Two nine-year-old children sneak into a cemetery, exploring this different world. One is brave, the other reticent, although both are frightened and cautious. As they read various tombstones, they reflect on what they have heard about death. Their humorous observations relax both for a short while, but soon their fear returns. As they depart, they wish they knew someone who had died and come back to tell what happens when a person dies.
(Note from the authors: In our drama team, we often use adults playing children. This works very well, but one rule needs to be observed. Be sure your actors become children, not just "act" like children. This may sound like a paradox, but it is crucial to the success of the sketch.) |
