(A strange, pulsing rhythm is heard. Suddenly - a FIGURE LEAPS in the fog.) TWO GIRLS Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! (The TWO GIRLS EXIT, screaming. From offstage:) Sarah...! Sarah...! SARAH (transfixed) I'm here. I'm here... (SARAH watches, fascinated, as the FIGURE dances. A SECOND FIGURE joins, then FOUR MORE, half-glimpsed in the mist.) DANCE: "GOD HAS LEFT THE BUILDING" (The first dance of the evening is a Dionysian revel, a vampire rave. Like teenagers on a rampage, the vampires swarm over the church and gravestones. It's an explosion of freedom -- no limits -- utter abandon. One of them scrawls "CARPE NOCTEM" on a mausoleum in red, as if his bare hand itself were a spray-paint can. At some point, the dance becomes more synchronized, a pounding rhythm, as if the group was collectively summoning something forth.) (As if in response, there's A THUNDERCLAP, and BOLTS OF LIGHTNING pierce the sky. Sinister blinding lights blast out from within the church. The earth seems to tremble and shake. The sky becomes darker and more bloodshot as the sun expires. Volcanic rumblings surround everyone, onstage and in the audience. Fixtures on the theatre wall begin to rattle.) (The earth tremors become convulsive. SOMETHING BLASTS OUT FROM BENEATH THE GROUND, SLOWLY, WITH INCREDIBLE STRENGTH, SHOOTING OUT LIKE A ROCKET LAUNCHING, BULLETING UPWARDS, SENDING EARTH AND STONES FLYING. The huge shape is revealed to be AN ENORMOUS COFFIN, and it is soon hovering in the air, wildly swinging back and forth like the pendulum of a clock, glowing and pulsing with inner light. THE LID SWINGS OPEN and FALLS TO THE GROUND. The interior of the coffin lights up so that KROLOCK is a shadowy outline.) SARAH Help me, Almighty God! (SUDDEN TOTAL DARKNESS - onstage and in the theatre.) KROLOCK'S VOICE God has left the building. (THE DANCE CONTINUES with even greater ferocity, climaxing in pagan rapture as ROCKS and TOMBSTONES LEVITATE.) VAMPIRES (sing, exultantly) GOD HAS LEFT THE BUILDING THE WORLD HAS NEVER BEEN SO BLACK AND WE CAN RAVE UNTO THE NIGHT RANT UNDER THE MOON DANCING UPON OUR VERY OWN GRAVES RUNNING WITH THE PACK GOD HAS LEFT THE BUILDING AND HE IS NEVER COMING BACK (THE DANCE ENDS, but MUSIC CONTINUES.) And I can just imagine Jim topping this in the BOOH script. | |
