Find Me – Olwen Wymark

There, there, darling. It’s not the end of the world. Jean There’ll be another swimming-gala next year. You’ll be able to swim in that one. Mark (not meaning to be unkind) You’re stupid, Verity. It was your own fault. There’s no point blaming anybody. Jean Don’t tease her, Mark. Edward You’ll have forgotten about it by morning. Mark Well, say something why don’t you. They move toward her, Jean and Edward with their arms outstretched Verity (throwing out her arms to stop them.

Ferociously) Don’t touch me! Verity back« away from them and then rushes off, shouting Don’t touch me! Leave me alone. Don’t touch me! No! No! No! Neetz! Neetz! Neetz! Black-out. In the darkness we hear banging and thumping and Verity’s voice howling, growling and screaminz out incoherent words. The voices of Edward, Mark and Jean come from different places on the stage Jean Verity, where are you?

What are you doing? Oh Edward, Edward! She’s torn up all my photographs and my letters. Look, look—she’s torn up everything. Oh God, Edward, stop her. What’s she doing? Edward I can’t. She’s locked herself in the bathroom. There is a sound of pounding on a door Verity, come out! Come out! There is the sound of rushing water as Verity goes on shouting Mark Dad, there’s water coming out from under the door.

She’s flooding the bathroom. She’!l flood the whole house. Edward Veritv, come out! Stop that! Come out of there! Jean (crying) Oh my God, my God, my God. Mark Stop her. Dad. I’m afraid. Verity (in a huge voice) L.ook out! Get out of my way! The Lights come up on Verity IV all alone on the stage. She is wearing a bizarre collection of clothes, and a wig with half the hair cut off it. She has make-up all over her face like a wild mask of warpaint Look out!

Can’t you see? I’m the bomb! I’m the atom bomb! Don’t touch me. Don’t come near me!
