Dramatis Personae
Harold Camping
Ms. Flockhart
The setting is Harold Camping's office at Family Radio in
Oakland, CA. There is a line graph on a wooden stand in
the corner of the room. It showed a freefall in listeners
since May 21. On the desk, there is an empty tray where
donation vouchers are supposed to go. Next to it is another
tray for unpaid bills, this one overflowing. Next to the trays
is a desk calendar showing a date of October 20, 2011.
The "On Air" light over the office door has been turned off.
The clock on the wall says it is 11:55 p.m.
Harold Camping, President of Family Radio, is seated at
his desk. Standing next to him is Ms. Flockhart, a cleaner in
Harold Camping's employ. She is holding a feather duster
but will provide no exposition during the play.
