Activity #8: Othello, What's the senario?

2.) There is a party. The main character, Riccardo (a generally good guy!), knows that he shouldn’t drink because he has to go to work in an hour. The Group he’s with tries to convince him that “a drink or two won’t hurt.” Riccardo goes to work and because he’s been drinking he starts a fight with a fellow employee. The boss enters. Describe the scene and write the dialogue that could occur between Riccardo, his boss, and his co-workers.

Characters:
  • Riccardo
  • Riccardo's Friend
  • Boss
  • Employee #1
  • Employee #2
Setting:
  • Where: Office work
  • Time: Lunch break time
"12:30pm bell rings"
Boss enters
Riccardo: Good afternoon, Sir.
Boss: (picks up beer can) Who is responsible for this mess?
Employee #1: I am, Sir.
Boss: After 2 years working here and yet your behavior is as if you have never read our terms of agreement.
Employee #2: Please Boss, give him a break, this is his first time doing something this bad. You know what people says, we learn from mistakes.
Riccardo's friend: Well I think you should fire him. What if he continues to do this and everyone starts to get involved?
Boss: Ah, but he's one of the finest workers we got and we can't let him go.
Riccardo's friend: But Boss....!
Boss: It is settled, if he continues to do this, I will have no choice but then fire him.
Riccardo: Thank you Boss, I should go clean up now.
Employee #1: (Whispers to Riccardo) I'll remember this day.
Boss: Now everyone, get back to work! We are behind in schedule and you don't want the others to be ahead.
Riccardo's Friend:(thoughts) Ugh, that dam fool got lucky... but he won't be the next time.

4/5 Play runs a bit short. Reads well. Characters are interesting and compelling.

Thanks
