SCENE 1: STREET
Ushers dressed as 1940’s gangsters... no zoot suits please, have escorted the audienceto their seats. The auditorium is decorated for that time period. A pre-recorded tapeof the band warming up is played quietly over the house system. The curtain opensabruptly. We see a telephone booth, neon street signs, one of them reading, SATINCLUB . It is dark, foggy, mysterious.
Alec Capri, our hero, is center stage. He has one ear to the phone, the other to a boxwrapped in brown paper.
As the curtain opens, the 4 Moroccans are moving off stage. The Mysterious GirlAgent watches from the distance.
ALEC (on phone)“This thing is ticking!”
