The Wall

by Sullyhogs1

A script for a stage adaptation of Pink Floyd's album/rock opera I'm writing. The story is about a burnt-out rock star who builds an emotional and psychological wall between himself and society based off of the traumatic experiences in his past. I own some character names, some new dialogue, and the staging. The rest goes to Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters. Read & review, please!

Act II – Scene 4

Vera

Setting – Area unknown, 1944.

(The stage is dark, and the curtains close. We still hear TV sounds when the music starts. Enter JONATHAN in front of the curtains. He paces and addresses the audience. A lone spotlight shines on him.)

JONATHAN:

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?

Remember how she said that we would meet again,

Some sunny day?

(JONATHAN walks down into the aisles, with the spotlight still on him. He walks slowly towards the back exit doors.)

Vera! Vera! What has become of you?

(Before leaving, JONATHAN turns back towards the audience.)

Does anybody else here feel the way I do?

(Exit JONATHAN.)
