Monkeys vs Giant Mutant Bananas that Know Kung-Fu

[ann_leckie]

Well, that was the working title, anyway. Of the play that was written by a small group of Paidhi Girl's fellow drama-campers. They worked for a whole week, from nine to noon each day, and tonight was the big night.

They decided, to Paidhi Girl's sorrow, that the original concept was "too weird" and instead went with "Why Bananas Don't Like Monkeys." A couple of monkeys were watching TV. They didn't like the jokes the person inside the cardboard TV was telling, so they knocked it over and dragged him away on a wagon. Then, for reasons that were never wholly explained, a group of bananas arrived. "We've come to fight," announced Paidhi-Girl Banana, "And we must fight like men." Out came the silly string and the water balloons. The monkeys got the worst of it, but the script didn't agree. "We surrender!" cried a banana, and they fled the scene.

The cardboard TV, with the same comedian, reappeared. A person Paidhi Girl later told me was a sloth sat down in front of it, with a bag of cheetos. A girl dressed all in orange came on and accused the sloth of eating her big brother. The sloth fell down. The end.

Paidhi Girl informs me that in her opinion the plot was not very well thought through. I suggested that perhaps it had been merely a vehicle for water balloons and silly string, but she says they didn't come up until late in the process.

The other groups were...about what you'd expect. Not nearly so action-packed, though.
