garbage bag. And he needs her help. This is a play where our characters are raccoons. They talk about cat food, pizza from a dumpster and being tired when staying awake during the daylight. But at its core, is a story about love, loss, pain, grief and ultimately friendship—which is entirely human.
