DramaPRE-SHOW: ANIMAL KINGDOM
PROJECTION: A video made up of montages of the deep sea, various weird fish and pistol shrimp is projected onto an empty stage while the audience enters. The video is a little scruffy and homemade. The crackling sounds of pistol shrimp clicking underwater.
1: | The pistol shrimp is a species of crustacean that only grows to about three to five centimetres long, but competes with sperm whales for noisiest animal in the ocean. Colonies of pistol shrimp generate so much background noise that they misdirect military and scientific sonar used to detect underwater objects. |
3: | One of their claws, a snapper over half the size of its body, makes this noise. |
1: | When this snapper slams shut, it creates a cavitation bubbleâ a literal cavity, a void, a millisecond of nothingness, a vacuum suspended in the middle of the oceanâthat explodes when the rest of the ocean rushes back to fill that rip. |
2: | I wonder what itâs like in that bubble. In that absolute quiet, in the silence of a million waves, billions of networks of oceanic activity. Imagine that peace. It stretches on forever, a silence where anything could happen. I could be anyone. Do anything. I could hide in that silence. I could become something in that silence. I could weaponise myself, kill a king. I could make myself the greatest, most invisible danger of the big blue sea wrapped in a tiny, tiny, shrimp body. And then the moment passes, and the great crushing weight of the ocean whooshes back in. |
SCENE: TELL-ALL 1
2: | Hi. Sorry, Iâve been really busy. Listen, I have to run soon butâ No, everythingâs fine. Itâs six-thirty, daylight savings, two hours, yeah. Yeah, Iâve eaten.

Yeah, itâs just about the trip, Iâ Yeah, itâs just been really I think I have to, I wonât be able to, I canât quite get time off, so I Yeah, I donât know when I can Sorry Listen, I actually have to go butâ Yeah yeah yeah. Weâll talk soon. Sorry. Again. Bye, love you. Bye. |
SCENE: TRAGEDY PORN
1: | Itâs a bird |
3: | Itâs Superman |
2: | Itâs a plane, fuckhead |
3: | There are people |
1: | The people are burning the plane |
3: | My people are burning because of the plane |
1: | I couldâve been on that plane |
3: | I wish Iâd been on that plane |
