A One-Act Play: This weekend at DU

[Poll_Blind]

<UP CURTAINS>

Reveal: Left side of stage, 20 persons (10 in black shirts, 10 in white). Those with black shirts have their hands around the white shirts' throats and vice versa. White and black shirts are struggling and arguing with each other. Right side of stage, man wearing George Bush mask holding a WW II-style Army-issue flamethrower, lit. To his left hangs a rectangular paper map of the world.

ACTION: George Bush waves pilot light of flamethrower under the map and the black and white shirts turn their heads, stop arguing, but still have their hands on each other's necks.

ACTION: George Bush turns his head quickly and lowers his torch as he notices them. After a moment they turn back to look at each other and resume arguing and choking.

ACTION: George Bush looks back toward the map. He begins a hitching belly-laugh as he drags the pilot light of the flamethrower along the bottom of the map and it catches fire.

ACTION: George Bush, still laughing, looks back toward the black and white shirts, still arguing. He throws his head back in a renewed round of laughter and turns back to look at the map. Laughing harder and shaking his head in an "I can't believe it" way, he sprays the entire map with fire from the flamethrower.
