Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Amateurs: A Burlesque in One Act Scene. - The library in Nathaniel Mossborough´s house. A conventional stase library - well-worn stock scenery of the green and gold variety. Doors R. and L., and a wider doorway at the back, hung with portières - any sufficiently inharmonious color will do. Assorted furniture placed about the room, including a table at the right, on which is a reading lamp fed by a cord running plainly visible to a floor plug somewhere off stage. (Before the curtain rises a bell rings. Silence a moment, then it is repeated. Finally the stage manager, who plays Oliver Douglass, peers from behind the curtain and calls to the orchestra leader in an audible whisper.) Oliver. Ready for the overture. Didn´t you hear the bell? (The orchestra finishes the overture and relapses into silence. Oliver´s head appears again.) Give ´em another. We ain´t quite ready. Jimmy ain´t made up yet. (He withdraws and the orchestra starts again on its overture. Before it is finished the footlights flash on and the curtain rises about four feet and sticks. Oliver heard off.) Come on, you, pull up that curtain! The Voice of a Stage Hand. I can´t; it´s stuck! (After a few jerks the curtain rises. Jenkins is seated by the table smoking a cigarette and reading the paper. The orchestra continues its overture. Jenkins makes two or three ineffectual attempts to be heard, begins to look worried, tries to signal the leader, and finally looks off stage appealingly. Oliver appears again and catches the conductor´s eye.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
