Ella and Ava, s Guide to Master Deception<br />
Aileen Molly Gordon<br />
SCENE 1:<br />
Spotlights show two girls ELLA and A VA on either side of the stage, the girls are<br />
talking on their phones. ELLAS side of the stage has a laptop for her to type on.<br />
There is no way this is going to work.<br />
Come on, this plan is fool proof!<br />
ELLA<br />
AVA<br />
ELLA<br />
Ava, our mothers threw a fit when they found out we were going to Dublin. There is<br />
no way they are going to let us go abroad, especially not to Greece of all places.<br />
AVA<br />
I'm telling you, I've got it all figured out. All we need to do is make sure we lie to<br />
them just enough for them to let us go, but not enough for them to punish us if they<br />
find out we lied.<br />
ELLA<br />
Okay, but we need to make sure we are on the same page about this. If this falls<br />
through I'm going to be in so much trouble.<br />
AVA<br />
Definitely. If we write down our lies, we won't get caught/<br />
I'm making a word document now.<br />
ELLA<br />
(a projection behind the stage shows the document. ELLA types the title ELLA AND<br />
AVA'S GUIDE TO MASTER DECEPTION and types a numbered list)<br />
AVA<br />
Okay, so first we write down what's true. We can add our. .. embellishments<br />
afterwards.<br />
ELLA<br />
