ACT 3, Scene 10 "The Consummation"
Location: CASTLE OF SEVEN WOES, CARCOSA, by the GREAT LAKE of HALI
Setting: CASSILDA and THE HOODED FIGURE have slipped away from the MASQUERADE BALL where they continue their flirtation. They are now in an opulent lounge filled with the smoke of the black lotus. Laughter and music can be heard coming from outside the closed door. As can some barely audible incomprehensible whispering. The AUDIENCE will begin to smell rot and burnt flesh.
Characters: CASSILDA (F), HOODED FIGURE (M), who is later incarnated as THE KING IN YELLOW (M).
THE KING IN YELLOW: Cassilda, I must ask thee for a great honor.
CASSILDA: [weeping] (very frightened) Ye...yes..my lord?
THE KING IN YELLOW: Take me as your husband. Your dowry will be your fair form. You will serve both as bride and wedding feast. We shall become one and abide together in the Outer Dark.
This is very experimental, my first collab, and probably would require a lot of work from all parties involved to actually perform. I had a lot of fun writing and revising it, and I've always loved the concept, so I decided to share it. If you read it and enjoy it, or it inspires you to write/perform something similar, mission accomplished.
This is a fantasy by adults, for adults, and abouft adults.
