Two On Stage Acting Like Three Year Olds


Everything was on the fast track for celebrity Churchill despite knowing things were going down due to the theatrical book needing a challenging conflict. Taking a hard look at his contract allowance that he had the option to claim from staged investments the best actor started to prepare for a duel with the antagonist.

Suddenly, on cue an innocent maiden having a smooth brow entered the picture, “Imogene Malvina,” the Irish-Scottish accent complemented the physical appearance deciding to share the spotlight.

“Do you have a second?” the new player inquired.

Churchill confronted the issue, “for what?”

“I want to put you in your place, Churchill,” she started, “remember that park on the Nile?”

Clearly hearing the question Churchill took a moment showing genuine interest after reflecting on the idiomatic voice from the past.

“Just like right now I was a maiden back then,” the character haunted the improv written scripted dialogue, “I had the special weight you were looking for,”

“Stop right there,” Churchill raised his finger, “Olga Isabel you were a winner I know, an athletic champion on the field of dreams.”

“Churchill,” Olga interrupted, “you were inventing stories about the place I was competing, and the fantasy was not funny.”

“My observation reports were misread,” Churchill confessed, “and when your sporting spectacle show was over, I left.”

Like a trap door opened the two were thrown into darkness only to see an invisible audience sitting in velvet chairs.

“There is no one out there,” Olga and Churchill both said in unison,

“So, Captain,” Olga sarcastically asked Churchill using an honest tone, “where do we go from here?”

“I do not know,” the stereotypical hero answered, “I have not seen any more pages and the writers seemed to have taken a tea break.”
