Cast of characters:

Muje = the night warden

ACT I

Scene 1:
Muje, Cofe, Tzatzo
Set: a pole

Night. Clear sky. Empty moon. Ursa Major is missing. Resting next to the pole, Muje is sleeping. From the right side enters Tzatzo, with a bunch of books. He looks furtively. From behind the pole appears Cofe.
COFE: - Comeade Tzatzo, gotcha!
TZATZO: - Comrade Cofe, you are a sissy!
COFE: - Gee why?
TZATZO: - How could I know?
COFE: - Yeaaah? See that! Swear I wouldn't have believed!
TZATZO: - What can one do? Life is full of surprises!
MUJE: - Ho!
TZATZO and COFE (surprised): - Huuuhh?!
MUJE: - You!
COFE: - Brrrrrrr!!!!!!!
TZATZO: - Pssssssstttttt!
MUJE: - Connnncha! (He stands up and shoots them.)
Tzatzo and Cofe fall down, the first one on his back, with his legs upwards, stiff, remaining so. The second one, stiff also, remains propped to the pole. Muje climbs over the pole, using also the stiff Cofe for footholds, and desperately shouts.

MUJE: - Church on fiiiiiiireeeeeeee!!!!!!


Scene 2:
The same, Rupea.

Same set, by day. Cofe and Tzatzo are in the same posture, Muje keeps shooting himself, he falls down, he stands up, he shoots himself again, falls down again, stands up again, he shoots himself again, falls down again, stands up again, he shoots himself again, falls down again, stands up again. By left-stage enters Rupea, crawling on his knees, and wearing a basque beret with orange little holes.
RUPEA: - Halt, Muje, don't suikill!
MUJE (consternated): - But, Rupea!
RUPEA [i](pointing to the others two): [/i - What 'bout them?
MUJE: - None of your business!
TZATZO (waving his legs, hysterically, insistently and plaintively): - Yes ittizzz!!!
RUPEA: - Say, Muje, are you stupid, man?
MUJE: - Stupid!!!...


ACT II
Scene 1:
Rupea, Cofe, Muje

Afternoon. A scaffold with gallows. With the nooses around their necks, Rupea, Cofe and Muje have a chat, ready to hang themselves.
RUPEA: - Offffffff!!!
COFE: - Uhhhhhhhhh!!!
MUJE: - Goob ya!!!!!!
RUPEA: - Eiiiiiiii!!!
COFE: - Ufffffffff!!!
MUJE: - Goob ya!!!!!!
RUPEA: - Pssssssss!!!

Grand finale
All the play's personnel
Décor: a ladder

Rupea and Cofe are wrestling terribly and frighteningly cruel.
COFE: - I'll report you for stealing from the state's wealth!
RUPEA: - Shut up, oh, thee!....
COFE: - I'll report you for stealing from the state's wealth!
RUPEA: - Shut up, oh, thee!....
Enter, arm in arm, Tzatzo and Muje. Tzatzo, when seeing the fight, dies, while Muje climbs a ladder and on the ladder he stays.

Curtain.
