LIGHTS ARE DIMMED<br />
MARY stands stage-left. Her back is to JOHN Lost and confused, she acts like a child in a<br />
supermarket.<br />
JOHN stands stage right, facing MARY. Bone tired, he tries to gently coax MARY back to<br />
reality. But his patience is wearing thin.<br />
JOHN signs the "moon song," softly, but uncertainly- as if trying to calm down a toddler on<br />
the verge of a volcanic tantrum.<br />
Moon Son<br />
Verse One:<br />
I'm lying on the moon<br />
My dear, I'll be there soon.<br />
It's a quiet and starry place<br />
Time 's swallowed up in space,<br />
We 're here, a million miles away.<br />
Verse Two:<br />
There's things I wish I knew,<br />
There's no thing I'd keep from you,<br />
It's a dark and shiny place<br />
But with you, I know I'm safe,<br />
We 're here, a million miles away.<br />
LIGHTS FADE UP<br />
MARY:<br />
JOHN:<br />
MARY:<br />
JOHN:<br />
John? ...<br />
Mary<br />
John? Where are you? John. John, I can't see.<br />
Mary, I'm right here.<br />
JOHN goes to put a comforting had on MARY's shoulder. MARY walks in the opposite<br />
direction.<br />
MARY:<br />
John?<br />
Exasperated. JOHN continues to stalk MARY around the stage. Almost comedic, apart from<br />
MARY's expression. Think: Twisted, pantomime: A "HE'S BEHIND YOU!" moment.<br />
JOHN:<br />
Mary, look at me!<br />
Beat. MARY turns, and sees JOHN.
