Look, Up in the Sky! A Play in One Farcical Act.
- Up, Up and Away
THE SCENE: A swank TV studio, with all the zoomy, whizzy lights, giant flashing screens, deep-pile royal blue carpeting, poreless, lacquered newsbots, and hysterical black-clad assistants one could ever desire. We are in the back of the studio, in the glass-enclosed center of all the action. EDITORS 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all sitting in their leather chairs, directing the action by talking to each other, pointing at their MacBooks, and shouting into their wireless headsets. They are all in their 20's and have just been promoted after their more experienced bosses "aged out of the business."
EDITOR 1 (swigging a Red Bull): What's new on Twitter? We've gotta have something for the next segment.
EDITOR 2 (nervously): Let's see...Demi and Ashton just tweeted...
EDITOR 3 (yawning): Oh please. They tweet when they pee!
