[glow=white,9,900]THis is a really good one. It is copy righted, and I also don't want to post the whole thing yet. Have to get permission anyway. Oh well, enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
Act I, Scene I
CURTAIN: closed
LIGHTING: forest silhouettes, the fading of dusk to night.
GEORGE: A rugged looking boy of about 14. He is wearing a red cyclas marked with a white "X" on the breast. Around his neck is a message pouch. George enters from the back, side of the auditorium, trying to escape notice. He is unarmed. Heads to stage.
STOOGES #1, #2, #3: Three general bad guys of questionable looks and intelligence. Each wears a cyclas of black adorned with a gold fleur-de-lei. All armed with knives or swords. #1 carries a cross bow, #1 appears of higher circumstance than others. Enter back center, ineptly looking for George, work way toward stage where they will meet him.
SOUND: General night sounds interrupted by horse noises. Dialogue begins.
STOOGE #1:
The wood is too thick here.
STOOGE #2:
What if he circles back?
STOOGE #3:
(Teasing)
Certal I will stay here with the horses. You two go after him. Be on guard, I would hate to have to go back and tell his lordship you were thrashed by a half-grown boy!
STOOGE #2:
(Sarcastically)
Ha-Ha! Very funny. You come with us.
STOOGE # 1:
(Seriously)
The Baron will thrash all of us if we do not stop the runt with his message.
STOOGE #3:
(to STOOGE #2)
What is the message? Is it important?
STOOGE #2:
(Exasperated)
How do I know? You think the Baron confides in me about secret matters that go on in his inner chambers?
STOOGE #3:
Not more than your wife does!
Dodges well aimed slap by STOOGE #2.
STOOGE #2:
Shut up! Shut up you villain!
STOOGE #1:
(Angrily)
Go to! Both of you stop it!
STOOGE #2:
One more remark about my wife and I will break your head!
STOOGE #1:
(tone of command)
I said cease!
STOOGE #3:
(Apologetically)
I didn't mean anything by it.
STOOGE #1:
(Frustrated)
S'teeth! How am I to get anything done with the likes of you? Use whatever God gave you for brains! If the Baron sent us riding like hell's fury across the moor at night, it's important!
STOOGE #3:
We will find him.
STOOGE #1:
(Quieter)
Cease!
STOOGE #3:
All I meant to say…<br>
STOOGE #1:
(Angry)
I mean quiet! I thought I heard something.
A moment of silence. George is seen creeping toward the bridge. The three stooges stealthily surround George.
STOOGE #1:
(Out Loud)
What! Ho boy! Stand where you are if you hope to live long enough to grow your beard~
STOOGES #2 and #3 grab George's arms.
STOOGE #3:
(Condescending)
That's a good lad.
STOOGE #3 takes message.
STOOGE #1:
Tell me your name boy.
GEORGE:
(Defiant)
George.
STOOGE #1:
(Superiority)
And who is your master?
GEORGE:
(Defiant)
None but my own conscience.
STOOGE #1:
(Chuckles)
Such a saucy lad. Pity you will not tell me. I just wanted to tell your lord what a bold and noble lad you were. You might have made a great knight someday. Now no one will ever know.
STOOGE #3:
You led us a merry chase. Die proud.
STOOGE #1 aims his crossbow...
