ACTS, SCENES & BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS:ACT I -A small hill, with a tree. Leaning against the base of the tree are two figures
ACT I - [We start with a darkened stage. We hear a radio broadcast about the impending end of the world. Slowly the radio is faded out and replaced by the sound of panicked voices and screams. More than one voice yells words along the lines of "Repent, the end of the world is nigh". As these fade out the lights are brought up to reveal two figures leaning against the base of a tree]
