The Starry Night
by A. Gautam
CHARACTERS:
SAMUEL, A middle-aged professor who looks like he has been teaching for centuries
NAGEN, A well-dressed boy who looks nervous and lost
VENUS, An antsy-looking girl dressed in a baseball cap and a torn shirt that looks new
RITCHIE, A dreamy looking young boy with ruffled hair
Stage Set: The outside of a museum. Samuel is leaning on a tree. The students are seated on the grass.
SAMUEL: Well, what was Van Gogh trying to say, really?
VENUS: I thought this was supposed to be a fun trip. You are—like—teaching us outside of class. What's up with that?
NAGEN: If I may, which painting were you referring to, sir?
SAMUEL: Starry Night. The waves in the sky. Imagination and reality. Darn, I am tired as the starry night.
VENUS: There he goes again, into his own little world. Do any of you know when the bus is supposed to pick us up?
NAGEN: I believe it is supposed to come at five. May I ask you a question, miss?
VENUS: Call me Ven. Waiting for the bus will be as fun as the dentist pulling my teeth out.
NAGEN: Ok, Ven. Why didn't the other students come with us?
VENUS: It was optional, dude!
RITCHIE: Nobody cares about art anymore. (to Nagen) Why did you come?
NAGEN: I need to keep busy after school. That is when, Richard, I get the most homesick.
RITCHIE: Call me Ritchie. Where is home for you?
SAMUEL: Who knows really what home is? Why can't people feel at home in art? Why the rush to belong? It does not make a difference if it is a stroke on the canvas or the work of clouds in the sky. To imagine is more important. To imagine the possibilities of the meaning is more beautiful. To find a home in the whole world is possible.
VENUS: Here comes the bus!
NAGEN: It's ————
(All rush to the bus.)
VENUS: Call me Ven. Waiting for the bus will be as fun as the dentist pulling my teeth out.
