Book By: Burton Bumgarner
Play #: 2268
Pages: 33 pgs
Cast: 3 m, 3 w

Inspired by the short story by Richard Connell. In this updated version of a classic thriller, corporate headhunters give new meaning to the term "hunting." Throughout the Zaroff Corporation's long history, success is based on finding the right employees. Four professionals are invited for an interview at Zaroff's headquarters. After a gourmet meal and cordial introductions, the potential employees realize that this would be the perfect job with the perfect salary. The human resource manager of Zaroff then tells the potential employees that they are all competing for one opening. They are going to be locked in the luxury condominium with no way to escape. The one who gets the job is the one who can survive the evening. What better way to test loyalty, resourcefulness, and resolve? At first, the four are frightened and horrified and refuse to have any part of the game. Then they begin to consider "the perfect job."
