ACT I - PARIS AND HELEN RUN TO TROY.

The Cast of Characters can be found at the end of the play with suggestions for doubling characters if needed.

The stage has large wall upstage which is the wall of Troy. It can even be a small wall so the actors' heads can look over it. The land and shore outside Troy is in the left part of the stage. The ocean is offstage in the audience. Before the play, an actor (Poseidon) can warm up the audience by having them pretend to be the ocean and PARIS and HELEN can sail through them. Poseidon has complete control of the ocean audience. They could even do battle with some Spartan Greeks before the play as PARIS and HELEN flee. The audience should be divided into two sides: Spartan and Trojan. At different times during the play, the Spartan and Trojan sides of the audience will cheer for their people (ATHENA directs the Spartan side. ATHENA says 'This is...' and the audience cheers 'Sparta!'. HELEN leads the other side in the cheer. HELEN says, 'Goooo...' and audience yells 'Troy!'). You should practice this at the start of the play. The final Trojan cheer goes to PARIS and HELEN as they successfully make their way to the left side of the stage from the ocean. PARIS and HELEN act like goofy teenagers.

PARIS

Wow, we like totally ditched those Greeks. Eat our waves, dudes.

HELEN

You were like, so totally brave.

PARIS

I know. And you're, like... sooo pretty.

HELEN

I know. Are you really a prince?

PARIS

Prince of the greatest city ever... Troy!

Music can play as lights come up on the walls of Troy. The walls appear like they are made of gold (use glitter).

HELEN

It's pretty.

PARIS

Not as pretty as you.

HELEN

I know. Aren't your walls like totally... tall?

PARIS

The tallest and the strongest. They say Poseidon himself helped build them.

HELEN

No way...

PARIS

Way!

HELEN

Cool!

PARIS

Want to see inside?

HELEN

Do I ever.

CASSANDRA rushes out and stops them.

CASSANDRA

Beware!

HELEN

Who's that?

PARIS

My sister, Cassandra. What's wrong now? Somebody going to kidnap a puppy again?

CASSANDRA

Don't bring Helen inside, Paris. She will only bring doom on our city. Dooooom!

PARIS

Oh, come on, Cassandra. Get out of the way.

CASSANDRA

Doooooooooom!

PARIS pushes CASSANDRA out of the way and they go inside the wall.

HELEN

Freak.

CASSANDRA stomps her foot and gets all pouty. APOLLO appears down left and watches her.

CASSANDRA

How come nobody ever listens to me?

APOLLO is giggling now.

CASSANDRA (cont.)

Apollo? Is that you? Get over here.

CASSANDRA runs up and grabs the giggling APOLLO. She starts hitting him and he stops laughing.

APOLLo

What's with you?

CASSANDRA

I thought you gave me the power to see the future?

APOLLO

I did. Didn't you predict where that puppy would be found?

CASSANDRA

But nobody listened to me.

APOLLO giggles again.

CASSANDRA (CONT.)

And now I see the walls of Troy falling down. And no one will listen to me about that either.

APOLLO

Didn't you read the fine print of your wish?

CASSANDRA

Fine print? What fine print?

APOLLO pulls a piece of paper from his pocket. It's notebook paper with doodles.

CASSANDRA (CONT.)

I can't read this. It's a bunch of drawings. It's all Greek to me.

APOLLO

Look here. Underneath the unicorn dancing on the rainbow. It says that you will be able to see the future, but no one will listen to you.

CASSANDRA

What? How could you do this to me?

APOLLO

Because it's funny.

CASSANDRA

You gods think you're so smart. Well, I know what happens to you.

APOLLO

You do? Oh, you do. What?

CASSANDRA

I'm not telling.

APOLLO

Oh, come on.

CASSANDRA

No.

APOLLO

Please.

CASSANDRA

See you, never, Apollo.

CASSANDRA goes back inside Troy. APOLLO mocks her.

APOLLO

'You gods think you're so smart.' I'll show her. She won't think it's funny when we have a war!

APOLLO pulls out a cell phone. ZEUS appears in the audience. He can have a funny ring tone.

ZEUS

Zeus here. Talk to me, baby.

APOLLO

So what you doing?

ZEUS

Nothing. You?

APOLLO

Want to play war?

ZEUS

Sure, why not. Who you want to play with?

APOLLO

Troy.

ZEUS

Really? I don't know. I promised them protection.

APOLLO

Promises? I thought you were the all powerful one. You don't have to make promises. I guess I'm calling the wrong guy. Maybe I should call Athena instead. She's a real warrior.

ZEUS

Wait one minute...

Thunder and lightning (lights go up and down). APOLLO smiles. ZEUS comes up on stage. Maybe he can be helped up by slaves or clouds?

APOLLO

Yes?

ZEUS

Well, you know I have a special place in my heart for Troy. I mean they have my boy on their side.

APOLLO

Your boy? How many boys do you have? There's Ajax, Achilles, Hercules...

ZEUS

Not my actual boys... I mean Hector is a true hero.

APOLLO

I know. That's why I picked Troy!

ZEUS and APOLLO lead Trojan side of the audience in a cheer:

ZEUS and APOLLO

Gooooo!

AUDIENCE

Troy!

ZEUS

So let's call Athena. She'll take your challenge.

ZEUS calls on his cell phone. ATHENA is in the back of the audience picking a fight with an usher.

ATHENA

I don't need a ticket you jerk. I'm in the play!

ATHENA's phone rings. Her ring tone is something like 'The Warrior' by Scandal or the Rocky theme. Stage lights dim a bit and a spotlight shows on ATHENA if possible.

ATHENA (CONT.)

What?!

ZEUS

Hello Athena... how are you today?

ATHENA

Horrible. Not one fight or battle and it's almost dinner!

ZEUS

I've got good news. Apollo wants to play war.

ATHENA

Sign me up!

ATHENA walks up to the stage and hops up.

ATHENA (CONT.)

Which side did you pick Apollo?

Dramatic music. Lights come up on Troy.

APOLLO

Troy!

ZEUS gets audience to cheer.

ZEUS

Goooo!

AUDIENCE

Troy!

ATHENA

Fine. We'll play war. But I get to pick anyone I want, right?

APOLLO

Sure.

ATHENA

Then I pick Sparta!

ATH
