FAN FICTION: Twelfth Night

1. EXT. BEACH - NIGHT

Laying. face down on the beach, washed up on the shore, is SEBASTIEN. Also on
stage, is ANTONIO who is approaching the man laying - face down on the beach.

ANTONIO – Escuse me. Sir?

PAUSE.

ANTONIO – Sir, can you hear me at all?

SILENCE

ANTONIO crouches down beside SEBASTIEN and rolls him over. SEBASTIEN is clearly unconscious. ANTONIO slings his rapier over his shoulder and hoists SEBASTIEN over his right shoulder. ANTONIO carries SEBASTIEN off stage as lights fade to black.

2. INT. – BEDROOM - DAY

SEBASTIEN is propped up in a bed, his various wounds wrapped and bandaged.

ENTER ANTONIO.

ANTONIO – Sebastien I have brought your breakfast.

SEBASTIEN – What delectable meal have you brought me?

ANTONIO – Whole grain toast and eggs.

SEBASTIEN – You are such a kind host Antonio. I cannot express to you enough my
gratitude for your hospitality.

ANTONIO – You are quite welcome. Do you take sugar with your coffee?

SEBASTIEN – No thank you.

ANTONIO places the breakfast plate over SEBASTIEN so he can eat and his cup of
coffee on the nightstand by the bed.

SEBASTIEN – SO how long exactly was I out for?

ANTONIO – well I don’t know how long you were laying on the beach for, but after
I found you, three days.

SEBASTIEN – There were no others?

ANTONIO – No sir. But where I found you, there was no debris from the wreck
anyway. You must have been separated.

SEBASTIEN – So then there could be survivors! Has there been any news from Illyria?

ANTONIO – I am afraid not yet.

SEBASTIEN – I need to find my sister.

SEBASTIEN tries to get out of bed, but winces in pain and falls back.

ANTONIO – You can’t over-exert yourself. We will find your sister. You must rest
first though and regain your energy.

SEBASTIEN – You’re right. But will you do me a favor?

ANTONIO – Certainly.

SEBASTIEN – Check around town. See if anyone has received news of a vessel
crashing. Maybe we can catch a lead to finding out if my dear sister is still alive.

ANTONIO – What is her name?

SEBASTIEN – Viola.

ANTONIO gathers up the empty plates and clears away the bed table. He fixes
Sebastien’s pillow.

ANTONIO – I will certainly ask. If I hear any news at all I shall report back and
notify you immediately.

SEBASTIEN – Thank you.

ANTONIO – Of course sir. Now please you must rest.

ANTONIO exits off stage. SEBASTIEN slumps back into the bed. Lights slowly FADE
TO BLACK.
