PLAYS
SIX INCHES ABOVE THE KNEE
Full-length
Okay, so, here’s the thing, the valedictorian gets to speak, but that leaves exactly, only, ONE more student speaker at the 2013 High School graduation ceremony of The Harpeth Valley School for Girls. And it will be absolutely over Mary Elizabeth, Mary Alice, M.KAT, and Mary Louise’s DEAD BODIES that they miss the chance to finally expose Coach Mag and tell the whole school community what he did to their friend Mary Morgan. It’s about time everyone heard her side of the story. Revenge is best served in a kilt.
