Abrupt

AT RISE:

MIDNIGHT MCBRIDE saunters on stage. He is everything you imagine him to be by virtue of his name alone. How does the author view this man among men? What physical characteristics does his possess? A mystery indeed! One everyone must look inside themselves to discover, for to give away any information about Midnight McBride, would be to do a great disservice to the joy of naming.

MCBRIDE:
I am Midnight McBride.

A WOMAN runs onstage, swoons, then rolls back offstage.

MCBRIDE:
Thank you.

The audience erupts in applause. McBride takes a deep bow, and then backflips off the stage.

BLACKOUT. END PLAY.
