writer on a tahle and a Chair. One of the Seniors sits and when he is ready to type . . Doctor: All right, go ont Lady Max: tshe enters in Cap and Nightgown. She is making motions as if she were washing her hands., Blood on the saddle . . . Blood on the ground and a great big, puddle of blood all around . . . tShe walks toward the right side of the stage. She stops as a Senior yells., Doctor: Repeat that last phrase, Lady. Lady Max: Blood on the saddle, etc. tThe Typist takes out the paper and hands it to the Doctor who focusses his glasses on it. The other Senior pushes out the Typewriter. The Typist takes the Chair and leaves the stage, right. The Doctor follows slowly with the Porter trying to read over his shoulder. A Senior sitting in the audience rushes up on the stage. He is wear- ing a Hoppy, hiacic, how tie, glasses and carries a copy of Macbeth which he has opened., Senior: This has gone too far. That isn,t the way it is here. tAt the moment he finishes heref, two burly Seniors in Iciits enter stage, right and carry him hodily off the stage, left. The Porter crosses, right to left with a sign reading: One Half Hour Later. The Porter is visihiy inehriated. He weaves as he crosses the stage., Max: fEntering, he sits at the table with a hook entitled, Macbeth. He is trying to read. He closes the hook and walks down center., Ahh . . . this is no fun . . . Nothing is going right. I try to do a good joh on Bingo and his kid, Fleance, hut the Quiz Kid messes it up. And Macduff heat it out of town heiore I could get him. Gee, I wonder why that old hag said Macduii was mightier than me . . . This is the last scene so I hetter find out soon or it will he too late. tHe sits down dejectedly., And there's hardly anyhody else left to Lennox: tHe enters left., Max, I found out this morning that you cheated me at tiddly-winks yesterday. My wife says she saw you. I have come to avenge my honor. tHe hrandishes a feather duster., Max: Go away. You hother me. Lennox: Max, en guardet tHe charges and strikes a pose., Max: tHe stands erect and inhaies deeply then blows at Lennox who immediately expires. Max steps over the hody and walks down front., It must have been the garlic I had for breakfast. fThe Porter enters left. He hears a sign which reads The End hut he doesn,t turn his hack to the audience yet so they don't know the play is almost over. Did we hear someone say, Thank Goodness!
