Writings / / July 04, 2021
In the theatrical representations a text called “Theater play script ", this has a series of characteristics that allow the actor to guide himself.
This text can have the words and movements described directly or it can be accompanied by notes or glosses, which will clarify your understanding.
The theater script is divided into:
- Acts
- Scenes and
- Pauses
The first two are hierarchically linked, since each act is made up of a certain number of scenes and pauses are interspersed in the scenes.
Theater script example:
FIRST ACT
Monica's apartment bathroom. A very well furnished bathroom with luxurious finishes. The door is on the left side. Pastel yellow tiles with interlocking figurines. The sink has two doors at the bottom, a mirror on top that touches the ceiling, on the right side a toilet and to the right of this is the hydromassage tub. Three decorative frames. Colored soaps and a flowerpot.
SCENE I
Monica goes into the bathroom, holds a cordless phone, closes the door, and looks at herself in the mirror. thoughtful way and as if recognizing herself, looking surprised as if her reflection was not hers herself. She touches her face.
Monica: Mm! There is no doubt; I don't look the same anymore, I'm not the same. These last twenty years have killed me. The bags under my eyes are from insomnia, the crow's feet next to the temples are the result of the unsatisfied and mediocre experience that I have acquired; this mark (pointing to the mark that the smile leaves over time) is hypocritical. Of living being what I am not, showing myself as a porcelain doll that is not allowed to break and feign affection for those people that it could not bear, (he sighs with despondency and resignation).
She pauses slightly as she continues to explore her face.
Monica: The wrinkles on my forehead are from sheltering me in mommy and daddy's protective arms and having been what They wanted me to be and not what I need to be or rather who I am and she is compressed within my; locked in an unbreakable and insurmountable cage deep inside me and that only the confrontation with my fears and myself would break freeing her.
Scene ii
She picks up the phone and without hesitation, but a little fearful, she impatiently dials a number.
Monica: Hi! (in a sensual tone), she already missed hearing your voice. We haven't seen each other for days and I already need you here with me, all I have been able to think about without losing an ounce of concentration is you. I need you close. Not having your caresses make me crazy and upset me... you know (whispering).
(PAUSE)
Monica: I love you too (sentimental).
(PAUSE)
Monica: Phew! (in amazement). She's fine let's try it.
He slides over the toilet, begins to play with his hair, following his neck, and closes his eyes.
Monica: Ahh! (in a sigh tone).
She continues with her hand stroking, continuing with her breasts until she reaches sex.
She reacts, opens her eyes, gets up and begins to undress. She gently peels off her blouse, unbuttons her bra, and lets it fall to the floor. She supports the phone with her shoulder and with both hands she pinches both her nipples hotly until they become hard. Her shoes fly to the other side of the bathroom.
Monica: Mm! (in an ecstatic tone).
She desperately undoes the buttons of her pants one by one, stripping them off and leaving only her panties.
Monica:Please go ahead! Do not stop.
The panties are off. Monica is completely naked and continues to be ecstatic. She begins to masturbate with her right hand and interrupts the action to lie down inside the bathtub. Monica remains leaning in the bathtub making gestures of pleasure and caressing herself completely with both hands.
SECOND ACT
Monica and Mariana in the latter's maiden department, ten years ago. It is a small apartment, but well furnished. No frills, but without a single deficiency. They are found on the king-size bed in the middle of the room, on top of a blue duvet. You can see the kitchen in the background. A toaster and a juicer.
SCENE I
Monica and Mariana are making love in the second's bed. Monica is sitting on her lap and Mariana is lying in front of her. The first gently caresses the legs of the second and begins to kiss her toes, slowly and carefully moving up her legs, giving them small bites. she between kisses, like this, reaching her hips continuing with the kisses and complementing with caresses she turns to Mariana and continues on her back where she stops a few instants.
Monica: There is no doubt, you are the only thing in my life. I hope this lasts until damn eternity, that no other time separates us and we face with courage strength and sincerity all the adversities that come before us on this path towards the climax of our lives.
Mariana: I just hope that our dreams come true and that everything you say comes true.
She reaches to the tips of her hair and rubs them with sudden and joyful movements.
When they get there they hug each other tightly and kiss with unbridled passion. They turn from left to right from right to left in an act of love becoming a single being as in a suspended time, which seems to have no end.
Mariana, who was on Mónica, places her sex on that of her partner and they begin to perform pelvic movements for two minutes.
The one on top leans on one side of the one below and they begin to masturbate each other.
They seem to be short of breath, but there are no intentions to stop the event. Monica literally climbs on Mariana and the pelvic movements are repeated. After two screams (one of each, but that are confused by the uniformity of the time in orgasm.)
ACT THREE
Monica's apartment bathroom. A very well furnished bathroom with luxurious finishes. The door is on the left side. Pastel yellow tiles with interlocking figurines. The sink has two doors at the bottom, a mirror on top that touches the ceiling, on the right side a toilet and to the right of this is the hydromassage tub. Three decorative frames. Colored soaps and a flowerpot.
SCENE I
Monica is still ecstatic in the tub with the phone between her shoulder and her ear.
Monica: My family? You already started. To cut a beautiful moment like the one we were remembering only for my family.
(PAUSE)
Monica: Ah! So it's not my family it's you. You are the one who returns to the same and the same and the same.
(PAUSE)
Monica: Yes I want it but I can't.
(PAUSE)
Monica picks up the phone and stops with a bang, but she continues in the bathtub spinning.
Monica: No, I definitely don't dare, but I want to. I don't know, this is so difficult and so confusing. We have been like this for ten years now, why not continue.
(PAUSE)
Monica: It's not that I didn't love you, you are the reason for my life. You are the reason for each morning, the moon of all dark nights. My inspiration. But what are they going to say. They are going to leave me in the street and then what am I going to do. Imagine I'm going to live with you and if it doesn't work out. What am I going to live on? Where will I sleep? and worse, what am I going to eat? I don't know how to do anything, what would she work on?
(PAUSE)
Monica: Well, you need to think about that.
(PAUSE)
Monica: What take the risk? You talking about risks! You don't know the risk I take every time I see you, every time you talk to me, every time we love each other. You do not know the risk that I run for the simple and simple reason that I am sitting here talking to you. Someone could overhear our conversation.
Scene ii
Roberto comes out on stage, goes to the bathroom door, sticks an ear on the door. And it touches:
Robert:Monica? What do you have love You feel good? You've been in there for a long time, you've been there since I arrived. Is something the matter?
Monica: Robert? You have arrived; no, nothing is wrong my love. Simple stomach discomforts, you know, you eat something and you don't like it, a little heavy but only that, in a moment I leave and it is happening to me, so that we can have dinner.
Monica hangs up the phone without saying a word. She puts it on the sink, covers her face, holds her hair, lets out a relieved sigh, opens the door, and walks out of the bathroom.
Robert: What do you have little girl? Hey? She worries me about her (he hugs her tightly against her chest and kisses her on the cheek).
Monica: I have already told you simple stomach upsets, but they have already passed me, seriously do not worry (Monica gives Roberto a passionate kiss on the mouth, she takes him by the hand and they begin to walk outside. scene).
Monica: Are you hungry for dinner? I better buy you a coffee.
Robert: Where always?
Monica: Why not.
Robert: Ha! By the way, I hope the answering machine hasn't broken down. Because right now that I passed by the room I was recording.
