Go On With Your Wind: A Parody in Scarlet

By Grey Forge LeFey

A gut-busting new stage parody of the cinematic classic Gone with the Wind.

Spoilitt O'Hairy is torn between a fantasy relationship with ineffectual Freshly Wilted and her heart's tumultuous desire for the scoundrel Thrett Cutlet. Along with Melancholy Cameltoe, Aunt FlippyFlop, Mamsy, and an incomparable cast of characters, the complete 4 hour plot is skewered in an irreverent 2 Act play.

Antiquated social mores are further lampooned with gender switching in the lead roles and Mamsy's asides to the audience about working as a black actress in the 1930s. Audiences howled at scenes like Spoilett beating a Yankee soldier to death with a ventriloquist dummy and the over-the-top tragedy scene of Baby Boo Cutlett stampeding her horse through the mansion. Whether or not you're a fan of Gone with the Wind, you'll find that this send up, in the tradition of Mel Brooks, is hilarious and a bit naughtier than the original.

A tip on reading scripts: You will be disappointed if you expect a script to read like a novel, with narrative apprising you of all the heaving bosoms, futuristic technology, and bloody corpses. Since scripts are vehicles for performance, they consist of mostly dialogue. An audience will SEE and HEAR the action unfold; therefore, there isn't a lot of specified detail in a script that will be visually interpreted by a director, the actors, the costume designers, the set crew, etc. Reading a script takes a lot more imagination than reading a novel chock-full of description. It may help to visualize actors you love delivering the lines, and settings you're familiar with. If you're not at home with how theatre or film is crafted, reading a script may not be your cup of tea. Just saying, but you are certainly most welcome to try mine I do hope you enjoy it.
