Scramble!

Scarmble! is from David Wiltse, the playwright who brought us A Marriage Minuet and Sedition. It’s a normal day as deadlines are frantically met in the offices of a local golf magazine until a rumor panics the staff that their publication is being sold to a corporation. A new hire comes into the office and everyone suspects him of being the “hatchetman”, a businessman brought in to decide whether or not staff members are pulling their weight. With their jobs on the line, mass hysteria breaks out. In the meantime, office politics are magnified by outlandish office relationships and mistaken identities. Love triangles quickly become love quadrangles as all the characters end up in intimate situations for all the wrong reasons, and in some instances, with all the wrong people. In the end, they scramble desperately to uncover their stories, their lovers and their cubicles.
