Michelle
Gove's Bathroom.
R K and S on as sinks.
R: Imagine.
K: Ok?
S: A bathroom.
RKS: Is it just like yours?
K and S off.
R: This is the bathroom of Michelle Give.
J and E enter on opposite sides. They both wash their hands and fix their hair then sit down.
K and S enter as toilet and toilet brush.
E: God that stinks!
S: What did she eat?
R: It was pasta I think.
E: Having a bad day are you? All that stress and pain is getting to you I can see it in your eyes. It's aging you slowly. As of lately you've turned so bitter. I saw you earlier...
J gets up and E follows her as she observes S who is busking.
E: You saw that poor boy begging for money, and you god damn well knew you had twenty quid in your pocket. But you were too selfish to fork out. That's the thing about you politicians, you're all selfish. The sooner you realize that the better.
J walks past S and circles E's chair to return to her own. R sits in in E's chair and E becomes sink.
R: I saw you this morning at the referendum, you were so eager to sign that policy for raising the grade boundaries. You never used to be like this.
K comes on. R and J sit up straighter.
K: Right. We are at the final stage of raising the UK's educational grade boundaries for core subjects for high school students. All those for?
S raises J's hand.
K: All those against? Thank you politicians the grade boundaries will rise this autumn.
E and K swap, K becomes sink. R becomes toilet. S sits in E's chair.
S: She doesn't look too good.
E: She had a bad day, she can't flush this away!
K: But she does deserve a good day doesn't she?
R: Yeah, this is meant to be relaxing, you're not really helping...
S: Do you remember me? Didn't think you would. I was 1 of 1000's. It's our lives that you're ruining, our futures! We are the future.
S K R E sound scape: We are the future.
S K R E surround J on chair shouting.
J: Stop! It's not my fault ok?
J gets up and washes her hands.
E: Listen, I know you've had a hard week. You're a politician and you have to be brave. You have to show the people you are in charge. So, keep your chin up, put a smile on that face, and lets take another day.
E and J circle E's chair. S R K bombard J as paparazzi.
S: Michelle! How do you feel about putting up the grade boundaries?
R: Michelle! Do you know you're ruining lives?
L: Michelle! Do you have anything to say?
All: Michelle michelle!
J: Leave me alone. I'm a human, just like you.
