Nineteenth Scene
The scene opens on the Great Circle
where will appear in the following order: murderers, suicides, marauders,
spendthrifts, blasphemers, usurers and buggers. Each one of them will narrate
his own history occupying the centre of the stage. The scene represents a mix
between a courtroom and a hospital room: in the bottom nine armchairs; on the
left a hospital bed with a drip’s pale; on the right a hanger with a white coat
doctor; in the middle of the stage there will be a sort of electric chair and a
guitar on it. Four written insignias above the twelve chairs will report in capital characters:
Armageddon, Healter Skelter, The Family
and Spahn’s Movie Ranch. Dante and Virgil, after their dialogue will
disappear in the backstage.
Dante (with a sigh
of amazement)
-
What’s
this master?
Virgil
-
This
the place I was speaking of just a little before! Circle welcomes the sinners who have committed
at least two sins among murders, suicides, marauds, wastefulness, blasphemies,
usury and sodomy.
Dante (l.b.)
-
But
those insignias above…?
Virgil
-
It’s
a long story…
Dante
-
…
and that guitar on the strange chair?
Virgil
-
It’s
part of the same story. The chair is waiting for a guy who is serving a life
jail sentence in California…
Dante
-
Does
he play guitar?
Virgil
-
He
used to play… he swore, plundered and killed because the world hasn’t
recognized him as a musician…
Dante (in a
perplexed voice)
-
And
he’s going to be prized with a guitar to relieve his right punishment for prey
on and killing people?
Virgil
-
Are
you joking my son? The guitar is connected with the electric chair and it’s an
electric guitar… The coming guy will have an electric shock anytime he plays
the guitar…and he will want to play a lot… ‘you know? A sort of counterpass…
Dante
-
Oh,
now I see…
Virgil
-
Enough
chats my son! There is coming the first sinner…
-
Dante
(excited): It would be wonderful anyway!!!
-
Virgil:
Very well! I’ll tell you what! We are going to see many men of
iniquities seamlessly: they will introduce themselves, as you will be
able to hear. At the end of it we’ll leave for the Ante Hell! All right?
-
Dante:
I’m looking forward for anything you think is good for us!!!

Twentieth Scene
1st
Sinner (dressed as a physician he will
wear a knotted rope around his neck)
My name is
Harold Frederick Shipman and I was born in Nottingham the 14th of
January 1946. I was a doctor during my life on the earth. I became a doctor to
make revenge breaking the same rules of those who killed my mother. I hang
myself after killing thousands of people; every time, killing them, by a lethal
injection, made me relive, again and again, my mother’s vicissitudes, suffering
before dying, with useless morphine’s injections… I became master of their
lives, powerful, much more than those poor doctors who were not able to save
the time of my mother (a nursery comes
and sweetly tells the man his diary lethal has come! He reacts with a crazy
laugh and after be injected stops his speech visibly disappointed)
Twenty-first Scene
2nd
Sinner (A breathless guy, dressed as a
child, breaks into the stage. He has an unpleasant, commanding and nasal voice
and take in his hands a model train.)
-
Hey,
you! Have you seen a train, a big, real one, I mean, running away? It’s a train
full of communists, ‘ you know? Since they like so much Russians, I want to
send them to visit the snowy Siberian plains, ‘ you know what I mean(with teeth
grinding) I’m going to wipe all them out, anyway! And now, just excuse me but I
have to go, my country calls me out for the great hunt witches! (touching his forehead) I’m sorry! Of course
before I go let me introduce myself: I was named Irving Roy Cohn, attorney and
industrial at the top level in USA. I died too early because of a liver cancer
that’s why I’m still hunting those bloody communists. And now it’s really time
to go (two red soldiers with rifle in their hands come and Roy Cohn escapes
outside pursued by the two guards.)
