LA MORT DE DIANA---- (a soliloquy) [Script]
a spoken word piece that is all centered in the mind of one main character. In this piece the main character will be speaking in Shakespearean tongue, and it will be a Male character. In the short story, His wife or lover (Diana), has just recently committed suicide. After discovering her body in the bathroom. He walks in their bedroom, that they once shared the night before, and goes on a soliloquy about his lost love, pain, sorrow, and much more.
(The unnamed husband Protagonist {played by Brian Pitts} wakes up in his room to find his lover not by his side, he is confused.)
Brian - HMMMM.. Where art thou, Diana, my fair lady, thou whom birthed our two youngins.
Upon every rise of the morn’, I wake next to thee,
Thou pale white skin illuminating the heavens, my eyes frozen in tribute of adoration,
Thou curves of thou sides moving like the streaks of Leonardo’s brush.
But now I see only the dark imprints of where thou body once laid.
I crave the sight of thee! Where art thou! ( Louder)
(the engineer will edit in sounds of footsteps and a door creaking; signifying that the husband is walking to investigate the lavatory)
Brian - DIANA!! Nayy, NAYY!!!! (louder and more emotional.)
Why have thou done this to yourself, what crime of the serpent have thou committed?
Thine skin just hours ago was quaint and vivacious, but now that same paleness is tainted and lifeless.
Oh the horror, the horror (whimpering sounding; )
This lavatory is forever stained with the pools of thy mortal blood,
Hades’ River to the netherworld in what we once shared as a domain.
And now the blood is forever stained on me. Stained in the very place you cleansed your impurities the night before. (more quiet and reflective; given-up/acceptance)
I don’t want to leave thou, I want to hold you like this forever BUT
I must talk to your youngins now. Until we meet again...
