Bubbledom
(There
are two thrones on stage--one significantly larger than the other.
Three kids float onstage bouncing up and down in the breeze. They are
laughing and giggling. There is the sound of an explosion and the
kids huddle together in fear)
Narrator-(Floats
on stage and claps his/her hands)
Kids
(Bubbles, Bubbly and Bubbler)-(freeze and form a tableau)
Narrator-(Stops
and peers into the audience) Hello. How are you doing? I am the
Narrator, a thankless job if you ask me. Nobody wants to be the
narrator, because you don't get to interact with the other
characters. Why couldn't I be the King or Queen, or both? I'm not too
particular. Kids' shows tend to be gender-neutral anyway. For the
narrator, we need a strong actor, says the director. A strong actor?
Give me a break. All I have to do is stand here and...
VOICE
FROM BACKSTAGE-Float!
Narrator-(Looks
around) What?
VOICE
FROM BACKSTAGE-Don't forget to float!
Narrator-Oh
right...(Starts to move up and down) Float...(Stops) I
have about as much ability to float as a garbage truck. Now you don't
usually ask a garbage truck to float, unless you drive it
accidentally into a lake, and then you would probably say, 'Float you
stupid truck. Float!' But I believe I am wandering off topic.
VOICE
FROM BACKSTAGE-Would you hurry up? We don't have much time!
Narrator-Well,
that's true enough. Time is of the essence, as they say.
VOICE
FROM BACKSTAGE-You're not floating!
Narrator-(Drifts
up and down)
Bubbles-And
talk faster. We can't stay still, forever.
Bubbly-Yes,
stop milking the moment.
Narrator-Me?
Milking the moment? No! But now that I do have the stage to myself,
there are a few issues I would like to bring up. (Pulls out a
sheet of paper)
(Another
explosion)
VOICE
FROM BACKSTAGE-Hurry up! We don't have much time!
Narrator-(Looks
back and then again at the audience, sighs and stuffs the sheet of
paper back in his pocket) Well, I guess I must wait til after the
show to air my grievances. So...
VOICE
FROM BACKSTAGE-And float!
Narrator-I'm
floating, I'm floating. (Drifts up and down) Look at me float.
(Stops floating) This is a very short-lived monarchy known as
a Bubbledom. Apparently Microsoft Office has never heard of a
bubbledom because they indicate it as a spelling mistake, but it is
indeed a bubbledom, a royal bubbledom, and my job is to guide you,
the audience, through the short-lived life span of a certain
monarchy; on the bubble so to speak. In case you have never been a
kid and did not know, bubbles exist only for a precious few seconds.
But in that microcosm of time, whole civilizations are created and
destroyed. And being as we are all bubbles, we float...See. (Does
so) The breeze takes us wherever, until that dreadful moment,
(Another explosion) when we pop! We call it spontaneous
combustion. In this tiny microcosm of time, we live a lifetime, with
always the fear of...
(Another
explosion)
The
big pop!
Bubbles-What was that?
Bubbly-I don't know. But I don't like it. Let's go and ask Mama and Papa.
(A Royal Flourish is sounded and the King and Queen enter floating)
Narrator-Meanwhile...
Queen-Thank you, very much. I think I can take it from here. Meanwhile the Queen...Will you hurry up?
King-Sorry, my dear. (Carrying an armload of papers, which he drops, accidentally, on the floor) I've just got the reports from our scientists. (He stops, picks up the papers, and more fall to the floor)
Queen-Good lord! (She parks herself on the large throne, looking quite pleased with herself)
King-(Sits meekly on the smaller throne) My dear, if you don't mind, I would like you to take a look at these reports.
Queen-Oh, you insufficiently weak, little man.
King-I wish you wouldn't keep saying that.
