Rule of 8

A sequel to the "great night of theatre*" and a "massive success**" called Rule of 7, it's time for RULE OF 8!(Quote by playwright Brett Epstein)

Rule of 8 is staged readings of two new one-act plays from Brett Epstein (The Flea) and Chris Sullivan (EST YoungBlood). Each original piece had to adhere to the same eight "rules."

THE RULES:
) A doctor.
2) An unexpected kiss on page 11,
3) One character is onstage from the start, but has no dialogue until page 4.
4) It's been raining.
5) A monologue revealing a secret.
6) A character quotes the Wilson Phillips song "Hold On" at some point.
7) This exact line on page 5--> "I was like 'no no no no no, for the love of god NO, I would rather kill myself.'... But then I did it anyways."
8) The final moment of the play--> One character, alone on stage, says "No, wait." Blackout.
