Ten Minutes to Live


1m, 2w or either
1m college age or older; 2w or either, similar age

A terrorist is being helped into a suicide bomb vest by his two cohorts, who each are in love with him. Across the ten minutes of playing time, six songs help them express their credo and their love before the bomb is set to go off.

The terrorist's cause is never fully explained (although production values can make some cause evident). The bouncy quality of the music and the comic tone undercut any seriousness of the situation.

Production requirements for Ten Minutes to Live are simple, with only the suicide bomb vest and a plumber's helper called for in the script. This ten-minute musical presents opportunities for actors and production teams to let their imaginations run free.
