Act 2, scene 2

*The lights go down, then they come up a busy market appears. The plotters are wearing black and everyone else is wearing whitr

Newsboy: Latest news, King Hirsch has died and Prince Hugo will take over as king

*The majority break into a loud whisper, saying positive things about Hugo becoming king, two people from the minority come into the middle of the crowd

Cuttle: Hey scrap, have you heard about what Hugo plans to do when he becomes king?

Scrap: I have but so we are on the same page

*He mouths to the audience, I can't remember

Scrap: Can you tell me?

Cuttle: He is going to let women speak their mind

Scrap: Shocked No way!

Cuttle: Yeah and he is going to let them vote

Scrap: Dude you have got to be kidding, that's outrageous

Chorus: No it isn't #Votesforwomen

*The Chorus is ignored

Cuttle: Finally he is going to encourage women to get jobs and discourage men from being sexist

Scrap: That's diabolical. That's discrimination. That's not fair! They are supposed to be at home looking after our children and doing housewifey things like cleaning

Cuttle: Kids are not hard to look after, just let them do what they want as long as they dont die and as for the cleaning, you can learn

Scrap: Yeah, that's some really good advice about the kids but with the cleaning.. well have you seen my room before my husband has cleaned it?

Cuttle: Yeah, you have a point there... wait a sec did you say husband?

Scrap: Sorry I was daydreaming, what did you say?

Cuttle: We need to do something about HIM

Scrap: Yeah we need to protest, (SHOUTING) down with the doe eyed king!

*Everyone in the majority stops moving and falls silent

Cuttle: Keep your voice down, are you trying to get us killed?

Scrap: No not really

*The majority start moving and continue to whisper loudly

Cuttle: You really pi-

Chorus: Oh for god sake what is it with people in this play and swearing

Cuttle: What is it with you and interrupting scenes with light banter that doesn't really do anything

*Everyone except the Cuttle and the Chorus falls silent and freezes

Chorus: Do you wanna piece of me, coz we can go right now?

Cuttle: What about the precious little people in the audience

Chorus: Oh screw the children

*The Chorus charges at Cuttle who punches him in the stomach then boops him on the nose, Knocking the Chorus out

Newsboy: KO!

*Everyone resumes what they were doing before except the chorus who has passed out

Cuttle: Now where were we?

Scrap: You were saying that I really Pi-

Cuttle: Never mind that, what I was trying to say is that we need to get rid of the soon to be King Hugo

Scrap: How are we gonna do that?

Cuttle: I have an idea...
