Synopsis

This highly acclaimed drama deals honestly and frankly with the dilemma of teenage pregnancy. The Kentucky Educational Television movie of this script received both the Eudora Welty Americana Award and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Award. Emily and Mary are waiting for someone, and it is apparent that tension surrounds the expected visit. Then Michael arrives and Mary leaves to allow Emily time alone with him. When she tells him she is pregnant, the two frightened young people begin to face the unwanted situation. This play presents a realistic, sensitive and moving look at a real and heartbreaking problem.

Customer Reviews

Just One Day is a one-act play (30 mins.) that deals with the controversial issue of abortion. The perspective of the cast and crew is that this is a difficult time for everyone involved, especially those without a voice. Follow the chaos that permeates young peoples' lives and the obvious lack of support and information that ultimately leads to their decision. This play has huge implications for adolescents, parents, teachers and community members as we follow Emily, Mary and Michael through Just One Day.
