SCENE ONE
{JULIANNA, MOLIERE}

JULIANNA
Good evening to you, our esteemed playwright!
Come join me for here. Let’s enjoy the moonlight
And chat a little… Before you must go.

MOLIERE
Go home? Finally. I’m sick of this show.
I played to win, but they all want romance.
Can’t they see the simple answer?

JULIANNA
                                                      Let’s dance!

MOLIERE
I’ll pass, thank you. I’d like to go back now.
To France. To home. I’ve got plays to endow
With my signature snark.

JULIANNA
                                                  Just one small dance?
Grant me at least that, then you’ll go to France!
I do promise! Would a maid ever lie?

MOLIERE
Maid? Since when?

JULIANNA
                                     Moliere, look me in the eye.
Don’t tell me you don’t remember my name!
I was the one that brought your play such fame!
Everyone loves the witty maid, don’t they?
It’s I! Dorine! No, please! Don’t turn away!

MOLIERE
What world is this where characters are real?
Improbable.. Impossible.. Unreal!

JULIANNA
And yet here I stand, charm and wit in tact.
Oh my, your smile! It looks so cracked!
In this Realm, my kind live free and happy.
But that’s enough chat. Let’s go. Be snappy!
