Gallowville - Act one, scene one - Prof. Green

A darkened room, empty Meths bottles lie scattered around the room. There is a patch of congealing vomit on something that looks vaguely like a bed. In the centre of the room there is a crumpled heap of clothing and the like, under this heap lies Clarky. After a few minutes Clarky rises up from the clothing, enter Clarky.

Clarky: My head, my head, why does it hurt so much?

(He looks around and notices the Meths bottles and patch of vomit.)

Clarky: Ah, I see. I'd sell my soul for an asp? No wait. Wrong play. Well it must be time to get up and go to the pub then.

(Enter The Balanced Voice. Note: The Voices all speak from the wings, none appear on stage.)

The Balanced Voice: Hail unto thee Clarky, the last of the uncorrupted. The balance of the world hangs in your hands.

Clarky: What? Who’s there? What the Hell is going on?

The Balanced Voice: Fear not The Foul One for he is but a puppet.

Clarky: Foul One? Puppet? This must be the DT’s. I need Meths quick before The Pink Elephant arrives. I’d better go to the pub.

Exit stage left

The Balanced Voice: He really should have listened. Not to worry, he’ll just have to learn the hard way.

Exeunt.
