Fun

Bonnie and Hillary, two troubled teenagers, meet one morning and become best friends, telling each other all their secrets. They decide to run away together, steal a car. How? Get into someone's house and snatch their keys. But once they get inside Mrs. Farmer's house their excitement climaxes in the frenzied murder of the elderly woman. That night, camping out in Hillary's room, among the teddy bears and stolen nail polish, Hillary writes about their day in her diary. "The murder was lots of fun." Most of the play takes place in a youth detention center where Bonnie and Hillary tell the story of their incredible day to Jane, a youth counselor, and John, a journalist, presenting both adults with the challenge of trying to understand.
