CABELL’S NEW SINS

a one-act play

Flames climb the rear of the stage, all is flushed a fierce red and strange convulsing shadows freak the walls - grotesque figures are glimpsed onstage.

CONSCIENCE (a Burroughsian universal voice, casual & laconic): To those with fully-functioning senses the planet Earth is already a living hell and to such folk the prohibitions of those who claim to be in authority come across as absurd at best, drowned out as they are by the high-frequency roar of hypocrisies too extreme to process. Most aware people dream of living a mere few instants of peace, away from the hysterical admonitions of neighbour, god and government. The sins listed are uninventive and boring, and the constant assumption that people are aching to commit them seems designed to insult the human imagination. Consider the case of Lord Cabell, one of the most inconvenient of the fifty-seven rakes of Regency England.
