ACT TWO
THE MISTRESS OF WHOLESOME

In this one act comedy script, Gwen, ‘the mistress’ surprises Margaret, ‘the wife’ of
Leland, a prominent cardiologist in their home and holds her hostage with an antique
gun. According to Gwen, Leland has now fallen back in love with Margaret as the couple
has gotten closer in their efforts to adopt a baby. Gwen is naturally ‘very put out’ by this
and wants Margaret to convince Leland to fall back in love with his mistress.
Things become even more complicated when Arnold Callan, from the adoption agency
arrives to interview the would be couple as potential parents. The two women must act
fast to salvage this situation making up excuses to why the husband is not present as
