Adventures of A Ten Minute Play

Ric Royer

Prologue
Have slicked back hair.

The Lovers Meet
Fleur Immortelle and the Foxy Daughter.
The question will always be asked: what was that inside of her?
The answer will always follow: I think jelly.

Tragedy Occurs in Real Time
The protagonist puts on sweater after sweater
until unable to move.
“Allow yourself to be smitten by the delicacy of a fabric.
Why complain only to fall prey to pain or pleasure?”
Death, Trump and Drum!

The Comedic Resurrection
The new brain doesn’t fit inside his or her old head.
But the hero is paraded around the stage and streets
regardless and without
regard.

The Lovers Find Some Time to Hang Out
Orbs in silhouette.
Fela Kuti.

The Audience Applauds
Hand out gold and expensive jewels to the audience.
Ask them not to clap during the curtain call,
but to throw the gold and jewels at the performers
as hard as possible.
