This play is available for purchase from www.Playscripts.com. For information about performance rights, please visit www.Playscripts.com.

Synopsis:

Angie plays the lottery. Arnie plots to get ahead at work. The fridge is empty, but no problem -- the Prize Patrol is coming to deliver the big check. Or are they? It's just another day of hope, despair, murderous impulses, and something like love in the lives of four hyper-ambitious yuppies.

Characters: Angie -- A fashionable, fully empowered sales associate working in the service economy. The same age as Arnie. Arnie -- Thirties. A valued team member in the-only-constant-is-change world of high-tech-solution-sales. Willie -- Works with Arnie. Married to Marie. Marie -- A friend of Angie's. Blond.

Setting: Angie and Arnie's place. Time: The day the "trial of the century" ends. Playing time: Approximately 30 minutes.

Productions: Angie and Arnie Sanguine premiered on February 21, 1996, at the Attic Theater in Los Angeles as part of the 4th annual Attic Theater Ensemble One Act Marathon. It ran through March, 29 on a rotating schedule. The Attic Theater Ensemble production of Angie and Arnie Sanguine starred Michele Fox, Drew Wicks, Denise Ryan Sherman, and Paul Brewster, and was directed by Steven Nash.

The Attic Theater's annual one-act marathon has been thoughtfully broken up into four bite-size nights, series A - series D. Series A consists of three worthy endeavors, produced with considerably more talent than money.

In Larry Loebell's Angie and Arnie Sanguine, a delightfully laconic performance by Drew Wicks contrasts nicely with more strident acting style of Michele Fox as Angie. Denise Ryan Sherman and Paul Brewster as the neighbors are equally intense.

-- Wenzel Jones, The Los Angeles Reader, March 15th, 1996

Angie and Arnie Sanguine is a companion play to Edward and Ellie Supine.

SAMPLE SCENE: Angie and Arnie Sanguine

What a day.

Home at last.

It takes longer and longer.

I didn't stop for a minute.

Even with the bypass.

From the moment I got there.

And the car pool lane.

There were mountains on my desk.

And the god damn bus lane.

And everyone screaming...

They're all maniacs.

...Now! I need it, now.

Everyone driving at warp speed, totally wiped, totally buzzed...

Like that wasn't normal, or we weren't already going...

Including me, we're all going...

As fast as we can.

(Acknowledging that she has finished his thought:) Yes. (A beat:) Which is what makes it...

Diverting.

Dangerous.

Exciting.

Exhausting.

It's good to be home.
