Every Good Boy Deserves Favor And Professional Foul (1978) - Plot & Excerpts
1. The CELL needs two beds. 2. The OFFICE needs a table and two chairs. 3. The SCHOOL needs a school desk. These areas can be as small as possible but each has to be approachable from each of the others, and the lighting on each ought to be at least partly controllable independently of the other two and of the orchestra itself, which needless to say occupies the platform. The CELL is occupied by two men, ALEXANDER amd IVANOV. ALEXANDER is a political prisoner and IVANOV is a genuine mental patient. It will become clear in performance, but may well be stated now, that the orchestra for part of the time exists in the imagination of IVANOV. IVANOV has with him an orchestral triangle. The OFFICE is empty. In the SCHOOL the TEACHER stands, and SACHA sits at the desk. CELL The OFFICE and SCHOOL are not ‘lit’. In the CELL, ALEXANDER and IVANOV sit on their respective beds. The orchestra tunes-up. The tuning-up continues normally but after a minute or two the musicians lapse into miming the tuning-up.
