Dvorkin (C 2012) The Family, A play in one act, in which the transparent characters—Glenn, Glenda, Gladwin, and Glennis Glass—offer their opinions on such matters as being half full or half empty, accepting oneself as one comes from the Great Factory, the restricted lives of their costlier neighbors in the locked china cabinet, and much more. The characters: Glenn Glass, the oldest and largest of these vessels. Glenda Glass, Glenn's faithful wife and the only painted one of the four. Gladwin Glass, the son, a sturdy and inquisitive young chap. Glennis Glass, Gladwin's sister, who considers herself quite the sophisticate. Excerpt: GLENNIS I think we're much more attractive than those scratched and banged-up plastic glasses next door to us. They hardly shine at all, and they're so—well—plastic! And can you imagine being that garish bright green? It's just too revolting! GLENDA Glennis, dear, acting superior does not become you or any other transparent glass. Perhaps it's not easy being green—or pink or blue. How can you know for sure? And of course they are just as real in their own way as we are in ours. Their basic material is simply different. GLENN
