In darkness:
I
Don’t do it.
J
Fuck off.
I
You’ll regret it.
J
Fuck off.
I
No, really. It won’t fix anything.
J
I know, but it’ll distract me.
I
Not for long. And you’ll hate yourself after.
J
Yeah. Still. I want to.
I
Don’t.
J
Fuck off.
Lights up to reveal only J onstage. J then proceeds to do one of any number of acts: light a cigarette, shoot up, drink alcohol, invite someone over for sex, sniff coke, cut themselves, etc. The actor should pick the thing that is most threatening to him/her.
But of course, none of these acts are real. They are merely . . . staged.
