The Man's World
Actors: Dimi; the tired woman. Massy; her inquisitor. A woman arrived a group gathering early before the meeting started, very tired and just starting to doze. Massy: Dimi hi. What are you doing? (ASKED SMILING). Dimi: Massy, boo, don’t mind me o. I’m so tired. Massy: Why are you tired? Dimi: We had some visitors last night and they stayed on drinking and partying till late. Massy: Wow! You really must have had a good time... Dimi: Oh, no, do not misunderstand me. I was not part of it. I mean, I was there, but it is my place to prepare and serve the food and drinks. They were my husband’s friends and they all stayed up very late and then when they were done and went to bed, I had to still stay up tidying up after them. Plus of course, since they were so noisy, they kept the children awake and I also had to stay up till they, the kids, particularly the last one that is only a year old, slept. Massy: Oh, don’t I know how those gathering can be. Just rest a while more before others come.
