A Drama in Two Acts, by Steven Adkins and Tim Wilson, 1996.

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. Zues 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?
(The envelope, pausing and working her panties, fraught by ears, perks up.)

The envelope: (slow and basaltic .. the need to eye the finger)

These things will be forgotten; what of it you slinking devils you
outrageous demons slinking away? and what of my fascination for
dythrambia? my wife can cum, I can cum shooting out the down flying
terrorist for five times, my long finger distracted by thumbs, the fact
that inherent in my shimble is an airwave of skin? Yeddy, it is a
ganham!

The Cutlet: (in the barrel to himself)

How about it, Zeus, you high falutin' water spoutin' Ahab fightin'
mislocation?! ... Yer invoked despite yer adrogynous compliance...
(it waves a mit)
The accident is that which precedes perception
that long kid-thing
(now singing despite itself)
an unexpected burst
loving
that which predisposes confusion
in the hallway
a priori
(a startling high note)
to geo-metric perception: given that
the mind repeats itself in nylons, gloating,
still as sweet
as it ever was
still the shoe
upon which
a balustrade lavishes affectation
and importance --
upon the so-called "gods"

Zeus: ( hearing now the sweet trilling, bellows)
