Play: Hell

Post  Alex T. on Tue Dec 02, 2008 6:04 pm

Hell.

(Man 1 and Man 2 are hanging out. Man 1 is playing with a yoyo while Man 2 is looking at Hell, standing in front of a door to the entrance to HELL, wearing a spiffy shirt. The entrance is very mundane and gives no clue on what is on the inside except for a sign that says HELL has been hung on the door. Hell is very cool, with a proud smugness about him.)

Man 1: Hey, what’s up with this guy over here?

Man 2: Who?

Man 1: That dude over there. The one in front of the door.

Man 2: Oh yeah, I dunno.

Man 1: Hell. What do you think that means?

Man 2: It’s the land of eternal suffering. Dwelling of Satan, Lord of Darkness. The ultimate punishment for those who’ve led a wicked life. The domain of unrest. The—

Man 1: Yeah, no, I mean that place over there.

Man 2: Oh, I dunno. Hell?

Man 1: What?

Man 2: What what?

Man 1: You’re telling me that Hell is through that doorway?

Man 2: Well, I mean, that’s what the sign on the door says.

Man 1: Okay, okay… So where is the river Styxx?

Man 2: Behind the door?

Man 1: Comeon.

Man 2: I don’t know, I don’t really believe in it I guess.

Man 1: Well, who is that guy?

Man 2: I don’t know. He’s got a cool shirt.

Man 1: I’m gonna ask him.

Man 2: Dude.

Man 1: What?

Man 2: He’s in front of Hell!

Man 1: We don’t know if that’s really Hell. You stay here, you big pansy, I’ll be right back.

(Man 1 crosses to Hell.)

Man 1: Hey.

Hell: Hey.

Man 1: So, whatsup?

Hell: Not much, man. Not much.

Man 1: So…what’s up with the door?

Hell: Oh yeah, I work here.

Man 1: What is it?

Hell: Oh man, it’s the doorway into a parallel subspace. It’s totally the place to be for neveau artist types. The poor, the repressed, the imaginative…It is for those ready for a new human experience.

Man 1: What does that mean? (He gets no answer.) So, can I go in?

Hell: I don’t know, it’s got an 18 to 22 month wait.

Man 1: Oh man…

Hell: Well, if you’re one of our patrons…

Man 1: What?

Hell: Well, there’s a lot of red tape in HELL. It might be hard to get in, but if you’re one of our valued supporters, the wait won’t be nearly as long, plus you get a spiffy shirt.

Man 1: Really? How much?

Hell: Well, we have a few different plans. You could spend an initial 50 bucks and then 10 dollars each following month to stay a valued member of the HELL team. Or, you could go for our 100 dollar plan and be a member for life. I’d totally go for that.

Man 1: Done!

(Man 1 pays Hell. Hell pockets the money and then hands Man 1 a spiffy shirt.)

Hell: Thanks, man. I’ll let you know when there’s an opening. Enjoy the membership.

Man 1: Yeah thanks!

(Crosses back to Man 2.)

Man 2: So, how’d it go?

Man 1: I’m a member now!

Man 2: What’s that mean?

Man 1: I dunno. The guy wasn’t too clear.

Man 2: Well, was it worth it?

Man 1: I don’t know. I haven’t gotten to go in yet.

Man 2: Oh.

Man 1: I got this shirt though.

Man 2: Cool. You got my money I leant you for burgers last night.

Man 1: Oh, crap. No.

Man 2: Well thanks.

(Both Exit.)
