-- *Mar*Sure! Here’s an *original short drama* inspired by the same theme — *procrastination, courage, and responsibility.*
It’s written in a simple, stage-friendly format so it can be performed by students or adapted for reading. ------------------------------ 🎭 *Title: “Tomorrow Never Comes”* *Theme:* Procrastination — the fear to face problems *Setting:* A college classroom and later a dream sequence *Characters:* - *Arjun* – a bright but lazy student, always postponing work - *Meera* – his sincere classmate and friend - *Professor Rao* – wise and strict teacher - *Voice of Conscience (Jekyll)* – Arjun’s inner self that wants to act - *Voice of Excuse (Hyde)* – Arjun’s lazy self that wants to postpone everything ------------------------------ *Scene 1: The Classroom* *(Professor Rao enters. Students are chatting. Arjun sits with his phone, ignoring his unfinished project.)* *Professor Rao:* (sternly) Arjun! Have you completed the report on social behavior? *Arjun:* (smiling lazily) Almost done, sir. I’ll submit it tomorrow. *Meera:* (whispering) You said that yesterday too, Arjun. *Professor Rao:* (sighs) Tomorrow, tomorrow! The most dangerous word in the dictionary. Remember, Arjun, time punishes those who waste it. *(Bell rings. Professor exits. Arjun leans back in his chair.)* *Arjun:* I’ll do it tonight. For sure. *Meera:* You always say that. What are you afraid of? *Arjun:* (shrugs) I’m not afraid. I just need the *right mood.* ------------------------------ *Scene 2: The Dream* *(Lights dim. A strange sound. Arjun falls asleep at his desk. Two voices echo — one calm and one mocking.)* *Jekyll (Conscience):* Arjun, wake up! Finish what you started. *Hyde (Excuse):* Why bother? It’s just one report. You can do it *tomorrow.* *Jekyll:* Tomorrow is a lie you tell yourself. Each delay digs your own pit. *Hyde:* Nonsense! The world will wait. People talk, not act. Be like them — safe, comfortable. *Arjun:* (confused) Who are you? *Jekyll:* I’m the part of you that *wants to do.* *Hyde:* And I’m the part that *knows how to avoid.* You need me. Without me, you’d be stressed all the time! *Jekyll:* (firmly) No. Without *you*, he’d be free. *(They circle around Arjun. The clock ticks louder and louder.)* *Clock (voice-over):* Tick… tock… tomorrow never comes… *(Arjun covers his ears and screams.)* *Arjun:* Stop! I can’t live like this anymore. I’ll do it — *now!* *(Hyde fades away. Jekyll nods approvingly. Lights brighten.)* ------------------------------ *Scene 3: The Next Morning* *(Arjun wakes up with the sunrise. He rushes to his desk, opens his laptop, and begins to type furiously. Meera enters.)* *Meera:* You’re up early! What happened? *Arjun:* (smiling) I had a meeting with myself — and I finally won. *(Professor Rao enters later.)* *Professor Rao:* Well, Arjun? *Arjun:* (hands over report) Not perfect, sir. But done. *Professor Rao:* (smiling) That’s perfection enough. Work done is always better than work delayed. *(They all look at the clock. It ticks softly — peaceful now.)* ------------------------------ *Moral (Spoken by Meera to the audience):* “Procrastination is a dream that never wakes. Courage means doing the work *now*. Because every time we wait for tomorrow — we lose today.” ------------------------------ Would you like me to make this drama *shorter for a 5-minute school play* or *expand it into a full 3-act version* with more characters and scenes? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
