The Radical Storytelling Crew is an Anarchist Theatre Collective. We are interested in telling stories with materials and space that do not require us to ask permission. We want to be accountable only to the land and our grassroots communities. This is our place for discussion and knowledge-sharing. We haven't yet made any decisions about what permissions non-members should be granted on this Lemmy community.

*2043, Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court (a well established subsidised "new writing" theatre in Sloane Square). It has been frugally adapted for living. There might be a compost toilet in the back, something for cooking. Three elderly squatters surround a heat source, eating Pigeon On A Stick, reminiscing. *

ARF: Prawn Mayo sandwiches!

		SHERBOURNE and OFFALY recoil in disgust

SHERBOURNE: We were vegans.

ARF: So was I... CORNETTOS!

OFFALY: They’re back now.

ARF: What?

OFFALY: They’re back now.

ARF: But- not with sugar and cocoa

OFFALY: Yeah, with sugar and cocoa.

SHERBOURNE: Yeah, but it’s Cadbury’s now, coz they were Quakers. So, like, socialist ice cream.

ARF: how. where did they get the sugar and cocoa from?

OFFALY: South America. It fell like two months ago.

ARF: South. South America... The whole of South America? Or just former Brazil?

SHERBOURNE: The whole of South America Arf. Fuck, I’m so sorry, we thought you knew

ARF: I NEVER FUCKING GO OUT DO I?!

OFFALY: I’m sorry.

ARF: Tell me what happened.

OFFALY: The SRUSA&C took it from the air. Fucking dropped robots from helicopters. Cleared people out, put them to work.

ARF: What was the justification?

		(pause)

SHERBOURNE: The American people wanted ice cream.

OFFALY: Fully Automated Luxury Communism

ARF: Fully automated luxury fucking communism.

ARFUR is picking their nose

SHERBOURNE: aw, Jesus Arf

ARFUR: what?

SHERBOURNE: come on that’s disgusting

ARFUR eats the bogey

SHERBOURNE: ewwwwww!! JADED: arrrrrr!!! OFFALY: smiling Arf…

ARFUR: I like picking my nose. I like picking my nose. It’s satisfying. And it’s tasty. And it helps you breathe. The only reason not to pick your nose is the fear of being judged. So, when you pick your nose… (really starting to enjoy themselves now), when one picks one’s nose, one gets the satisfaction of peeling a gnarly globule out of a fleshy cavity, a tasty little salty snack, clear airways, and, liberation from shame.

OFFALY: Nose-shame in that.

JADED: weyyyyyyy ARFUR: weyyyyyyy SHERBOURNE: weyyyyyyy

ARFUR: Nose-shaming (pleased with this term) Is a white supremecist colonial construct.

JADED: Designed to keep our airways blocked

ARFUR: Stop us breathing!

JADED: Keeping us anxious

ARFUR: Dulling our sense of smell!

OFFALY: So we can’t smell out the rat!

SHERBOURNE: Ah now guys, leave the ratties out of it. to ARFUR Do you feel like this about scabs?

ARFUR: …Alright I kinda feel the same about scabs.

SHERBOURNE: Okay but scabs, there are good sound medical reasons not to pick your scabs, so…

ARFUR: Well, speaking as a Trade Unionist

SHERBOURNE: Former trade unionist

JADED: Woah

OFFALY: Yeah what was that?

SHERBOURNE: Sorry sorry, dunno where that came from

ARFUR: It’s calm. Speaking as a former trade unionist, I know that the best way to deal with scabs…

JADED: Here we go

ARFUR: Is to just picket.

JADED: weyyyyyyy OFFALY: weyyyyyyy SHERBOURNE: weyyyyyyy
