The Stampistas

2 women, 1 man. Approximately 15 minutes. After working together for over a quarter of a century, one worker realizes that the relationship will never develop as fully as she'd like. Short play written for a challenge: to write a boring play in which the subtext is fraught with all sorts of repressed emotion. Inspired both by memories of Murray Schisgal's The Typists, on which the author worked as property master in its off Broadway production, and seeing bureaucrats doing their job as stampers in an Italian government office in Naples.
