RE: RAT Famous Playwrights, Mostly Dead



The Great American Playwright of the next century is in a junior high class 
right now.  

While GoodyTwoShoes is reciting the lines to Our Town out loud to the class, 
the Great American Playwright has torn a quarter page from his text and put 
it into his mouth.  Not to eat it, but to form it into a spitball.

The spitball is the first great play by the Great American Playwright.  

The Our Town text in hands of the Great American Playwright provides an 
unfathomable supply of spitballs. The spitball is thrown at everyone except 
GoodyTwoShoes and the Schoolmarm.  But soon the entire classroom has become 
the audience of the spitball.

The Schoolmarm senses the disruption and interrupts GoodyTwoShoes recitation. 
 "Class!  Pay attention!"   She glares threateningly at the Great American 
Playwright.  She knows the cause of the disruption.  She also knows it's not 
in her control.
