Explanation:

The Starry Night

by A. Gautam

CHARACTERS:

SAMUEL, A middle-aged professor who looks like he has been teaching for centuries

NAGEN, A well-dressed boy who looks nervous and lost

VENUS, An antsy-looking girl dressed in a baseball cap and a torn shirt that looks new

RITCHIE, A dreamy looking young boy with ruffled hair

Stage Set: The outside of a museum. Samuel is leaning on a tree. The students are seated on the grass.

SAMUEL: Well, what was Van Gogh trying to say, really?

VENUS: I thought this was supposed to be a fun trip. You are—like—teaching us outside of class. What's up with that?

NAGEN: If I may, which painting were you referring to, sir?

SAMUEL: Starry Night. The waves in the sky. Imagination and reality. Darn, I am tired as the starry night.

VENUS: There he goes again, into his own little world. Do any of you know when the bus is supposed to pick us up?

NAGEN: I believe it is supposed to come at five. May I ask you a question, miss?

VENUS: Call me Ven. Waiting for the bus will be as fun as the dentist pulling my teeth out.

NAGEN: Ok, Ven. Why didn't the other students come with us?

VENUS: It was optional, dude!

RITCHIE: Nobody cares about art anymore. (to Nagen) Why did you come?

NAGEN: I need to keep busy after school. That is when, Richard, I get the most homesick.

RITCHIE: Call me Ritchie. Where is home for you?

SAMUEL: Who knows really what home is? Why can't people feel at home in art? Why the rush to belong? It does not make a difference if it is a stroke on the canvas or the work of clouds in the sky. To imagine is more important. To imagine the possibilities of the meaning is more beautiful. To find a home in the whole world is possible.

VENUS: Here comes the bus!

NAGEN: It's ————

(All rush to the bus.)
