Pockets

TEN MINUTE PLAY - Alan is walking home after dinner when Derek, a young man nicely dressed, asks him for money. Derek claims to be homeless, and is very good at begging. Alan tries to brush him off, but Derek is too engaging, and soon they're having a spirited exchange. Derek eventually all but admits that he's a con, but in the process also intimates that he does more than just pocket his money and go home. This is a brief play about the moral ambiguity of just about everything involving money.
