More on My Scene

Not done yet but getting closer

The Very Meta Scene

As audience walk in they are handed a play bill, printed on the script for the play. 3 actors are on stage dressed in 1920 vagrant fashion with dirt on their face another actor is beside the stage dressed as a director. It opens with the 3 actors center stage singing a song.

Throw away character one, two and three sing of key and almost in unison: We are the flagrant vagrants of ill smelling fragrance on the corner of Westbro and Elizabeth
We cause quarrels and have no moral you wish we were not corporeal and have horrible breath

They go on repeating the song as the director speaks to himself.

Director: Oh my god, this is horrible, the crowd hates this, they hate me I cant have them hate me. I need their money, loyalty and genitals.

Throw away character one, two and three sing of key and almost in unison: We are the flagrant vagrants of ill smelling fragrance on the corner of Westbro and Elizabeth
We cause quarrels and have no moral you wish we were not corporeal and have horrible breath
we are not without leadership we have a hierarchy of membership and our president is Jakob!

Director (yelling at the cast as they finish signing their last line): Stop, stop this is not my vision, take off those costumes!

(throw away character one, two, and three rip off their clothes leaving throw away character one in his briefs and white sleeveless shirt, throw away character 2 in skimpy red underwear and throw away character 3 in boxer shirts with weed leafs on them, while Jakob enters)

Jakob (delivers this line without any direction as he stares at the rest of the cast taking off their costumes): 'ello chaps...

Director: what the hell Steve, no no no. We're going in a different direction this crowd is young, cool, edgy generation bling bling bang bang drive by blow jobs! They want sex sex sex, sex, the word fuck and face book

(interrupted by the plant in the audience)

Plant in Audience: Myspace!

Director: MySpace, YouTube, and porno, these cats know where it's at and it's here because thats where they are.

Jakob: But, it's opening night! We all know our lines, we've practiced

Director: that's so, so, so theater, so planned out, so staged!

Jakob: this is a stage

Director: Life is a stage, I'm on stage, these kids are on stage they're in costume, and even the guys have their make-up on!

Jakob: And you all agree with this? After all the work we've put into this?

(Jakob points to throw away character one)

(Throw away character one nods)

(Jakob points to throw away character two and smiles flirtatiously at her)

Jakob:

(throw away character two nods in that sexy remorseful way looks down bites her bottom lips and look back up at Jakob)

(Jakob points to throw away character three)

(throw away character three just looks at Jakob stoned and pulls a brownie out behind his back and starts eating it while giggling)

Jakob: He doesn't even know what's going on?

Director: But the audience likes him!

Jakob: Fine, who am I suppose to be and what's my motivation

Director: First you need to get out of character Steve.

Jakob: How am I not out of character? Because I'm not in my underwear?
