Act I Scene I - A blasted broom cupboard, Paris

Enter 3 WITCHES.

WITCH I: When shall we three meet again,
after giving Mixi pain?

WITCH II: When the sacred thread is writ

WITCH III: And Mixi's in unholy shit

WITCH I: Of what does he his fast food make?

WITCH II: Eye of newt and tongue of snake!

WITCH III: But, lo! He comes!

WITCHES Fair is foul and foul is fair,
Let us flee this foetid air.

(Exeunt)

Act I Scene II - The Broom Cupboard

Enter MIXI eating a Big McBeth Unhappy Meal.

MIXI: Is this a gherkin I see before me? Come, let me clutch thee. I
have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Nay? Wouldst thou fall upon
the floor and be trampled? So be it.
Yet to write, or not to write. That is the question. Whether it is
nobler in the mind to suffer the taunts of those who understand me
not, and yet to tell the world the truth that it cannot bear, aye,
there's the rub. But write I shall. Let them that hear me make their
own construe.

Enter SPIRIT OF LORD MORMONS.

MORMONS: Construe is a verb, not a noun, thou beslubbering
common-kissing measle!

MIXI: Dost thou have a source for that, vile demon of the air?

Enter spirit of DUKE O'BREATHNACH:

O'BREATHNACH: Why dost thou converse with that trunk of humours, that
bolting-hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel of dropsies, that
huge bombard of sack, that stuffed cloak-bag of guts, that roasted
Manningtree ox with pudding in his belly, that reverend vice, that
grey Iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in years? I gave up
bloody ages ago.

Enter spirit of MARTIN van HOLLAND

MARTIN: Thou art so leaky that we must leave thee to thy sinking.
Hence, horrible villain, or I'll spurn thine eyes like balls before
me; I'll unhair thy head, Thou shalt be whipp'd with wire, and
stew'd'in brine, smarting in lingering pickle.

MIXI: And yet I am right.

MORMONS: Right me no rights, thou puking swag-bellied bladder!

Enter spirit of CHANCELLOR OF TESCO:

TESCO: What have we here, thou rank pottle-deep moldwarp!

MIXI: Fie! These demons do torment me always!

Excellent!

MIXI: I am in pedantry
Stepp'd in so far that, should I carp no more
Returning were as tedious as grant flaw

Damn you, I was going to audition for the role!!

I love witches. When I was a little girl bedtime stories had to have witches or I wasn't
interested. To this day my favourite plays are Macbeth and The Tempest... :)))

Did you ever read The Witches by Roald Dahl? My daughter loves it, but she
can't sleep afterwards.

No. I love The Third Witch, by Rebecca Reisert. It's Macbeth told by the witches, so to
speak. Literally anyone could be a witch, in those times... :))
