EXERCISE 1.0.
‘DANCE OF DEATH’
It is a special ‘Halloween Prom’ and our hero is a little worse-for-wear. Trapped in bathroom cubicle for over an hour now - the lights go out… and things are about to get weirder.
KEY POINTS
Position: Kneeling and heaving over a ‘toilet bowl’
Open the scene by violently vomiting!
A heavy wretch that almost brings your guts up.
You feel awful.
Maybe your drink has been spiked?
You reach behind, checking the lock once more.
It is still jammed.
You have had enough now…
You beg and plead for someone to help you.
Over and over...
The Desperation almost too much to bear.
And then:
Lights out!
Silence.
Deep footsteps that settle just on the other side.
Your anxiety rises quickly…
Striving to gather your senses…
Scared to speak out, until:
SMASH!
The cubicle door is slammed.
Again.
And again!
“Who’s there!?”
No answer.
Just the constant thud.
Again…
And again…
This can’t be happening, cant it?
All you want is for this hell to stop.
And, then…
Suggested Duration: 2 Minutes
