The Closet

Aoise Stratford

A ten-minute play about Bart Sponge, a three-year-old toy and a replication of SpongeBob that gets thrown into a closet alongside a toy meant to resemble Barney and a Teletubby. The characters open up about how the parents threw them away because they believed that the toys were queer propaganda. The toys resolve on the act that they are just toys and that kids didn’t care or were hurt.
