__ ACT I __ // Scene 1: The Hatchery and Conditioning Center // Director: //Enters at the head of a group of 3 students with clipboards.// And this! This is the fertilizing room! Over here is where we keep this week’s ova and there are the spermatozoa. But here is where the genius begins! Bokanovsky’s Process! One egg, one embryo, one adult means normality. However, using Bokanovsky’s process, one bud turns into ninety-six buds, and every bud will grows into a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult, making up to ninety-six human beings where only one grew before! Student 1: But why would we want that? Director: Why would we want that?! Are you serious? This process is the basis of social stability! Here, Henry, do tell them. Henry: We can now have 96 identical twins working 96 identical machines! So efficient! Director: Exactly. And here we come to the Predestination Room. The workers here categorize where each embryo should go and then they are sent over here to…the Embryo Store! Students 1-3: Ooh! Henry: Impressive, right? These embryo jars move at the perfect pace so that they arrive at the decanting room exactly when they are ready to come out! And throughout this well-planned trip, they undergo the proper procedures so that they are decanted as freemartins, miners, space workers, Alphas, Betas, etc., just as their labels instruct. Student 2: And lower castes get stunted by adding alcohol correct? *“ADD A DROP” SONG* They told me Add a drop, add a drop, Oh add a little drop, Of Alcohol (Ba-dum bum bum) Give the fetus alcohol, Tell you why, To make three lower castes out of five. Gammas and Deltas and Epsilons too, Conditioned so we like what we do! They told me Shake it up, Shake it up, Oh shake the fetus up, Shake it up (Ba-dum bum bum) (Not the bridge, same tune as the first and last verse) Steady as a person, On the ground <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Working on rockets, up or down <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Never lose balance for a second or two, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Conditioned so I like what I do! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They told me <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Warm it up, warm it up, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Oh warm the fetus up, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Warm it up, (Ba-dum bum bum) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I hate the cold so, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tell you why, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Chilly X-rays du-ring month five <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When I get cold, I don’t know what to do, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Conditioned so I like what I do! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They told me <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Add a drop, add a drop, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Oh add a little drop <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Of Alcohol (Ba-dum bum bum)

Director: //Henry exits.// Next we will see the Neo-Pavlovian Conditioning Room. Ooh, watch this; we are just in time for some shock conditioning. //Babies are shocked// Fantastic! Now they’ll forever be safe from books and botany! They’ll hate the country, but love country sports. How beneficial to our economy. Student 2: Brilliant! Director: Let me tell you a little story about a boy named Reuben. One night he went to sleep with the radio on, and while sleeping a speech was broadcasted in a different language. In the morning, little Reuben could perfectly recite the speech to his parents. //Students gasp//. (You see, they still had parents back then.) That’s how hypnopaedia was discovered, and we have been using it to instill basic morals ever since! Let us listen in for a moment; I think right now they’re listening to Elementary Class Consciousness. Let’s listen in. Hypnopaedia Voice: ...wear grey, Betas wear mulberry, Gammas wear green, Deltas wear khaki, and Epsilons wear black. I’m glad I’m not an Alpha, they work too hard. I love being a Beta… Director: These sayings are repeated over and over and over until they begin to be a part of the child’s own mind! It’s practically flawless! And now we will go on out to view where the children play. //All head towards exit but don’t get there.// Did you know that for a long time, even after our Ford, children were forbidden to engage in erotic play? Student 3: No way! Hahahah how inappropriate! Mustapha Mond: Indeed. Director: Controller! What a pleasure! Boys, this is Mustapha Mond, the world controller himself! //Students gasp in awe.// Mustapha Mond: Thank you director. I’ll take it from here. History, my children, is bunk. Do you know what life used to be like? Homes, full of family, brothers, sisters, mothers! Cramp dark places, odd smells, fear, love, terror! It was positively awful! Pleasure was restricted and pain was real! That is why we have destroyed anything that would make your life emotionally difficult! Feelings, books, religion, all gone. Think on it, have any of you faced a troubling time or obstacle? Student 1: Well, one time, this hot babe I was maccin on made me wait a whole month before letting me holla. It made me feel terrible! Mustapha Mond: Of course it did. That is why we avoid any harsher obstacles in your life. You are given a wonderful world to live in where everyone is happy. At first no one was so keen on this, but after the Nine Years War, there was no doubt that this is what we needed. Now we have soma, happiness, and everyone belongs to everyone. Perfect stability. // Scene 2: Men’s Changing Room (Over to the side) // Henry: Feelies tonight Assistant Predestinator? Assistant: Indeed, Henry. Yourself? Henry: No, I’m going out with Lenina Crowne. Assistant: Lenina? Hmm, I feel like I’ve heard of her before. Henry: You should try her if you haven’t. She’s awfully pneumatic! Assistant: I think I will! Thanks! Oh hello, Bernard! You look a little upset, care for some soma? Bernard: No! Get away from me! Henry: Haha, my good fellow we were just helping you! A gramme is better than a damn! //The assistant and Henry exit, chuckling.// Bernard: Treating women like pieces of meat! Despicable! // Scene 3: Women’s Changing Room (In front of curtain) // Lenina: Hello Fanny! What’s your plan for tonight? Fanny: Hey. Not so much, I may be getting a Pregnancy Substitute. Lenina: Already? Good luck! Fanny: Thank you dear. What’s in store for you tonight? Lenina: Going out with Henry. Fanny: Henry Foster?! Again?! But you’ve been going out with him for ages! It’s been almost a few months! Dearie, I do so disapprove. Lenina: I know, I know, I can’t help it. I don’t feel much like being promiscuous right now. Fanny: Well you simply must! It just isn’t normal to have one guy for more than a few weeks! Lenina: I suppose you’re right. I have been considering going to New Mexico with Bernard. Fanny: Bernard Marx? Well that’s an odd choice. You could have anyone, and you choose him? You know, there’s that rumor that he had liquor dropped into his blood surrogate as an embryo… Lenina: I have heard that, and I think it’s a vicious rumor! I refuse to believe it. He’s so small and nice looking. Fanny: Do what you choose darling, but do switch it up a bit, it’s starting to look quite odd you and Henry always being together. Lenina: Don’t you worry, I will. Good luck with the Pregnancy Substitute! Fanny: Thanks. And you enjoy yourself! //Both exit.// __ ACT II __ (After a pleasant flight, Lenina and Bernard find themselves in a hotel at Santa Fe. A lovely room that Lenina absolutely adores)

Lenina: This is a lot better than the North Pole! //Walking around excitedly// Oh how I wish we could stay here

Bernard: Enjoy yourself because the Reservation won’t be as pleasant. You should only go if you're ready to be shocked. There won’t be any of the modern technology you’ve grown to love. Do you even know that children are still born there?

Lenina: Oh it can’t be that bad //(She answers quickly)// … I think I can handle it (//now unsure)//

Bernard: Very well then. Enjoy yourself and we’ll leave in the morning.

//Stage Fades to black//

//At the Reservation an epsilon-plus porter takes Bernard’s card and they enter.//

Warden: …560000 km divided into four distinct sub-reservations, each surrounded by a high tension wire…

Bernard: //whispering to Lenina// Oh no! I think I left the tap on at my house!

Warden: To touch the fence is instant death. There is no escape for the savage Reservation.

Bernard to Lenina: Perhaps we ought to think of going

//Lenina pops some soma//

Warden: How many people live on the reservation? You may ask. I would reply that we simply do not know. We can only guess

//They get away at last and Bernard gets to the telephone//

Bernard: Hemholtz! Finally. I need a favor…I need you to get to my house and turn off the tap…yes the tap in the bathroom…thank you very much. I owe you one…//A disappointed look crosses Bernard’s Face..//.What!?...So it’s actually decided?...Did he mention Iceland!?...Ford! Iceland…

(Bernard hangs the phone up angrily)

Lenina: Here. Was and will make me ill, I take a gram and only am.

//Bernard takes 4 tablets. They Walk in the rest house. Lights go Dark.//

//Bernard, Lenina, and the tour guide are waking to the pueblo.//

Lenina: Queer. Very queer. I don’t like this place and I don’t like that man (//She pointed to the tour guide)// Oh my Ford, he smells so bad!

…I wish we brought the plane. I hate walking.

I feel so small at the bottom of a hill.

//The tour guide go into a house to get instructions//

//Two wild savages run by with snakes in their hands.//

Lenina: What the? How can they live like this?

Bernard: Just stay calm.

Lenina: Oh Ford! What on earth is wrong with that man!? (Points to old man)

Bernard: Relax. He's just old. The World State doesn't allow us to be like that.

Lenina: Oh my. But it's just so WRONG!

//Lenina reaches in her pocket//

Lenina: No! I forgot my soma!

Tour Guide: Come.

//They walk for a little bit to find themselves on a terrace. They can see a crowd of Savages. Drums are playing. They are singing and going in circles faster and faster.*”CIRCLE OF LIFE” SONG* A leader pulls out snakes and threw them in the middle of the square. They slowly raise an image of an eagle and a man on a cross. A boy steps out of the crowd and walks in the heap of snakes. A man with a whip comes out and lashes the boy. Twice, thrice, four times, five, six times round.//

Lenina: Stop! Oh stop them!

//The drums beat faster and soon the square emptied. Only the boy remained.//

Young Savage: Hullo. Good-morrow…I ought to have been there. Why wouldn’t they let me be the sacrifice? I could have taken more. //Ashamed, he turned away.//

Lenina: You wanted to be hit with the whip?

Young Savage: To please Pookong and Jesus.

Bernard: Who are you? You don't look like the others.

Young Savage: My mother, Linda, came from the Otherplace, with a man long ago but then she had gone to the mountains with him and had fallen down and hit her head.

Bernard: Yes go on. Go on.

Yung Savage: A hunter found her and took her to the pueblo. The man who was my father, Tomakin…Linda never saw again. He must have gone back to the other place

(Bernard and Lenina follow the savage)

//Inside a house…//

Young Savage: Linda!

(//Linda, a fat, old, toothless, woman walks out and grabs Lenina.//

Linda: Oh Ford. Ford!

//Lenina breaks away as fast as she could//)

Linda: Your clothes are amazing! I haven’t seen clothes like this in years. Real acetate silk! I still have my clothes. They have holes of course but such a lovely bandolier – though I must say your green morocco is even lovelier. I suppose John told you what I had to suffer – not a gram of soma to be had. So instead, a man I had, Pope, gave me mescal. *Takes a sip of mescal.* Ugh, horrible! Anyway, everything is different here. It’s like living with lunatics. Here, nobody’s supposed to belong to more than one person. It’s wickedly anti-social. But my John was still a great provider, even though the others were so beastly to him.

//Outside the house//

Bernard: I want you to tell me everything John. As far back as you can remember.

*”LEAN ON ME” SONG*

Lenina: Oh my Ford! Can we please leave!

Bernard: Yes, soon, but we will be taking Linda and John.

John: You want us to come back with you to the Other Place?

Bernard: Yes we do. __ Act III __

** Scene 1 **

** DHC ** // (conversing with young students) // : As you can clearly see here throughout the room-

** Bernard ** ( // interrupting // ): Morning Director! You wanted me to come and see you when I got back from my vacation?

** DHC ** : Ah, Mr. Marx, we need to have a talk. Now.

** Bernard ** : About? (grinning)

** DHC ** : Everyone, look at this man. He defies society, Our Ford. He has abused all of our trusts in his unorthodox being, and therefore I suggest he be sent to Iceland, where he may amend his ways. Do you have anything to say in your defense against these accusations?

** Bernard ** : Yeah. I do.

** DHC ** ( // amused // ): Oh? Do tell.

** Bernard ** : If you wish. *”MEET YOUR FAMILY” SONG*

( // Linda and John walk onto the stage // )

** Linda ** : Thomas..... Is that really.... you?

** John ** : My father!

**Scene3:**

** John ** : Where is my mother? Is there any chance for her to live?!

** Nurse ** : Mother…? You mean Linda? There is absolutely no chance for her or anyone to live when they are sent here.

** John ** : Uh..

** Nurse ** : Are you ok? Do you feel ill?

** John ** : She’s my mother. That’s my mother that’s dying right now… So where is she? Show me where she is!

**Savage**: I beg of you, listen to me. Do not take this horrible stuff. It is poison.

**Savage**: Poison to the soul as well as the body!

**Alpha**: Will you just let me get on with my distribution?

**Savage**: Never! Throw it all away it is poison!

**Savage**: I want to bring you to freedom!

**Savage**: Do you like being slaves? Do you like being babies? Puking babies? Yes, puking! Don’t you want to be free men? Do you even understand what manhood and freedom are? Well? Don’t you? I’m going to teach you. You’ll be free now!

//(Bernard and Hemholtz arrive as the Savage throws the soma all over the place)//

**Savage**: YOU ARE FREE! YOU ARE FREE!

//(The Deltas move as a mob and attack the Savage. Hemholtz jumps in and defends the Savage. Bernard stays on the side hesitant, debating on whether to help or not.)//

**Bernard**: //(As the police run by)// Help! Help! Help! Quick! They need your help!

//(Bernard gets shot by a water pistol. A voice from the Synthetic Music Box music box speaks. It tells everyone to be happy and be at peace. The police shoot soma vapor into the air. The mob of Deltas becomes calm.)//

**Police**: Come with us quietly.

**Savage**: Ok, we won’t be a problem.

**Police**: //(As they pass Bernard)// Are you friends with these two?

**Bernard**: Yes…

** Police ** : Come with us then.

 * * “RUN THIS TOWN” SONG* **

// (In Mustapha Mond’s study) //

** Mond: ** So I’m guessing you don’t like civilization,

** John: ** Not one bit! The only good part is the music.

** Mond: ** Sometimes a thousand twanging instruments will hum about my ears and sometimes voices.

** John: ** You know Shakespeare! But I thought reading was forbidden…

** Mond: ** Not for me! I make the rules so I can break them.

** John: ** But if you like Shakespeare, why are people not allowed to read him?

** Mond: ** Shakespeare is old. People like new things. Plus they wouldn’t understand Shakespeare, they don’t have monogamous relationships.

** John: ** Well let me just say those Feelies are creepy! And the twins too; it’s like a horror movie!

** Mond: ** Hey, happiness is never grand. On a different note, Bernard and Helmholtz, you will be sent to an island for your rejection of our great society.

** Bernard: ** WHAT?! I didn’t do anything! Punish them, not me! // (Kicking and screaming) //

** Mond ** : // (snaps fingers and 3 men appear) // Give Bernard a nice dose of soma to calm his nerves. // (Bernard is dragged away) //

** Mond ** : I’m actually jealous of you. You will meet the most interesting people on the island. Sometimes I wish I chose an island over being a controller. Happiness is a hard master. Anyways, Helmholtz, where would you like to go: Hawaii, Aruba, Jamaica?

** Helmholtz ** : Actually I'd prefer bad weather. It may help me find myself and write about something meaningful.

** Mond ** : The Falkland Islands it is then!

(Helmholtz leaves)

** John ** : I just don’t understand why life is so easy here. It’s sickening! I don’t want comfort, I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin.

** Mond ** : You just claimed the right to be unhappy. All those things you want come with sickness, old age, and hunger.

** John ** : I claim them all!

Excuse me for not taking my hat off. It’s a bit heavy. John: (//scowling//) What do you want? Reporter: Just a few words from you, Mr. Savage. Just tell our readers why you came here. What made you leave London so very suddenly? And, of course, that whip. We’re all crazy to know about that whip.
