3rd
maenad: Let's give her a makeover! 4th maenad: Good plan. Agave, pass me the scissors, and someone
get me some fabric!
(All the maenads crowd around a
terrified screaming Pentheus, while Dionysus Jr. watches in helpless horror)
Pentheus: My nads! My nads!
(everyone falls silent)
Agave: This isn't a her, it's a him!
3rd maenad: And you killed
him!
1st maenad: With the
scissors!
(They all back away from Pentheus who
is lying on the ground, dead)
Medea: Note to self: cancel
appointment with king Pentheus.
Dionysus Jr. beckons the maenads
to leave stage left with him, leaving Agave with her son, center stage.
Agave: Oh no! My son, my only son!
He's
he's
a cross-dresser!
The lights fade center stage.
Medea: (ecstatic) Fantastic! Your
life sucks! (into intercom) Psyche! Tell Dido she's got a lot to live for, and tell Jason
he'll have to reschedule!
Psyche enters stage left and
begins to talk to Dido.
Dionysus: Wow! THE Jason? Now he has
problems! I hear his ex-wife was such an evil conniving witch, that he killed his sons,
his fiancée, and future father-in-law! What a psycho beast!
Medea: He just wouldn't quit whining
about that lost sandal!!
Jason: (stands up and looks down at
the bunny slipper that he is wearing in place of a sandal) I don't know
it's just not
the same
Medea: I'm sorry
everyone
but it looks like our time is up!
(she grabs an ax from beside her desk
and chases Dionysus off stage right while waving the ax) |
