The Plays
Adam and Evie [sample]
by Charles L. Mee
A woman in a red dress
enters, dancing solo
with a floor lamp
with a lampshade made of underpants
Our couples who have been watching each other
and watching the installation art guy install his art
now join in the dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
And Adam and Evie join the dancing.
So the singing and dancing continue
singing and dancing
singing and dancing
singing and dancing
singing and dancing
singing and dancing
singing and dancing
and occasionally throwing themselves to the ground
and occasionally throwing themselves to the ground
and occasionally throwing themselves to the ground
and occasionally throwing themselves to the ground
and occasionally throwing themselves to the ground
and occasionally throwing themselves to the ground
and occasionally throwing themselves to the ground
and a guy bends over to a woman who is on the ground
and locks lips with her
and “pulls her up” with his locked lips
and this happens again and again
guys picking up women
women picking up men
men picking up men
women picking up women
a solo guy turns front and takes a dance posture
and flexes his bicep
he flexes his bicep to the music
5 guys join him in bicep flexing dance
all in unison
then they all do a hip thrust
very macho
then turns upstage and wiggle their butts
doing the butt dance
(not SO macho)
they move through other male display dance moves
finger snapping, etc
then three women step up and do the same male display moves
a woman lifts her dress up above her head
hiding her upper body entirely
exposing herself from the waist down
and takes a long, slow exit
others all dance out
until only Adam and Evie are left behind.
