For your delight and delectation - a tantalising sample of the
script.
Pru, the wife of the owner of the Seaview hotel, is about to drop a
bombshell on her husband, James.
Pru
What happened to us James? Why did things change? When I was young, I thought I would meet a man, get married and we could be happy and grow old together.
James
When I was young I thought I would become Spiderman, so we’ve both been
disappointed.
Pru
You had dreams of going to sea and travelling the world. I would have
loved my handsome sailor boy coming back with souvenirs of every place
he’d been. What happened?
James
The Seaview Hotel happened. I got lumbered with it. Now, I don’t want to
discuss the matter. All I know is these books won’t cook themselves.
Pru
Oh! You’re impossible. I can’t bear to be with you anymore. here’s a
list of what I am accusing you of. It adds up to mental cruelty.
James
(READING) Pedantic? That’s not how you spell pedantic.
Pru
That’s it! I shall be in one of the spare rooms. I need to catch on my
beauty sleep.
James
In which case, my darling, you’ll need a lie in as well.
