PRINCE OF THE
CLOUDS
A Synopsis by
William D. Hathaway
A black comedy in two acts.
Three men and two women. The
action unfolds in a cold-water flat in Brooklyn, N.Y. on June 11, 1963,
Bloomsday. Flashbacks occur
downstage of the flat.
FINTAN VALOVICH, a poet, has
returned to his Brooklyn home to revenge the murder of his muse, ROSE.
He holds his mother, MAUD VALOVICH, and his best friend, LUTHER
BELLAIMY, responsible.
Compounding the matter, Fintan
believes that he is Hamlet, a Hamlet who happens to be Fintan’s dearest
friend. Of course, experienced in matters of revenge, Hamlet has
agreed to make sure that Fintan’s mother and best friend receive their
just deserts.
But as Hamlet prepares to see the
deed done, mother and best friend declare their innocence and they beg to
Hamlet for an appeal. Although
Hamlet knows the whole truth (the truth according to Fintan, that is,) he
is still that Shakespearean character who is “never in a hurry to do
anything until all monologues have been exhausted.”
Hamlet agrees to hear them out.
“Let us put the truth to rest, and then I shall put you to rest.”
Asking Fintan’s best friend to refresh his martini, the
reconstruction of the “crime” begins. |
