Surfing in Munich

10-minute romantic comedy
As Paddy says when he meets Sarah at an airport baggage claim carousel, “Tings can happen in the most unlikeliest o’ places”.


CHARACTERS
PADDY  young Irish man
SARAH   young Jewish woman
+ 1 or more travelers of either gender

SETTING
Baggage claim carousel at Munich Airport

Throughout the play various pieces of baggage pass from one side of the stage to the other at a constant rate as if they are on a conveyor belt. There are many imaginative low-tech ways to achieve this effect. The funniest probably has the items moved along by stagehands dressed in black unitards.
