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 I – Scene 12

Another Brick in the Wall Pt. III

(Sounds of windows breaking are heard. PINK tries to face the shadow creature but still tries to keep some distance. The creature flinches.)

PINK:

I don't need no arms around me!

And I don't need no drugs to calm me!

I have seen writing on the wall.

(The creature is more afraid of PINK now. It begins to slowly shrink, as if the wall itself is sucking it in.)

Don't think I'll need anything at all.

(The creature is now much smaller.)

No! Don't think I'll need anything at all.

(Exit PINK. The creature has completely disappeared. The final bricks are beginning to be put in place.)

(Offstage)

All in all, it was just a brick in the wall.

All in all, you were all just bricks in the wall!

(The stage lights slowly dim. There is only one brick left – one in the exact middle of the wall.)
