When Liz finds the man of her dreams, Lindy faces a dilemma: can she just let her friend be happy? Characters: 1. Liz. Twenties. Starry-eyed. 2. Lindy Twenties. A realist. 3. Mime Twenties. BUSU - Director: Michael Lovell Synopsis: Busu (meaning The Delicious Poison in English) is an ancient Japanese traditional play which addresses social conflict between the upper and lower class in a very comical way. The play features the master who has in his possession a very important and dangerous vase, which he is forced to leave with his servants to watch. The servants heed the masters warning about the dangers of opening the vase, but can they resist the temptations of seeing what is inside? The play will be told in an auteur way, with more modern elements and language used within the story. Characters: 1. Master: Head of the house, and a very rich, important man/woman. Should be portrayed as respectable, and probably a little older than the other characters. 2. Servant 1 (Taro)- The first servant. Appears to be slightly smarter than his/her counterpart, but also slightly more devious. Gender and age do not matter for this part. 3. Servant 2 (Jiro)- The second servant. Appears to be more innocent, and dumber than his co-worker. Tends to try to follow to rules, but always follows Taro-san in the end. Gender and age do not matter for this part.
