9/11 Brief

John Flynn Lydon

Our play goes back in time into some historical world events and tragedy’s that have taken place such as 9/11, The battle of the Alamo, and The Columbine shootings

My character is a firefighter on 9/11. He sits in a timeless bar with countless other story tellers. His expirence is triggered when the bartender mentions that the current date is 9/11 which takes him into his monolouge. He talks about how it was a beautiful sunny day that quickly turned dark because of the terrorist attacks. He describes the memories of rushing in an out of the twin towers, saving many lives. The monolouge is then wrapped up by him describing how the twin towers collapsed and how he lay hopeless, in a pile of debris. That takes him back to square one were the monolouge started, in the ambulance. My character (Carson) stays silently in the corner of the bar, as a regular, making comments on overheard conversations throughout the bar. Overall my character is a silent, yet remorseful one. He can tell his scarring tragedy, and listens on to other newcomers inspiring stories.
