monologues

Stu’s monologue
First monologue on his own (/ = unable to make out)

I can see erm, on the wall are my plans to sort of get out of this place, loads of posters and pictures representing the time that I’m in, I suppose, / claustrophobia. I’m feeling that’s why, this is like my workshop space, it’s very tight. So, so I need to obviously escape / . er I have to be here a lot so I’ve sorta got a bed, it’s not much of a bed, with sorta springs and a bit of a blanket / but it’s a bed. And this, this is the actual device I’m working on, it’s a sort of contraption. I’ll just take you over here first because this is the table with the plans on. Can you see, that? So you got… this is the city, a river, right, I’m planning to shoot up. In that, can you believe it? In that, to get out of here. Erm of course I have to do a lot of work on this so I got my own bench, two chairs and a piece of wood, right, little jar full of stuff, erm whatever I’m using at the time, I suppose, and a lot of debris, it looks quite messy because we, we did have, well I did have a failed attempt of trying to get out. I sorta smashed in to the ceiling, needs a bit of improvement. So er, that’s my workshop.

Nic’s monologue

I can see a bed with a blanket on it,
I can see a portrait of a man,
I can see posters and pictures, a bench, a plank of wood resting on two chairs to make a bench, a leather belt,
I can see plaster on the floor, a teapot and a jug, a jar of seeds, a lamp, an open box,
I can see a spring and I can see rope,
I can see designs,
I can see a river and I can see clouds, that is what I see.

MP: can you see anything above your head?

I see a hole, and some more clouds , I see the sky.

Nic and Stu, first run together. Stu =black Nic = pink

-So erm this is er my workshop, here we go, got em loads of stuff on the walls, proberbly feels claustaphobic, abit cluttered at the moment, got loadsa plans for this erm contraption that I’m making.
-I see designs
-So very important to get things right, coz this is going to catapult me through this /, you can see a hole already in the ceiling, erm that’s the debris that’s from the thing, attempt that I had not long ago.
-I see a large spring.
-Over here you can see, erm, I use it as my bed. Just some springs and a rusty blanket erm, it’s not amazing but it’s good to get my head down from time to time.
-I see a bed and a blanket.
-erm so you’ve seen the contraption, over here we got more of a specific plan, got this table and on it a diagram of the city I live in, erm, the river, and marked out my workshop, got it planned here.
-I see an open box, with clouds and a river.
-I suppose when I have clouds on / / I was being optimistic because it often stays quite dull round here, but you know, positive, on the day we do need a clear sky. You can see me shooting out, tragection, get up there.
-I see a bright light, a lamp.
-And over here we’ve got erm two chairs and a piece of wood, coz erm, I coundn’t really find a bench, quite pricey, so I thought make do with what you got, er a little jar with things in it, it helps me //
-I see a plank of wood on two chairs, a bench, a belt and a jar with seeds in it.
-Sometimes keep seeds in a jar…. we’ve got my shoes which er are always there, just ready to pop em on, I just like to get in them, I suppose.
-I see a pair of shoes.


Nic and Stu 2nd run together (in the same space)

-So, er this is my workshop space, ok, all over the walls you can see there’s a lot of plans, a lot of stuff. I’m basically planning an escape, erm, on this contraptopn, err, hopefully it’s going to shoot me up. I had a failed attempt already which is why there’s so much debris on the floor.
-I see a big spring in the centre of the room
-I do spend a lot of hours in this workshop, about seventeen hours a day, so I’ve got my own bed, my own space, you know, and a blanket there, not great, not too comfortable but it will do.
-on the right hand wall, pushed up against the wall, I see a small camp bed and a blanket.
-Over here you can see we got a sort of , a diagram with what I’m planning to do, you can see this is the city, erm, the river, and hopfully this device when it’s working properly is going to shoot me out of the city. Of course you can’t just walk out of the city // you / also have to disappear over the wall or you will get stopped///.
-In the corner of the room I see an open box with clouds and a river painted inside.
-Here I got a bench, well a make shift bench, it’s er, I planned to do it that way, it don’t cost that much, I got my two chairs and a plank of wood, a jar, bits and bobs and stuff// contraption.
-In the centre of the room I see a large plank of wood, two chairs which the plank of wood is rested on, a big clear empty jar, with seeds in it.
-Of course there are my shoes, coz, when you use the device you can’t have any shoes on, so yea / I take them off.
-I see a pair of shoes surrounded in plaster in the centre of the room.
