An elderly Holocaust survivor encounters a rebellious teenager in a tattoo parlor. Melanie is determined to get a butterfly tattoo against her mother's wishes. Sarah is removing her own concentration camp tattoo-91366. Great for competition one-acts, an evening of short plays, or to introduce Holocaust Literature, parent-teen relationships or survival. Sarah is curious as to why anyone would want to remove a tattoo. She is planning to get one to assert her independence from her mother. The backstory-Sarah has been conducting an adolescent feud with her mother, who obviously knows nothing about being a teenager. In defiance of her mother's wishes, she seeks out a tattoo parlour and has decided on a butterfly tattoo. While there, she encounters a woman old enough to be her grandmother. Surprised at finding someone of an older generation at such a place, Sarah pours her heart out to this stranger, only to find out that the woman is there to have an old tattoo removed. Who would do such a thing? Why would anyone remove such a coveted prize? Does what she discovers make her change her mind about her own life and her relationship with her mother?
