<p> As the actors take their places and don masks, you settle down to watch the
action.*</p>
<p>Spark whispers to you,<br />
I wish there was a confectioner that sold candied apples!</p>
<p>The music starts the play, as Paul takes center stage and addresses the
audience.</p>
<p>Welcome to Our Tale,<br />
A tale so true to life.<br />
'Tis a tale of tragedy<br />
A man has lost his wife.</p>
<p>But the story need not be sad<br />
When The Fellowship is here.<br />
The Triad of Inner Strength<br />
Gives one no cause to fear.</p>
<p>Dustin takes the stage as Paul moves away. Meryl lies on the ground in front
of him and assumes a death-like pose.</p>
<p>'Tis doom!<br />
'Tis despair!<br />
'Tis death!<br />
My beloved wife is gone!<br />
Disease has taken her away<br />
And left me with but a song.</p>
<p>Dustin puts his head in his hands and mimes sobbing. As he sobs, Meryl rises
from her "death" in a ghost-like fashion, then addresses Dustin.</p>
<p><br />
Mine husband, my love!<br />
Do not despair!<br />
'Tis not doom!<br />
Thou shalt rise above<br />
All this melancholy and gloom!</p>
<p>Who doth speak to me?<br />
Could it be she?<br />
Or have I indeed gone mad?<br />
But who else -could- it be?</p>
<p>Mine husband, thou must listen.<br />
Thou hast thy comfort within thy grip.<br />
Thou must only seek them out --<br />
Those that can help -- The Fellowship!</p>
<p><br />
Meryl drifts off stage, leaving Dustin alone.<br />
The Fellowship, she said?<br />
But what do I need with it?<br />
I have mine eight virtues and mine healers<br />
With these nothing else will fit!</p>
<p>Paul enters the stage with Meryl, who now wears a different mask.<br />
But that is where thou art wrong!<br />
The Fellowship exists to help thee!<br />
The Triad of Inner Strength is here<br />
To give thee a sense of unity!</p>
<p>Join us now and thou wilt see.<br />
Join thy brothers and our plan<br />
To promote the tenets of our group --<br />
Thou wilt be a better man.</p>
<p>At this point, an elaborate mimed sequence reveals how Dustin joins The
Fellowship, receives his medallion from a "branch leader", portrayed by Paul,
and receives congratulations from Meryl.</p>
<p>Strive for Unity at all times,<br />
And Trust Thy Brother through all ill,<br />
For Worthiness Precedes thine own Reward<br />
Hark to our words -- it surely will!</p>
<p>I shall give half my wealth to thee!<br />
I shall do thy bidding and then wait.<br />
My reward shall come one day<br />
And free me from mine awful fate.</p>
<p>Dustin mimes giving Paul some money. Paul exits, then Dustin lies down on
the stage and mimes going to sleep. After a moment, Meryl enters the stage,
dances around Dustin's body, sprinkling some kind of sparkling dust on him.</p>
<p>Iolo whispers to you. "I am particularly enjoying the visual effects. The
script is a little weak, dost thou not think?"</p>
<p>Meryl leaves the stage and Dustin 'wakes up'. Lo and behold, he finds a bag
near his place of sleep. Upon opening it, he finds a bundle of gold!</p>
<p>By Lord British I declare!<br />
'Tis my reward! From the air!<br />
The voice I heard at night was right<br />
About my wretched life I will not care!</p>
<p>The voice came to me in a dream<br />
'Twas mine 'inner' voice, so fair.<br />
I now have a companion and provider,<br />
And a master about whom I care.</p>
<p>You are jarred by the actor's choice of words -- 'companion', 'provider',
and 'master'. You realize you have heard them before.</p>
<p>This is really awful.</p>
<p>Paul and Meryl join Dustin on stage and they all hold hands.</p>
<p>The Fellowship can give thee purpose<br />
To join is thine only choice<br />
Commit thyself to our just cause<br />
And find thine inner voice.</p>
<p>At that point, the actors bow, and you realize it is the end. You give them
polite applause.</p>
<p>What do they mean about the voice? I am not sure I understand. 'Twas a
confusing play. I did not like it at all. We have wasted our time and money!
That is the last time that I let thee decide how best we entertain
ourselves!</p>
