invisible tears - a sung through music theatre work

 
Act 1
 
Scene 11


The Blue Lady

The climax of Act One reveals Cara's other role as an exotic dancer and escort at Club Expose. As she does her act, Chumley is just another of those faces she has come to recognize in the crowded bar.

Lights up on back screen as Cara enters.

Lights up on Chumley as he sits at the bar as an onlooker.

Chumley:
Hey baby I really missed you
Say later I'll buy you a drink

Cara:
Sure if you're paying
There's no point in laying
Awake just dreaming of me

(Cara leaves to get ready for her dance)

Chumley:
She's got me panting at her door
But Chumley has the key
The price is right
This is the night
For my blue luxury

(Cara dances)

Once she finishes her performance, Cara strides over to the bar. As the light fades on this scene we see the attention Cara draws from her audience, and Chumley, also under her spell, is seen lighting her cigarette. Meanwhile, Jeremy waits for her at their bus-stop, unaware of Cara's double-life.
