(INTRO MUSIC) 

NARRATOR 

Y2K Take 2. Bonus episode 3. Radio interview with (beep) from (long beep), a drama school in London. May 2015. 

Scene B3:1 

(EXT. Daytime. Quiet city street. The DIRECTOR is being interviewed.) 

DIRECTOR 

Ahh… Sorry - who? Ina… Ina Fischer? Oh, yeah, I remember her. Called herself something else in those days, what was it now... Tip of my tongue... (beat) Nope. Flew away. Must have been, what... Seven or eight years ago? More?... What was that? (surprised) Fifteen? Well. Time sure does fly, doesn’t it? Must have been having fun. Eh, you know, many students passing through the school since then. I can’t… Can’t keep track of them all, now can I? Always good when they go on to make some noise in the world, though, in one way or another. Not all of ‘em in acting, mind you, a lot of ‘em in completely different fields. Writers and directors, and TV presenters... That sort of thing. (thinks) Actually I’ve had lots of famous students actually. Weren’t famous when they were students, o’course. Most of them. Actually I did teach a child star once, they were awful. Thought they were the center of the universe... What was that? (snort) Oh I won’t tell you their name, that’d be all over the tabloids in a hot minute. Hm? Nah. Keeping some secrets. Ina, though, nothing bad to say about her. She never could shake that accent, but, yeah, turns out she did all right anyway, didn’t she? These days, everyone wants authenticity, don’t they?(emphasis) Natural accents. Bit of a bummer for someone like me, you know, I mean (changes accent)I’ve got my Christian Slater voice I can, you know, put on, (changes accent) and, like, ah got mah Southern Belle (changes accent) and my New York, but nobody seems to want that anymore (changes accent) and, you know, like, I’ve got Scottish coming out of all sorts of places, my Sean Connery, I could do a female version of that (changes back to own accent) But yeah, not as much- Not as much demand for accents anymore- What was that? Right. Ina Fischer, yeah. Practically a movie star, yes? Well, good on her! Not everyone does as well as that, do they? Most of ‘em just go ‘round endless auditions and starve, y’know? S’a tough life, acting truly. Still. It’s the best fun in the world. I love it. Nothing like it. Do you know, once I played the Mona Lisa in this kind of punk rock installation in one of the royal palaces, we ripped up- you know we made it rain fish, and I was there in this beautiful gown with, you know like, like Jason’s technicolour dreamcoat but just gold, with blood all over it, and ah, the atmosphere, you could cut it with a knife… And we did. We basically just cut most things. With a knife. But- You know art is so beautiful and, all the challenges I’ve had, you know, as an actor, I-What? Ina. No. No dirt on her. (laughs) Not that I’d tell you if there were! Can’t go ‘round talking about people to the press, that’d be rude. Sorry to disappoint. (footsteps start walking away) Wait! (calls) Where are you- (calls louder) I remember now! Kat! Called herself Kat! 

(running after reporter, calling, out of breath) Wait! So unfit… Ina Fischer! Called herself- (reporter has stopped, DIRECTOR stops, lets out breath) Ah. Kat. (smiles) Gotcha! Haven’t told you about my play yet! It’s all about the inequality of time, and as you grow older, time goes faster, and as you’re young it’s all about grabbing life by the testes and just squeezing- No. it is not. I didn’t mean that! I mean, it’s about the hierarchy of the patriarchy with the matriarchy and are we existing now or are we living in our own tomorrow with yesterday’s dreams? You know? And we’re going to perform it all in monster trucks, in Peterborough, in England...

(Fade out.)
