I am looking for a One Act script about Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron" - there is a great video short made in 2009 called "2081" and my kids would love to find a script for it or about something like it.

Basically, the story is set in the year 2081. Via the 212nd, 213rd, and 214th amendment to the Constitution, all men and women are "finally" made truly EQUAL.  The Handicapper General decides who gets what Handicaps you deserve. If you are too strong, you wear weights. If you are too smart, you where headphones that blast you periodically with loud shrieks so that you cannot concentrate. And if you are too beautiful, you have to wear a mask. The story is about a boy/man who dares to be extraordinary in an accepted world.

Hi Tony! My school actually did the One Act, "The Handicapper General" this year, it is based off of Kurt Vonnegut's short story. I can send you some pictures of our set if you would like! Hope this helps, Alex Minton

I'm actually in the process of writing one.  We are applying to the Vonnegut estate for rights and I'll be working on it over the summer.
