This comedy of errors involves love, friendship, misunderstanding,
misplaced pride, and mistaken identity. As the play begins, a policeman enters and tells
Mrs. Teal that her daughter Tina was in an automobile accident and has been taken to the hospital.
He offers to give her a ride. Mrs. Teal hastily writes a note for her husband: "There's been an
accidenttaken to hospital." A bit later Tina enters, finds the note and thinks her mother has
been hospitalized. There's a kidnapping, a jewelry heist, a purse snatching, and a fiance wannabe
who can't get in a word to pop the question. It's funny, funny, funny.
The play was written by 17-year-old Will Humble, a home school student, as a class project when
he studied playwriting with the A. D. Players in Houston. Suspect to Change was first produced
by Brazosport Center Stage as part of an evening of one-act plays.
One act; Set, living room; Time, 8 o'clock one a rainy Friday night. For all groupsfrom
teenage to old age.
"Hilarious is more like it," Linda Formet-Heath wrote in her review for the Brazosport
(Texas) Facts. "Humble has drawn the characters to be someone everyone knowsand
periodically wants to shake."
