Two one-act plays by local expat playwrights take to the Seoul stage from Saturday, in a project that sees Seoul Players show off their writing as well as their stage talents.



The two plays have their share of laughs, but will leave audiences something to contemplate, said co-producer Kim Schroeder.





“Rent, Boy” (Robert Michael Evans)



The first, “Rent, Boy” by Raymond C. Salcedo, is a comedy of errors and unpaid debts centered on youth and bad behavior.



“It‘s a wonderful journey. It’s kind of a dramedy. It has wonderful comic moments but it also has very beautiful dramatic moments that are well executed because both plays have really strong casts of actors,” Schroeder said.



The second play, Daniel Kennedy’s “Water Weight,” provides an intriguing synopsis: “A disturbed woman crashes her car in to a diner, further complicating the mystery of how ‘The Stranger’ will gain entrance to the only available toilet.”



Though this may sound like a straight comedy, Schroeder said it developed beyond that.
