A play I adapted from the story 'Long Walk To forever' from Kurt Vonnegut's book of anthologies 'Welcome to the Monkey House." I wrote this for the summer college program I'm in. I've already casted, and have begun directing the play. I'd like to know what you people think. It's a short 6 pages, especially for all dialogue, and double spaced. For those of you who've read the actual story, I'd like to know what you think of the translation?

Damn Cpanel didn't add the .html for me. Works now.

You know, isn't it funny, that no one will post, now that it works? 404's and red x's get more posts than real images, and real stories.
