Hi, how can I help you
“I came here for the audition”
Oh, we’re done. We’ve already filled up the roles.
“It says here auditions are until seven”
Well, we finished early. Sorry.
“I took a 4-hour train to get here. Can you give me a chance anyway, just so I feel like I didn’t waste my time? Maybe you can give me
some pointers...some guidance'
(Sigh) Okay, but just this once. You can start anytime.”
'Thank you SO much. Can I have the script please? '
Script? There is no script.
'No script?
No script. You just have to write it as you go along.
'Oh, okay…may I know what role I’m playing? '
“That is up to you.
'Alright… I guess it’s improvisational, right? '
More or less.
'Okay…I think I got the idea. Just tell me the gist of the story.'
That too is up to you. Everything is up to you. The story, the script, the role, the whole shebang. It’s all yours.
(A pause, to regain composure)
'Should I just begin? '
You already have. In fact, you’re almost at the end of it.
I suspect this is a brilliant Allegory as it works on two levels. So well done! 10 love Karin
Wow Sonya; I feel like an intrepid discoverer, coming upon this. It's truly awesome. I got a slight clue about how it would wind up; but not until I was practically at the end of it. Quite the number this one works on you! (smile)
