Act One
Board meeting. COLM, CATHERINE, RICHARD, CASTILE, NADINE, GAVIN, MARTIN, JIMMY, and IAN, COLM at the head of the table.
COLM: âŠabsolute panic, terror, sweating, drenched, I was drenched in my own sweat, all over my brow, my armpits, my chest covered, my groin, the backs of my knees and my upper lip, and I was screaming, although I wasnât screaming. I was screaming without screaming, my mouth was open and screaming but my throat was incapable of unclenching long enough for the air to sufficiently pass through my vocal chords and produce the required sound to scream, and so I was screaming without making a scream.
And I knew instantly that I was no longer dreaming. The dream was over, I knew that, the horror was gone but the fear still gripped my heart like a fist and I thought âIâm going to die.â I knew I wasnât going to die, I was safe, I knew that, but I thought âIâm going to die.â And hereâs the thing, the thing is, hereâs the thing, the thing was that I welcomed that thought. But I was horrified of it at the same time because I thought if I die, if I die, you see, who am I? Who have I been? Who have I been and what have I done?
Beat.
And I went down stairs. And I went into the study and I poured a whisky into a cut crystal glass, a good whisky, a very good whisky. And I took it into the downstairs bathroom, and I sat on the toilet, in my pyjamas, like it was a dining room chair, the smell of whisky engulfing me, surrounding me.
And I stared at myself in the mirror. I stared at this face and I thought âwhoâs that?â I mean it was me, I knew it was me, I wasnât insane or panicking I knew who it was, but I just didnât have a clue who it was.
Pause.
CASTILE: And⊠And what was the dream?
COLM: I dreamt that I was on a beach collecting shells.
CASTILE: Shells?
COLM: The most beautiful shells. Incredible. Beautiful. Iridescent. And there were hundreds of them, all different, all beautiful. And it gave me such joy. It gave me such a⊠joy, and peace, to collect these incredible shells. And it was just before dawn. And there was this thing on my belly, like, like a spot, a blackhead but large, and I squeezed it, like you would squeeze a blackhead and it squeezed out, but it was huge and it just kept coming, meters and meters of this, thick as your finger, it just kept on coming until there was a huge pile of it there on the floor. And it stank. And I looked at all my beautiful shells. And they were shit. They were just shit. They were shit shells. They were rubbish, just⊠shells, dirty, shit, dead things, just shit shells, just shit.
Silence.
CASTILE: Colm?
COLM: Richard. Catherine.
They step forward.
I have, in my life, done many bad things. But I have had to do bad things to make good things happen. When I took control of this company, thirty years ago, it was a third rate utilities provider. So I took it and I shaped it and I broke things to make things. I made you. All of you. I made you into beasts.
Thirty years on we now own subsidiaries across a vast range of fields; manufacturing, transport, security, petrochemical research. And it occurs to me now that perhaps we have fought enough. That perhaps growth has its limits.
Pause. They wait, not knowing if heâs finished.
There has been disagreement between you two, and I have fanned those flames like a father forcing children to fight. But do we make things that can only destroy, ravenous engines of wealth that can only move in one direction? I believe it i...
