SHORT EXCERPT FROM ACT TWO: SCENE 1
CLAUDIUS:
A life’s work
A life’s agony
This life of the desk has been agony
This constant exploration
this digging
Digging into the abyss
Writing is an abysmal excavation
We go further and further away from the light with each jolt of the spade
with each stroke of the pick
(HE REACHES FOR A CIGARETTE LIGHTER & BURNS THE NOTE IN HIS HAND, DROPPING IT INTO THE WASTE-PAPER BASKET)
A miner in need of a cave-in
(HE POURS HIMSELF ANOTHER DRINK. TAKES A SIP.
HE OPENS THE DRAW AND TAKES OUT A TAPE RECORDER AND A MICROPHONE. HE PLUGS THE MICROPHONE INTO THE RECORDER, TURNS THE RECORDER ON AND TALKS INTO THE MICROPHONE.)
I, Claudius
being of sound mind and body
sounder than I’ve been for a long time and as sound as I’ll ever be
fully conscious of the fact that I am moribund
that within twenty four hours I will be dead
killed by the habitual consumption of foul kippers
day in day out
putrid
rotting
stinking
kippers
This is my last will and testament
my last decree
I
who have never decreed anything
and now
have nothing left to decree
I have destroyed everything
or am in the process of it
By tomorrow
there will be nothing left
