A Drama in Two Acts, by Steven Adkins and Tim Wilson, 1996. The product of Mad Work.
The Cutlet
The cast of characters according to their physiognomic relation to wild beasts:
- Stimes Addisson as the envelope;
- Teaspins Kudos as the starfish;
- Zeus appears in the form of a sperm-whale;
- some Cum is the antelope;
- some Salt is the donkey;
- the Woman is the sea-yage in jelly fish;
- a Kidlet the small child.
- And of course, the Cutlet, as itself.
"An embryo strangles and dictates." ---?
Act One
The stage is completely dark. The spotlight singulates an envelope which comes swishing onto stage, stripping, opening it's contents. The spotlight widens, revealing a scrubby plain, in the manner of the Great Western Dream. Zeus is sitting on a boulder. The cutlet is in a barrel, floating in water. The audience can see inside the barrel due to a contraption that projects it's innards onto a screen, center stage. Two ministers operate the machinery, silently, dressed in black and faceless.
Zeus: (exasperated)
- How dare you know?
- How dare you conspire?
