Scene 1 Lines Flashcards
Fauntine: Minds at 7:00 tomorrow. So you should come, unless you already are. My sister will be there, which is too bad. I wish she didn’t exist.
(offstage) Kelvin get back here
Garbiela: But for reasons no one talks about, the theatre was never rebuilt after the famous fire. These days it’s easy to find: you just follow the signs that say “ gymnasium”
(offstage) you’re going to have to be louder.
Colby: I am louder!
(offstage) don’t get frustrated
Colby: Everybody hates this part of the play anyway.
Not if it’s done correctly. Again.
Colby: All right everyone. Are we having a good time?
No, big, Colby. I need you to be big. The play is called the Turn of the Screw with audience participation. You’re providing the audience participation.
Colby: Are we having a good time? (first time)
ARE WE HAVING A GOOD TIME?
Colby: Are we having a good time? (2nd time)
You’re getting quieter!
Colby: My throat closes up when I’m terrified.
How can you be terrified? There’s nobody even here.
Colby: I’m picturing them anyway. “I have an important job for you. When I say a word…”
WHEN I SAY A WORD!
Colby: When I say a word, you’re all going to shout out that word, and if you don’t, the whole play will fail.
THE WHOLE PLAY WILL FAIL. Moving on! Let’s get set up for scene 21B
