A whimsical ten-minute play by Carolyn Gage
What can you do when life is too easy, when things are going just a little too smoothly?
The Pickle Store has the solution! They can sell you any kind of pickle you want... a financial pickle, a romantic pickle, a career pickle!
But... transactions aren't as simple as they seem in the the Pickle Store. One pickle seems to lead to another, as the customers find themselves increasingly entangled with the irascible owner. There is the gay man whose love life is languishing in a middle-class rut, the older man bored with his retirement, the policeman looking to bust up a robbery, and finally the homeless man seeking to offload some of the pickles that plague his life.
A short play about the relativity of happiness.
