SHOULD I HAVE KEPT HIM?
OR LET HIM GO?
THERE WERE SIGNS THAT HE WILL BE TROUBLE
WHAT DID I DO?
KEPT HIM...
RESULT...
DISASTER...
CAN'T DESCRIBE THE TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE.
LET IT GO...
EASY SAID THEN DONE...

HUGE LOSS?
HOPE NOT
GO WITH YOUR INSTINCTS NEXT TIME
LISTEN TO YOUR SENSES
TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS
THE PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES
NO ONE GOOD IS AVAILABLE
THOSE ARE THE SIGNS
BUT NOW TRY TO LET IT GO...
I SHALL TRY...

WE DON'T HAVE STRONG SENSE OF PROPORTIONS

AND OTHER PEOPLE'S EYES ONLY.
AND OTHER PEOPLE'S EYES SEE US AS OUTSIDERS, AS FOREIGNERS,
IMMIGRANTS FROM POOR COUNTRIES WHO MUST BE INFERIOR--TO
BE TAMED AND TREATED AS SUBSERVIENT.
THE SADDEST THING IS THAT WE NEVER EVER WANT TO SEE
OURSELVES THAT WAY BUT WHEN WE CATCH OURSELVES WITH THAT VISION
WE WANT TO RUN AWAY FROM OURSELVES AND FROM OTHERS AND
EVENTUALLY BECOME, "OUTSIDERS" EVEN TO OURSELVES.
THEY WANTED US TO BE THAT WAY.
THEN WE ISOLATE OURSELVES AND WASTE ALL THAT CREATIVE ENERGY FIGHTING
THE...
THE FIGHT WITH OURSELVES NOT TO FEEL WHAT WE ARE MADE TO FEEL,
WHAT WE ARE FORCED TO FEEL.
UNDOING WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO US IS MONUMENTAL EFFORT
AND WE ARE EXHAUSTED TO GO OUT AND FIGHT AND TRY TO TAKE
THIS FALSE, ASSUMED TRAGIC REALITY OUT OF OUR LIVES.

F**KED IT UP EVERY NIGHT
MESSED IT ALL UP
NOTHING I COULD DO TO SET IT RIGHT
NOTHING
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
WHAT IT IS THAT KARIMA COULD HAVE DONE?
SO IT FELT LIKE THAT IT SUCCEEDED IN
NOT F**KING ME UP
SO WHY SET IT RIGHT?
INSTEAD...
THE F&&KER'S ATTITUDE WAS
SO WHAT?
"IT'S FUN"
WAS THE ATTITUDE OF THE F&&KER
HE HAD MUCH MORE FUN TO F&&K IT ALL UP EVERY NIGHT
FOR HIM IT WAS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT EVERY NIGHT
FOR FLIRTATIONS
NEVER TO SWEAT TO DO THE RIGHT THING
WHICH WAS REQUIRED IN THAT SPACE
THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH HE ENTERED THE SPACE
OR WAS ALLOWED TO ENTER THAT SPACE
BECAME THE LEAST IMPORTANT FOR HIM
IT WAS JUST A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM
TO ENTER THAT SPACE AND HAVE LECHEROUS ACTIVITY
AND CONTINUED TO F&UCK UP THE REAL REASON
WHY HE WAS ALLOWED IN THAT SPACE TO BEGIN WITH...
F&7KING IT UP NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
AND WHY NOT?
THAT WAS THE POWER THE BASTARD ASSUMED
TO FLIRT
TO HAVE A DATE
AS IF HE WAS COMING TO A BAR
OR TO A SOCIAL CLUB
OR TO A DATING SIGHT
OR A BROTHEL...
BUT THE REAL PLAY WAS F**KED UP
AND HE F**KED IT UP WITH REAL GLEE
AND THAT WAS THE MOST DISGUSTING....
THE MOST DISGUSTING PART OF
THE BASTARD ACTOR......
HIS LECHEROUS, VULGAR. COULDN'T CARE-SADISTIC ATTITUDE
TOWARDS THE BOSS WHO ALLOWED HIM IN TO DELIVER
AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FUNCTION WHICH HE NEVER DELIVERED...
BUT KEPT HIS LECHEROUS BEHAVIOR INTACT THROUGHOUT...
IT MAKES ME FEEL THROWING UP
BECAUSE HE WAS NEVER FIRED.....

THERAPY
-------------
LISTEN,
YOU HAVE TO GET OVER IT
YOU ARE HURTING YOURSELF
NO ONE ELSE BUT YOURSELF
YOU ARE ACTUALLY HURTING YOUR CREATIVITY,
YOUR ENERGY, YOUR SPIRIT, YOUR HOPE,
THUS YOUR FUTURE PROSPECTS.
FUTURE EXISTS TILL YOU DIE...
YOU ARE NOT DEAD YET...
THANK GOD.
SO HAVE SOME HOPE
DO NOT CLING TO THE NEGATIVE
LET IT GO
LET IT GO
LET IT GO.
YOU ALWAYS DO SOMETHING DESTRUCTIVE TO YOURSELF
YOU PUT ACTORS IN YOUR SHOWS WHO CAN NOT ACT
AND WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN YOUR SHOWS
YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT THEY CAN NOT ACT.
SO WHY DO YOU DO THAT?
DESTRUCTIVE ACT TO BEGIN WITH...
THE RESULT OF A DESTRUCTIVE ACT IS ALWAYS DESTRUCTION
THEN YOU SURPRISE YOURSELF
"OH1 THEY CAN'T ACT, THEY ARE AMATEUR"
I GUESS YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT ALREADY
RIGHT?
RIGHT.
AND THEN YOU CONSTANTLY AGGRESS YOUR SELF
AND WASTE TONS OF ENERGY ON THEIR BAD ACTING.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
THERAPY DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S WORKING FOR YOU
WHEN YOU HIRED THEM YOU KNEW IT
YOU KNEW THAT THEY ARE NOT ACTORS
YOU KNEW THAT
WHY DID YOU HIRE THEM?
WHY DID YOU PUT THOSE ASSHOLES IN YOUR SHOW?
BECAUSE...
BECAUSE WHAT?
BECAUSE THERE ARE NO GREAT ACTORS AVAILABLE IN THIS THEATER
WHY DIDN'T YOU FIND THEM FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE?
BECAUSE MOST OF THE TRAINED ACTORS DO NOT WORK FOR FREE
SO PAY THEM
WHAT?
PAY THEM
I CAN'T PAY THEM
NO ONE PAYS ME
TO PAY THEM
CAN'T AFFORD IT
SO, WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
THE ANSWER IS TO FIND TRAINED ACTORS,
PAY THEM
AND THEY WON'T ABUSE THE PROCESS
BUT THOSE ACTORS WORK IN MORE ESTABLISHED VENUES
SO THIS ONE IS NOT THE MOST ESTABLISHED VENUE?
NOT REALLY---
BUT IT'S NOT A BAD VENUE
BETTER THAN MANY OTHERS
VERY GOOD FOR CREATIVITY
AND FREEDOM TO EXPERIMENT
SO THATS A PLUS...
BUT I WISH I HAD REALLY TRAINED ACTORS
BUT YOU NEVER TRIED TO GET THEM, DID YOU?
NOT REALLY...
I JUST ASSUMED THAT THOSE ACTORS WON'T WORK HERE
OR MAYBE NOT WORK WITH YOU...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU ASSUMED THAT REALLY TRAINED ACTORS WON'T WORK WITH YOU?
I DIDN'T KNOW...MAYBE?
WHY?
(SILENCE)
WHY?
MAYBE I DON'T THINK THAT I AM ESTABLISHED ENOUGH
SO, YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED THE FACT IN YOUR OWN HEAD
THAT YOU ARE NOT ESTABLISHED AND NO ONE GOOD ENOUGH
WILL WORK WITH YOU...
I DON'T KNOW....
REALLY, IT'S JUST DIFFICULT TO GET GREAT ACTORS WHEN THEATER DOESN'T PAY
THEM.
SO, YOU HAVE STTLED YOUR HEART ON GETTING ORDINARY OR EVEN
AMATEUR ACTORS...
WHATEVER I CAN GET..
YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT YOU DESERVE BAD ACTORS?
NO, I CAN'T GET GOOD ACTORS
THEN YOUR CHOICE IS TO WORK WITH BAD ACTORS?
NO, T'S NOT MY CHOICE, IT'S NECESSITY.
WHY HAVE YOU CREATED THIS DIFFICULT NECESSITY FOR YOURSELF?
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
YOU CAN STOP DOING YOUR PLAYS
BUT I NEED TO GET MY WORK DONE...
BUT WHY IN SUCH A BAD AND POOR WAY?
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IS IT THAT YOIU DON'T KNOW?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO...
YOU DON'T HAVE MANY CHOICES, DO YOU?
NO, I DON'T
BUT YOU CAN MAKE ONE OF THE CHOICES, EITHER DON'T DO THE PLAYS
OR DO THEM AND GET BETTER ACTORS
FROM WHERE?
IF YOU HAD MORE CONFIDENCE IN YOU, YOU WILL GET ACTORS WHO
HAVE BEEN ON STAGE BEFORE INSTEAD OF GETTING THE ACTORS WHO
HAVE NEVER BEEN UNDER THE LIGHTS. IF YOU HAD MORE CONFIDENCE
IN YOURSELF AGOOD ACTORS WILL BE LINING UP EVEN TO WORK FOR NO MONEY.
IT'S YOU WHO HAS LOW SELF ESTEEM AND BECAUSE OF THAT YOU ARE
DESPERATE TO GET ANY TOM, DICK AND HARRY AND PUT THEM IN TO FILL THE
ROLES FOR WHICH THEY ARE LEAST EQUIPPED. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING
YOURSELF. DO NOT FILL THE ROLES. GET REAL ACTORS, NO MATTER HOW,
THE ACTORS WHO HAVE REAL ABILITY TO DELIVER YOUR MATERIAL OR
DO NOT DO THE PLAYS.
DO ONE PERSON SHOWS
TRAVEL WITH THE SHOWS
MAKE SOME MONEY
HAVE LESS HEARTACHE
KEEP WRITING THE PLAYS WITH OTHER CHARACTERS THOUGH
KEEPPOLISHING THEM
THEN SUBMIT TO OTHER PROFESSIONAL THEATERS
REGIONAL THEATERS
SEND THEM TO BRITISH THEATERS
LONDON WILL LOVE YOUR WORK...
SEND THEM THE UN-PRODUCED PLAYS
YOU HAVE SOME. DON'T YOU?
YES.....
WHICH ONES?
"LOVE IS A TRAMP"
"SORROW AT THE TIME OF ISIS."
"THEATER OF WORDS."
THAT'S THE ANSWER
THE MEAN TIME CHANGE SOME OF YOUR BAD HABITS
EXCERCISE
ONE HOUR WALK EVERY DAY
STAIONARY BICYCLE
LOSE WEIGHT
AND WRITEA HILARIOUSLY FUNNY ONE WOMAN PLAY
AND TRAVEL WITH IT........

A SHORT PLAY
CHARACTERS:
MONA
NOOR
TWO FRIENDS LIVING AT THE TIME OF CORONA VIRUS
MONA:
I HATE PEOPLE
NOOR:
WHY?
MONA:
THE SPITEFUL, IRONIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE WORLD AND THE PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD. THAT'S THE IMPULSE OF ALL THE WEALTHY, POWERFUL PEOPLE TOWARDS
THE POOR, POWERLESS HUMAN BEINGS WHO ARE BEING TREATED WORSE THAN
ANIMALS. TOTALLY SPITEFUL. I HATE PEOPLE. I WANT NOTHING WITH THEM.
I NEVER WANT TO DEAL WITH THEM.
NOOR:
THIS KIND OF SITUATION HAS NEVER CHANGED IN THE WORLD.
IT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE DAYS OF ADAM AND EVE. NOTHING IS GOING TO
CHANGE. WHY MUST YOU TAKE IT TO HEART? WHY MUST YOU GIVE YOUR SELF
SO MUCH HEARTACHE? DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE IN LIFE.
MONA:
MY HATRED TOWARDS THEM IS CONSTRUCTIVE.
NOOR:
BUT NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE BY YOU HATING THEM. ONLY SUFFERING
WILL COME TO YOU. YOU How are you?VE TO ACCEPT IT.
MONA:
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE SAYING THIS. WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OTHER
PEOPLE'S SUFFERING? I THOUGHT YOU HAD SOME SOCIAL CONSCIOUS.
NOR:
I DO. I SUFFERED FOR YEARS BUT NOTHING CHANGED. THE WORLD IS EVIL
WE KNOW THAT.
MONA:
SO THE WORLD IS EVIL AND WE SHOULD JUST DANCE? SING ANTHEMS OF JOY AND
SUCCESS AND BE MERRY?
NOOR:
NOT EXACTLY LIKE THAT. WE HAVE TO HELP, WE HAVE TO TRY OUR BEST TO FEEL
FOR THE DOWNTRODDEN TO SURVIVE .BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY POOR AND
HUNGRY PEOPLE CREATED BY THE RICH AND POWERFUL.THEY CREATE HUNGER
AND HUNGRY HERDS BECAUSE OF THE NECESSITY FOR THEM TO REMAIN ALWAYS
FILTHY RICH AND THUS POWERFUL
WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM, SOMEONE HAS TO. IF THEY ARE NOT BEING
TAKEN CARED FOR, THERE WILL BE DISEASES AND PLAGUES AND AFTER EFFECTS
OF THE STOLEN WEALTH AND SOME ONE UP THERE IS WATCHING, SOME ONE WHO
HAS OWN SECRETS AND WHO IS PATIENT AND HAD BEEN FOR CENTURIES BUT IS
NOW PISSED AT THE ZALAM, (CRUEL) LEADERS OF THE WORLD WHO HAVE
BROUGHT THE REST OF HUMANITY TO THIS PATHETIC LEVEL AND NEEDS TO BE
TAUGHT A LESSON AND THIS INVISIBLE ENEMY OF ALL HUMANITY IS THE SIGN, IS
THE SYMBOL, IS THE LESSON AND IF WE WHO DARE CALL OUR SELVES HUMAN AND
EQUAL AND JUST (WHAT A LAUGH) DO NOT LEARN NOW AT THE TIME OF THIS
OMINOUS CRISIS THEN IT'S QYIAMAT (END OF THE WORLD, THE APPOCLYPSE)
SOME ONE HAS TO BRING THE ELEMENT OF SPIRITUALITY INTO SOLVING THIS
TRAGEDY BESIDE SCIENCE , RESEARCH AND THE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE.
FAITH, JUSTIC, HUMANITY, SPIRIT, KINDNESS, EMPATHY, COMPASSION HAS TO COME
INTO THE HEALING PROCESS.
WE ALSO NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES, OUR HEALTH, OUR PRODUCTIVITY,
OUR ENERGIES MUST NOT BE SPENT ON HATE. WE NEED TO PRAY.
ESPECIALLY NOW, AT THE TIME OF DISEASE, THIS MONSTER, THIS INVISIBLE ENEMY
WHICH IS KILLING THOUSANDS...
MONA:
YES, YES, YES, THAT'S WHY I HATE THE SELFISH, THE POWERFUL, THE GREEDY, THE
FILTHY RICH. THEY WILL SURVIVE THIS VIRUS. THEY SURVIVE ALL VIRUSES, THEY
SURVIVE THE PLAGUES BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE BECAUSE THEY
CREATE ALL THESE PLAGUES...
NOOR:
DON'T SAY THAT. THIS TIME THEY ARE SUFFERING TOO AND NO ONE IS EVIL
ENOUGH TO CREATE SUCH HORROR. THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEING EFFECTED BY
THIS CONTAGION. IT'S IN THE NATURE...NATURE HAS BECOME THE ENEMY THIS
TIME.
MONA:
YES, IT'S INSIDE NATURE BECAUSE THEY THEMSELVES HAVE DESTROYED NATURE.
THE EARTH IS POISONED WITH BOMBS EXPLODING KILLING MILLIONS, CAUSING
DISEASES, CANCERS, CANCERS OF THE SOUL, THE PERMANENT VIRUS CREATED BY
HUMAN BEINGS WITH THE POWER OF THEIR MIGHT AND MILITARY WHICH RUINED
THE EARTH AND TURNED IT INTO BOILING LAVA.
UNHEALTHY FOOD, WITH INJECTIONS CAUSED BY THE DRUGS ADDED TO MAKE IT
LOOK MORE SHINY, MORE BRIGHT, MORE LASTING BUT CAUSING UNKNOWN
ILLNESS...MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS, THE POLLUTION IN THE AIR, THE MASSES
RUSHING AND CRUSHING THE EARTH AND THE HUMANS ON IT...THE INCREDIBLE
RUSH OF GREED AND POWER, THE SUBJUGATION OF THE OPPRESSED, OF THE POOR,
THE CRUELTY OF THE LEADERS, ....
THIS KILLER VIRUS IS THE SIGN OF REVENGE OF NATURE BEING TREATED SO
ABOMINABLY. IT'S THE PUNISHMENT. NATURE STOOD UP FINALLY TO DEMAND HER
RIGHT TO EXIST. NATURE TOLD THEM, "LOOK HOW YOU DESTROYED ME"
"YOU DESTROYED ME TO HAVE MORE DIAMONDS, MORE OIL, MORE BUILDINGS,
MORE...MORE...MORE.
NOTHING WAS ENOUGH FOR YOUR GREED, FOR YOUR CONTROL. YOU ALWAYS
WANTED MORE, MORE, MORE. WHAT WILL FINALLY QUENCH YOUR THIRST?
WHAT WILL MAKE YOU LESS HUNGRY.
YOU HAVE IT ALL.
YOUR SHARE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD'S SHARE.
WHAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY?
NOTHING, I GUESS.
SO DEAL WITH ME NOW...DEAL WITH ME...I AM HERE BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ME.
THATS MY BEAUTY.
THATS MY POWER
YOU CAN'T BOMB ME
YOU CAN BOMB EVERY MOVING CREATURE BUT YOU CAN'T BOMB ME
I SLEEP WITH YOU
I WAKE UP WITH YOU
I EAT WITH YOU
I DRINK WITH YOU
I SIT WITH YOU
I AM HERE
BUT YOU CAN NOT SEE ME
I AM THE INVISIBLE VIRUS
I AM THE INVISIBLE REVENGE.
"LOOK HOW YOU PLUCKED MY COLORS AND TURNED IT INTO BLOOD." NATURE
TOLD THEM, "LOOK HOW YOU HAVE MUDDIED MY FLOWERS? HOW YOU DIDN'T
LEARN THE LESSON WHEN I BROUGHT THE DEADLY STORMS, THE FIRES, WHEN I
BURNT YOUR FORESTS, YOU DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION, YOU KEPT YOUR CRUELTY
GOING, YOU EAT CAVIAR AND DRANK CHAMPAGNE AND KEPT DANCING IN YOUR
MANSIONS, YOU KEPT FLYING IN YOUR PRIVATE JETS. DID YOU EVER SEE THE
HOMELESS ON THE GROUND FROM YOUR JETS? DID YOU SEE THE GHETTOS WHICH
YOU CREATED ALL OVER MY PLANET? DID YOU STOP FOR A MOMENT TO THINK OF
THE SUFFERING OF THE EARTH? SUFFERING OF HUNGRY? SUFFERING OF SICK
CHILDREN? POVERTY ALL OVER THE PLANET WHICH YOU CREATED BY YOUR
GREED?
HOW COME YOU NEVER STOPPED FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND TO THINK OF THE
OTHER? THE OTHER YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW, THE OTHER YOU AVOID LIKE
PLAGUE?
NOW THE PLAGUE IS IN YOUR HOUSE, IN YOUR GARDEN, IN YOUR YACHTS, IN YOUR
PLANES, IN YOUR CLUBS, IN YOUR CONCERT HALLS, IN YOUR MOUNTAINS, IN
YOUR GARDENS.
IN YOUR FURNITURE, IN YOUR HANDS, ON YOUR FACES....
ARE YOU HUMBLE NOW? ARE YOU HUMBLE NOW? ARE YOU? PRAY.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS FOR YOUR SINS...ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.
ARE YOU SENSITIVE TO OTHER HUMAN BEINGS SUFFERING NOW?
ARE YOU GOING TO BE CIVIL?
ARE YOU GOING TO TREAT EVERY ONE ON THIS EARTH AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE
TREATED? YOU SAY, "WE ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER." ARE YOU? ARE YOU? ARE
YOU? ARE YOU GOING TO LEARN A FINAL LESSON? ARE YOU GOING TO LESSEN
YOUR GREED? YOUR CRUELTY? YOUR WARS? YOUR TREATMENT OF OTHER
HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAVE LESS DIAMONDS THAN YOU?
LESS MANSIONS THEN YOU,?LESS BANK BALANCE THEN YOU?
ARE YOU? ARE YOU? ARE YOU?
IF YOU ARE NOT, I, THE NATURE WHO BROUGHT THIS VIRUS, THIS INFECTION, THIS
DEATH TO YOU WILL NEVER GO AWAY...IF YOU DO NOT LEARN THE LESSON TO BE
HUMAN NOW, THE PLAGUE WILL NEVER GO AWAY TILL ALL OF YOU ARE WIPED
OFF FROM THE FACE OF THIS EARTH.
NOOR:
LIFE IS SUCH A TRAGEDY
MONA:
LIFE IS GOOD, LIFE WAS GOOD TILL WE THE EVIL HUMAN MADE IT INTO A
CATASTROPHE FOR ALL OF US, FOR THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE
NOOR:
WHAT NEED TO BE DONE NOW?
MONA:
WE NEED TO PRAY, PRAY AND PRY FOR FORGIVENESS FOR NOT SEEING
THE REST OF HUMANITY AND IT'S SUFFERING. WE NEED TO CHANGE, COMPLETELY
CHANGE. WE NEED TO LEARN FROM THIS ILLNESS AND ASK THE POWER ABOVE
FOR FORGIVENESS.
NOOR:
LET'S US PRAY. THE MOAZZAN IS CALLING, CALLING THE FAITHFUL TO BOW DOWN
TO THE ONLY POWER WHO CAN HEAL, ALMIGHTY GOD. LET US PRAY BEFORE THE
SUN GOES DOWN. I HEARD THAT THIS TIME OF THE DUSK THE PRAYERS ARE
ALWAYS BEING HEARD.
(THEY BOTH PRAY, GO INTO SAJDA)
THE FIGHT WITH OURSELVES NOT TO FEEL WHAT WE ARE MADE TO FEEL,
WHAT WE ARE FORCED TO FEEL.
UNDOING WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO US IS MONUMENTAL EFFORT
AND WE ARE EXHAUSTED TO GO OUT AND FIGHT AND TRY TO TAKE
THIS FALSE, ASSUMED TRAGIC REALITY OUT OF OUR LIVES.

LISTEN,
YOU HAVE TO GET OVER IT
YOU ARE HURTING YOURSELF
NO ONE ELSE BUT YOURSELF
YOU ARE ACTUALLY HURTING YOUR CREATIVITY,
YOUR ENERGY, YOUR SPIRIT, YOUR HOPE,
THUS YOUR FUTURE PROSPECTS.
FUTURE EXISTS TILL YOU DIE...
YOU ARE NOT DEAD YET...
THANK GOD.
SO HAVE SOME HOPE

WHY?
MAYBE I DON'T THINK THAT I AM ESTABLISHED ENOUGH
SO, YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED THE FACT IN YOUR OWN HEAD
THAT YOU ARE NOT ESTABLISHED AND NO ONE GOOD ENOUGH
WILL WORK WITH YOU...
I DON'T KNOW....
REALLY, IT'S JUST DIFFICULT TO GET GREAT ACTORS WHEN THEATER DOESN'T PAY
THEM.
SO, YOU HAVE STTLED YOUR HEART ON GETTING ORDINARY OR EVEN
AMATEUR ACTORS...
WHATEVER I CAN GET..
YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT YOU DESERVE BAD ACTORS?
NO, I CAN'T GET GOOD ACTORS
THEN YOUR CHOICE IS TO WORK WITH BAD ACTORS?
NO, T'S NOT MY CHOICE, IT'S NECESSITY.
WHY HAVE YOU CREATED THIS DIFFICULT NECESSITY FOR YOURSELF?
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
YOU CAN STOP DOING YOUR PLAYS
BUT I NEED TO GET MY WORK DONE...
BUT WHY IN SUCH A BAD AND POOR WAY?
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IS IT THAT YOIU DON'T KNOW?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO...
YOU DON'T HAVE MANY CHOICES, DO YOU?
NO, I DON'T
BUT YOU CAN MAKE ONE OF THE CHOICES, EITHER DON'T DO THE PLAYS
OR DO THEM AND GET BETTER ACTORS
FROM WHERE?
IF YOU HAD MORE CONFIDENCE IN YOU, YOU WILL GET ACTORS WHO
HAVE BEEN ON STAGE BEFORE INSTEAD OF GETTING THE ACTORS WHO
HAVE NEVER BEEN UNDER THE LIGHTS. IF YOU HAD MORE CONFIDENCE
IN YOURSELF AGOOD ACTORS WILL BE LINING UP EVEN TO WORK FOR NO MONEY.
IT'S YOU WHO HAS LOW SELF ESTEEM AND BECAUSE OF THAT YOU ARE
DESPERATE TO GET ANY TOM, DICK AND HARRY AND PUT THEM IN TO FILL THE
ROLES FOR WHICH THEY ARE LEAST EQUIPPED. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING
YOURSELF. DO NOT FILL THE ROLES. GET REAL ACTORS, NO MATTER HOW,
THE ACTORS WHO HAVE REAL ABILITY TO DELIVER YOUR MATERIAL OR
DO NOT DO THE PLAYS.
DO ONE PERSON SHOWS
TRAVEL WITH THE SHOWS
MAKE SOME MONEY
HAVE LESS HEARTACHE
KEEP WRITING THE PLAYS WITH OTHER CHARACTERS THOUGH
KEEPPOLISHING THEM
THEN SUBMIT TO OTHER PROFESSIONAL THEATERS
REGIONAL THEATERS
SEND THEM TO BRITISH THEATERS
LONDON WILL LOVE YOUR WORK...
SEND THEM THE UN-PRODUCED PLAYS
YOU HAVE SOME. DON'T YOU?
YES.....
WHICH ONES?
"LOVE IS A TRAMP"
"SORROW AT THE TIME OF ISIS."
"THEATER OF WORDS."
THAT'S THE ANSWER
THE MEAN TIME CHANGE SOME OF YOUR BAD HABITS
EXCERCISE
ONE HOUR WALK EVERY DAY
STAIONARY BICYCLE
LOSE WEIGHT
AND WRITEA HILARIOUSLY FUNNY ONE WOMAN PLAY

A SHORT PLAY
CHARACTERS:
MONA
NOOR
TWO FRIENDS LIVING AT THE TIME OF CORONA VIRUS
MONA:
I HATE PEOPLE
NOOR:
WHY?
MONA:
THE SPITEFUL, IRONIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE WORLD AND THE PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD. THAT'S THE IMPULSE OF ALL THE WEALTHY, POWERFUL PEOPLE TOWARDS
THE POOR, POWERLESS HUMAN BEINGS WHO ARE BEING TREATED WORSE THAN
ANIMALS. TOTALLY SPITEFUL. I HATE PEOPLE. I WANT NOTHING WITH THEM.
I NEVER WANT TO DEAL WITH THEM.
NOOR:
THIS KIND OF SITUATION HAS NEVER CHANGED IN THE WORLD.
IT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE DAYS OF ADAM AND EVE. NOTHING IS GOING TO
CHANGE. WHY MUST YOU TAKE IT TO HEART? WHY MUST YOU GIVE YOUR SELF
SO MUCH HEARTACHE? DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE IN LIFE.
MONA:
MY HATRED TOWARDS THEM IS CONSTRUCTIVE.
NOOR:
BUT NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE BY YOU HATING THEM. ONLY SUFFERING
WILL COME TO YOU. YOU How are you?VE TO ACCEPT IT.
MONA:
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE SAYING THIS. WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OTHER
PEOPLE'S SUFFERING? I THOUGHT YOU HAD SOME SOCIAL CONSCIOUS.
NOR:
I DO. I SUFFERED FOR YEARS BUT NOTHING CHANGED. THE WORLD IS EVIL
WE KNOW THAT.
MONA:
SO THE WORLD IS EVIL AND WE SHOULD JUST DANCE? SING ANTHEMS OF JOY AND
SUCCESS AND BE MERRY?
NOOR:
NOT EXACTLY LIKE THAT. WE HAVE TO HELP, WE HAVE TO TRY OUR BEST TO FEEL
FOR THE DOWNTRODDEN TO SURVIVE .BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY POOR AND
HUNGRY PEOPLE CREATED BY THE RICH AND POWERFUL.THEY CREATE HUNGER
AND HUNGRY HERDS BECAUSE OF THE NECESSITY FOR THEM TO REMAIN ALWAYS
FILTHY RICH AND THUS POWERFUL
WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM, SOMEONE HAS TO. IF THEY ARE NOT BEING
TAKEN CARED FOR, THERE WILL BE DISEASES AND PLAGUES AND AFTER EFFECTS
OF THE STOLEN WEALTH AND SOME ONE UP THERE IS WATCHING, SOME ONE WHO
HAS OWN SECRETS AND WHO IS PATIENT AND HAD BEEN FOR CENTURIES BUT IS
NOW PISSED AT THE ZALAM, (CRUEL) LEADERS OF THE WORLD WHO HAVE
BROUGHT THE REST OF HUMANITY TO THIS PATHETIC LEVEL AND NEEDS TO BE
TAUGHT A LESSON AND THIS INVISIBLE ENEMY OF ALL HUMANITY IS THE SIGN, IS
THE SYMBOL, IS THE LESSON AND IF WE WHO DARE CALL OUR SELVES HUMAN AND
EQUAL AND JUST (WHAT A LAUGH) DO NOT LEARN NOW AT THE TIME OF THIS
OMINOUS CRISIS THEN IT'S QYIAMAT (END OF THE WORLD, THE APPOCLYPSE)
SOME ONE HAS TO BRING THE ELEMENT OF SPIRITUALITY INTO SOLVING THIS
TRAGEDY BESIDE SCIENCE , RESEARCH AND THE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE.
FAITH, JUSTIC, HUMANITY, SPIRIT, KINDNESS, EMPATHY, COMPASSION HAS TO COME
INTO THE HEALING PROCESS.
WE ALSO NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES, OUR HEALTH, OUR PRODUCTIVITY,
OUR ENERGIES MUST NOT BE SPENT ON HATE. WE NEED TO PRAY.
ESPECIALLY NOW, AT THE TIME OF DISEASE, THIS MONSTER, THIS INVISIBLE ENEMY
WHICH IS KILLING THOUSANDS...
MONA:
YES, YES, YES, THAT'S WHY I HATE THE SELFISH, THE POWERFUL, THE GREEDY, THE
FILTHY RICH. THEY WILL SURVIVE THIS VIRUS. THEY SURVIVE ALL VIRUSES, THEY
SURVIVE THE PLAGUES BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE BECAUSE THEY
CREATE ALL THESE PLAGUES...
NOOR:
DON'T SAY THAT. THIS TIME THEY ARE SUFFERING TOO AND NO ONE IS EVIL
ENOUGH TO CREATE SUCH HORROR. THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEING EFFECTED BY
THIS CONTAGION. IT'S IN THE NATURE...NATURE HAS BECOME THE ENEMY THIS
TIME.
MONA:
YES, IT'S INSIDE NATURE BECAUSE THEY THEMSELVES HAVE DESTROYED NATURE.
THE EARTH IS POISONED WITH BOMBS EXPLODING KILLING MILLIONS, CAUSING
DISEASES, CANCERS, CANCERS OF THE SOUL, THE PERMANENT VIRUS CREATED BY
HUMAN BEINGS WITH THE POWER OF THEIR MIGHT AND MILITARY WHICH RUINED
THE EARTH AND TURNED IT INTO BOILING LAVA.
UNHEALTHY FOOD, WITH INJECTIONS CAUSED BY THE DRUGS ADDED TO MAKE IT
LOOK MORE SHINY, MORE BRIGHT, MORE LASTING BUT CAUSING UNKNOWN
ILLNESS...MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS, THE POLLUTION IN THE AIR, THE MASSES
RUSHING AND CRUSHING THE EARTH AND THE HUMANS ON IT...THE INCREDIBLE
RUSH OF GREED AND POWER, THE SUBJUGATION OF THE OPPRESSED, OF THE POOR,
THE CRUELTY OF THE LEADERS, ....
THIS KILLER VIRUS IS THE SIGN OF REVENGE OF NATURE BEING TREATED SO
ABOMINABLY. IT'S THE PUNISHMENT. NATURE STOOD UP FINALLY TO DEMAND HER
RIGHT TO EXIST. NATURE TOLD THEM, "LOOK HOW YOU DESTROYED ME"
"YOU DESTROYED ME TO HAVE MORE DIAMONDS, MORE OIL, MORE BUILDINGS,
MORE...MORE...MORE.
NOTHING WAS ENOUGH FOR YOUR GREED, FOR YOUR CONTROL. YOU ALWAYS
WANTED MORE, MORE, MORE. WHAT WILL FINALLY QUENCH YOUR THIRST?
WHAT WILL MAKE YOU LESS HUNGRY.
YOU HAVE IT ALL.
YOUR SHARE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD'S SHARE.
WHAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY?
NOTHING, I GUESS.
SO DEAL WITH ME NOW...DEAL WITH ME...I AM HERE BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ME.
THATS MY BEAUTY.
THATS MY POWER
YOU CAN'T BOMB ME
YOU CAN BOMB EVERY MOVING CREATURE BUT YOU CAN'T BOMB ME
I SLEEP WITH YOU
I WAKE UP WITH YOU
I EAT WITH YOU
I DRINK WITH YOU
I SIT WITH YOU
I AM HERE
BUT YOU CAN NOT SEE ME
I AM THE INVISIBLE VIRUS
I AM THE INVISIBLE REVENGE.
"LOOK HOW YOU PLUCKED MY COLORS AND TURNED IT INTO BLOOD." NATURE
TOLD THEM, "LOOK HOW YOU HAVE MUDDIED MY FLOWERS? HOW YOU DIDN'T
LEARN THE LESSON WHEN I BROUGHT THE DEADLY STORMS, THE FIRES, WHEN I
BURNT YOUR FORESTS, YOU DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION, YOU KEPT YOUR CRUELTY
GOING, YOU EAT CAVIAR AND DRANK CHAMPAGNE AND KEPT DANCING IN YOUR
MANSIONS, YOU KEPT FLYING IN YOUR PRIVATE JETS. DID YOU EVER SEE THE
HOMELESS ON THE GROUND FROM YOUR JETS? DID YOU SEE THE GHETTOS WHICH
YOU CREATED ALL OVER MY PLANET? DID YOU STOP FOR A MOMENT TO THINK OF
THE SUFFERING OF THE EARTH? SUFFERING OF HUNGRY? SUFFERING OF SICK
CHILDREN? POVERTY ALL OVER THE PLANET WHICH YOU CREATED BY YOUR
GREED?
HOW COME YOU NEVER STOPPED FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND TO THINK OF THE
OTHER? THE OTHER YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW, THE OTHER YOU AVOID LIKE
PLAGUE?
NOW THE PLAGUE IS IN YOUR HOUSE, IN YOUR GARDEN, IN YOUR YACHTS, IN YOUR
PLANES, IN YOUR CLUBS, IN YOUR CONCERT HALLS, IN YOUR MOUNTAINS, IN
YOUR GARDENS.
IN YOUR FURNITURE, IN YOUR HANDS, ON YOUR FACES....
ARE YOU HUMBLE NOW? ARE YOU HUMBLE NOW? ARE YOU? PRAY.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS FOR YOUR SINS...ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.
ARE YOU SENSITIVE TO OTHER HUMAN BEINGS SUFFERING NOW?
ARE YOU GOING TO BE CIVIL?
ARE YOU GOING TO TREAT EVERY ONE ON THIS EARTH AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE
TREATED? YOU SAY, "WE ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER." ARE YOU? ARE YOU? ARE
YOU? ARE YOU GOING TO LEARN A FINAL LESSON? ARE YOU GOING TO LESSEN
YOUR GREED? YOUR CRUELTY? YOUR WARS? YOUR TREATMENT OF OTHER
HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAVE LESS DIAMONDS THAN YOU?
LESS MANSIONS THEN YOU,?LESS BANK BALANCE THEN YOU?
ARE YOU? ARE YOU? ARE YOU?
IF YOU ARE NOT, I, THE NATURE WHO BROUGHT THIS VIRUS, THIS INFECTION, THIS
DEATH TO YOU WILL NEVER GO AWAY...IF YOU DO NOT LEARN THE LESSON TO BE
HUMAN NOW, THE PLAGUE WILL NEVER GO AWAY TILL ALL OF YOU ARE WIPED
OFF FROM THE FACE OF THIS EARTH.
NOOR:
LIFE IS SUCH A TRAGEDY
MONA:
LIFE IS GOOD, LIFE WAS GOOD TILL WE THE EVIL HUMAN MADE IT INTO A
CATASTROPHE FOR ALL OF US, FOR THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE
NOOR:
WHAT NEED TO BE DONE NOW?
MONA:
WE NEED TO PRAY, PRAY AND PRY FOR FORGIVENESS FOR NOT SEEING
THE REST OF HUMANITY AND IT'S SUFFERING. WE NEED TO CHANGE, COMPLETELY
CHANGE. WE NEED TO LEARN FROM THIS ILLNESS AND ASK THE POWER ABOVE
FOR FORGIVENESS.
NOOR:
LET'S US PRAY. THE MOAZZAN IS CALLING, CALLING THE FAITHFUL TO BOW DOWN
TO THE ONLY POWER WHO CAN HEAL, ALMIGHTY GOD. LET US PRAY BEFORE THE
SUN GOES DOWN. I HEARD THAT THIS TIME OF THE DUSK THE PRAYERS ARE
ALWAYS BEING HEARD.
(THEY BOTH PRAY, GO INTO SAJDA)
