The Drop Of A Hat
Author(s):
Dick Berg
A battle is raging for editorial control of Mode Magazine. Fran, the Editor-in-Chief, is nervous; the owner of the magazine has recently appeared in the office, and she shows up when a head is about to roll. Fran summons her friend Leslie, and they work out an entirely new approach for the magazine. The staff is unhappy, but Fran will hear no objections. What Fran doesn't know is that while Leslie encourages her to her face, she is indicating concern about Fran's ideas to everyone else. The owner summons Leslie and tells her to unseat Fran. Fran's secretary joins the conspiracy and through a series of deliberately engineered misunderstandings, Fran fires Sasha, one of the few really loyal staff members. The owner sends Fran off on a vacation, a gentle way of showing her the door, and Leslie moves into Fran's office, and Fran's secretary moves to Leslie's old office. The play ends with the former secretary is lovingly fingering the "Editor-in-Chief" lettering on the door of Leslie's new office.
