SUSPECT TO CHANGE

WILL HUMBLE
Synopsis

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 accident—taken 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 groups—from 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 knows—and periodically wants to shake."
