Brave New World…The Musical! (Period 7)
Act One
Scene One
[DHC to Be Our Guest; The Director speaks as the music plays and begins the song. At the Hatchery
and Conditioning Factory.]
[Students and Director leave]
Scene Two
[Mustafa Mond, DHC and the students are on one section of the stage while Lenina and Fanny and
Henry talking to Benito on the phone of whom Bernard is overhearing are in another section of the
stage]
Director: Well what a pleasant surprise it’s the Resident Controller for Western Europe his fordship
Mustafa Mond. Now be sure to give him your full attention, this is really a special treat.
Mustafa: Now I am sure you all remember our Ford’s beautiful saying, “History is bunk”. That’s why
you’re taught no history, but now the time has come…. (Director looks worried) O Don’t worry I won’t
tell them what they can’t handle.
Henry: [on the phone] Why yes I do believe I’m going to play some obstacle golf this evening. With who
you say?…I believe I’ll ask Lenina Crowne, she’s always a fun girl to have.
[Bernard over hears and rolls his eyes]
Mond: Now try to picture this…living with one’s family...having a mother controlling your every move
always saying “My baby, my baby!” yes, you may well shudder, and do you even know what a ‘home’
was?
Lenina: Hello Fanny
Fanny: Hi Lenina, any big plans for tonight?
Lenina: Yes I plan on playing some obstacle golf, if Henry ever asks me.
Fanny: With who?
Lenina: Henry foster.
Fanny: You mean to tell me you’re still going out with Henry Foster?
Mond: Home—a few small rooms, no air, no space, an under sterilized prison I tell you!
[one student faints] Yes, this history is enough to make one ill, which is why it is so important that our
Ford recognized the issues with family life and monogamy and romance. But everyone belongs to
everyone else here, and that is the way we like it.
2
Henry: [still on the phone]WHAT? You’ve never had Lenina Crown. You should take her to a feely
sometime, but not tonight…tonight she’s mine.
Bernard: [disgusted aside] How can they talk about her that way, as if she was a piece of meat? Lenina
deserves better than that.
Henry: Hey Bernard why the long face? Here take some soma it will cure even your sadness (Laugh)
[Bernard runs off the stage]
Lenina: Yes, but after all it’s only been four months.
Fanny: ONLY FOUR MONTHs!! That’s one thing, but the real question is has there been anyone else
besides Henry Foster? It’s not good form to stay with one man too long. You’re too young Lenina. This is
wrong, especially when the D.H.C. feels so strongly against this. He would be furious if he knew about it.
Lenina: I know but I just haven’t been feeling very promiscuous lately. I don’t know, maybe I’ll accept
Bernard’s invitation to the Savage Reservation. I have always wanted to go there.
Fanny: You’re kidding right?
Lenina: Why not? He’s an alpha plus.
Fanny: But they say he doesn’t like obstacle golf, and spends time alone, and there’s even a chance
someone made a mistake and put alcohol in his blood surrogate and that’s why he’s so stunted!
Lenina: oh what nonsense! I’ve decided I’m going to accept his invitation.
Scene 3
[Both Lenina and Bernard are in an overly crowded elevator.]
Lenina: Is that you Bernard?! [Bernard sharply turns around and looks at Lenina while others
surrounding them begin to stare]. I’ve been looking all over for you! I want to talk to you about our New
Mexico plans!
Bernard: [turning red and appearing embarrassed] Can we talk about this later…maybe, when fewer
people are around?
Lenina: [in a hurried voice] I would LOVE to go with you! I mean, if you still want me?
Bernard: Please Lenina, not now! Maybe we could discuss this later, in a more private
place? [The two of them are now standing alone] Isn’t it lovely?
Lenina: Yes, it is perfect, but Bernard, I’ve got to go; Henry doesn’t like it when I keep him waiting. Be
sure to let me know when we are leaving for the Savage Reservation!
Scene 4
3
[Henry and Lenina are on their date on the Obstacle Golf and spend the night at Henry’s]
[Song Beta Girl]
Scene 5
(Next day)
Lenina and Bernard
(out)
Lenina: (to herself) Bernard is just standing over there all gloomy and confused. Every time I try to get
him to take soma, he refuses. I want to have fun! We’re about to set off in his helicopter to go back
home; I really hope this helicopter ride is less awkward than what it is now.
(To Bernard): Come on, Bernard, take some soma and live free!
(Helicopter starts)
Bernard: This is NOT the time for this, Lenina.\
*silence for awhile*
Lenina: I don’t understand this silence. Please take me away from it! I need noise!
Bernard: I enjoy the silence; it makes me feel like I’m someone, not just like everybody else.
Lenina: You FRUSTRATE ME. Just take some soma and let loose for a bit. You need it.
Bernard: You frustrate me! I’ll take the soma when we get off the helicopter. Just give it up.
[Plane lands; Bernard takes a large amount of soma…]
Scene 6
[Next day]
[Bernard enters Mustafa Mond’s office after knocking]
Bernard: Director, I need your signature for a permit
Mond: (Astonished) For? The New Mexico Reservation? It’s been quite a while hasn’t it? Twenty years,
O Ford. Twenty years ago I was getting permission to go to the Savage Reservation me and this BetaMinus for a summer holiday. We had a splendid time but it did not turn out well. The day started well
but quickly changed. We went up the mountain for a picnic and when I woke up she was gone. A storm
was coming and the horses were going crazy and I hurt my knee. I could barely walk but I searched and
searched but I could not find her- without soma! I went back and the next day we all searched for her
but she was lost. I still have nightmares about that night. It always finds me
Bernard [accusingly]: That’s terrible. You must have had a terrible shock.
4
Mustafa: oh Ford our relationship was 100% healthy nothing long drawn what so ever! In any way I have
noticed and heard your behavior outside of work is inappropriate especially for an Alpha and highly
puerile. Therefore if this behavior continues I will ask for your transference to a Sub-Centre most likely
to Iceland! Have a nice trip.
[Bernard leaves exulted. He sees Helmholtz he ignores him and ends scene]
Act Two
Scene 1
[Bernard is in front of the curtain talking to Helmholtz on the phone]
Bernard: Helmholtz, you have to help me. Can you turn off my cologne tap? I accidentally left it on
Helmholtz: Sure Bernard, I’ll take care of it later, but there is something I have to tell you. The DHC really
wants to send you to Iceland because of your unusual behavior
[Lenina enters as Bernard gets angry, and hangs up the phone]
Bernard [mumbling]: Ford, ford, ford, why is happening to me?
Lenina: What’s wrong, honey?
Bernard [dramatically]: The freaking DHC is going to send me to Iceland
Lenina: Well, take a soma, a gramme is better than a damn
Bernard [angrily]: hell no
Lenina: was and will make me ill, I take a gramme and only am.
[Bernard rolls his eyes, and snatches the soma while walking back into main stage area]
[Curtains go up and the song Savage Reservation to Walking on Sunshine begins]
Warden: Welcome to the Savage Reservation.
Scene 2
[Curtains go up and Bernard and Lenina enter the savage reservation]
Lenina: This is queer, VERY QUEER. I don’t like it! It Smells. UGH!! And I hate walking!!! How can they
live like this! It is so DIRTY!!!
Bernard: They have been living like this for years, so they are used to it.
[Bernard and Lenina enter the savage celebration]
Lenina: Oh Ford!! Look! [Pointing at the man getting whipped] Make them stop!
[Bernard and Lenina observe the whipping in horror. Then John enters after the whipping is over and
5
walks toward Lenina and Bernard]
John: They should have let me be the sacrifice! They could have got twice as much blood from me.
Lenina: You wanted to be whipped?
John: Yes! So that I could show them that I’m a man!
Lenina: Although you are a bit radical, there is something different about you. I just can’t seem to put
my finger on it though. [Lenina stares at him intensely until she figures it out] I know! You speak perfect
English!
John: Well, my mom isn’t like the other moms here, she is from somewhere else.
Lenina: If she is not from here, then where is she from?
John: Well, the story is best explained by my mother… I will call her right now. LINDA!!
[Linda enters. When she sees Lenina, she begins to smile from cheek to cheek.]
Linda: Oh ford! [ Linda embraces Lenina and then begins to admire her face and clothes] A civilized face
and the clothes, THE CLOTHES! I haven’t seen anything this civilized in years! Oh, I must tell you of the
horrors I had to endure. I got stranded here without any soma… NONE! All I could use to ease the pain
was mescal, which leaves me sick. I even got pregnant..PREGNANT! Me, Linda, a BETA girl!!! I couldn’t
even get an abortion in this Ford forsaken place. And it is so dirty, I mean look at me! They have no
baths, no planes, and no vibro vacuums, nothing civilized. And how was I supposed to know how to raise
and condition a child, A CHILD? They don’t have such horrendous things in the civilized world. Speaking
of horrendous things, people here don’t believe that everyone belongs to everyone! That’s just crazy!!
Lenina: Oh, you poor dear
Bernard: Wait, who did you come here with?
Linda: I came here with Thomas, but why does that matter?
Bernard: Thomas is my boss at the London Hatchery and Conditioning Center.
John: So you know my father!
Bernard: I do and if you want to meet him, I think I could arrange for you to.
Linda and John: Really?!
[ song A Brave New World to A whole New World]
[Curtains Down]
Act Three
Scene 1
[The curtain goes up, a cold light illuminates the stage, set to the scenery of the hatchery. The Director
6
has a clip board and is inspecting what appears to be a factory line were employees are working. There
are people “working” in front of the stage as well. The atmosphere is busy, at first no one notices
Bernard enter. He approaches the director.]
Bernard: Sir!
Director: Marx, back from the savage reservation I see. I have a bone to pick with you, young man.
[The Director grabs Bernard by the shoulder and thrusts him center stage into the spotlight, he throws
out his arms in a dramatic gesture and begins to speak at the crowd.]
Director: This man, this man! He will be made an example of before you all today. He bizarre and out of
the ordinary, and reflects badly on you, and I, and our entire center! A non conformist! A threat to
society! We don’t need him! No not all, we don’t need Bernard Marx and his sort of unconventional
entirely inappropriate attitudes. His refusal of Soma, his rejection of all the good we have in life! Do you
(He turns to Bernard) have any defense to offer?
Bernard: I do have some defense Sir. On the savage reservation I found something of great interest to
you that, well, perhaps it’s best if you see for yourself.
[Linda and John enter, John looks wondrously around the room the Director. Meanwhile, Linda is
ecstatic to see the director “Tomakin”]
Linda: Thomakin! Thomakin! Oh, my thomakin!
[Linda runs at the director, who is visibly repulsed by her.]
Director: No! Who are you! Agh, Agh get away from me!!!
[There is a great deal of gasping and giggling from all the employees around them. The Director is
horrified.]
Director: I- I don’t know know you!!! Stay away from me! Disgusting! Vile!
Linda: But- but it’s me! It’s Linda, it’s Linda! We went to together! You made me have a baby!
[There’s a sudden hush around the room, everything seems very serious and awkward.]
Linda: You made me a mother!
Director: No- no you’re mad! No!
John: Dad? Dad!!!
[John runs at the director and gives him huge, tackling hug. There are roars of laughter in the group
Curtain closes; director is humiliated and is glaring at Bernard.]
Scene 2
[Bernard and Helmholtz sit to the left of the stage, the right side is dark.]
7
Bernard: this is great I get to keep my job and now I’m popular. All the girls want me; I had 6 last week,
6!! Isn’t it great Helmholtz?!
Helmholtz: sure, it’s just…. You’re not the same anymore.
Bernard: oh, you’re just jealous. That’s all.
[The lighting switches to the right side of the stage where two chairs are facing the audience.
Lenina and John enter. Lenina looks quite happy and excited, John looks unsure and nervous.
Lenina and John sit down.]
Lenina: the feelies are so much fun John, I just know you’ll like them!
[John acknowledges that she is speaking to him but says nothing.]
Lenina: hold on the metal knobs on your chair, otherwise you won’t get any of the effects
[Lenina and John intently look at the upper back wall as if watching a movie. Lenina looks rather happy,
smiling and giggling, while John continues to look awkward.The feely ends…John and Lenina rise from
their seats]
Lenina: wasn’t that great?!
John: I don’t think you should see things like that…
Lenina: things like what, john?
John: Like that horrible film.
Lenina:(astonished) Horrible?.... I thought it was lovely.
John: it was shameful.
Lenina: Oh…
[Lights dim. Lenina and John walk of stage, both looking disappointed.]
Scene 3
[The scene opens to Bernard frantically calling out for John from the other side of the door. John is
sulking and stubborn, his arms crossed, angry determination on his face.]
Bernard: John! Everyone’s waiting for you.
John: Hmph. Let them wait.
Bernard: But what about the Arch-Community-Songster or Canterbury? He’s here tonight! He’s very
important, and he’s expecting to see you!
John: (In the reservation language) Ai yaa takwa! Hani! Sons eso tse-na!
[Bernard makes one last frustrated motion before slinking away, defeated. He returns to the room
where the party is held to announce that John will not be attending.]
8
Bernard: (Laughing awkwardly) Well, it looks like John the Savage won’t be, eh, joining us. He seems to
be living up to his name. I hope thaOutraged Party Goer: What?! No savage? We want the savage!
[There’s additional outraged yelling. Lenina meanwhile looks heartbroken. The scene freezes, and
Lenina steps forward for a small monologue.]
Lenina: John won’t be coming! And I wanted to see him so badly. I’ve never liked anyone as much as
John and I was hoping… Maybe he’ll say… but he’s been acting so queer. Especially at the feelies. He was
acting like he didn’t like me at all! But I know he does. Unless, maybe he didn’t come because he hates
me. Of course, that has to be it. I knew it! John hates me, I’m absolutely sure he hates me!
[The scene starts again, Lenina is moping, and Bernard looks absolutely horrified at what’s being said
about him. Voices call above the dull murmer.]
Fanny: I knew there was alcohol in his blood surrogate. In fact I knew someone who knew someone that
worked there when he was decanted and they said….
Headmistress of Eton: He really is a bit strange isn’t he and to think that….
Henry Foster: It’s too bad isn’t it? Did you know the ex-director was about ready to send him off to
Iceland.
Arch-Community-Songster: And now I must take me leave friends! (The room quiets for him). My young
friend (he says to Bernard) let me give you advice, mend your ways. Come along Lenina
[Lenina dejectedly leaves with the Arch-Community-Songster, and the other guests follow quickly,
leaving Bernard alone on stage.The scene shifts to Hemholtz, Bernard, and John. Hemholtz is reciting the
tail end of his poem.]
Hemholtz: And so I’ve gotten in some trouble for it, you see. I was about to be fired!
Bernard: What were you thinking? Writing such a poem about being alone!
John: I think it’s good. I think it’s a lot like Shakespeare. Would you like to here some of his? It’s really
good.
Hemholtz: Certainly! Be my guest.
[John begins reciting lines from Romeo & Juliet. Hemholtz is having trouble not laughing until finally..]
Hemholtz: Oh I’m sorry I’m sorry! It just. That’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard. Her mother
monitoring who she’ll have, the fact that she has a mother at all! And rotting away in a tiny room? (He
laughs loudly) It’s just… It’s too funny!
[John, angrily slams the book and storms off stage.]
9
Hemholtz: You’d have think I did something to offend him.
[The stage goes dark.]
Scene 4
[Scene four starts in John’s room where he is relaxed, reading Shakespeare. Lenina approaches his
doorway, hesitates, and then knocks.]
John: I thought you’d be coming, Hemholtz! (He swings open the door) Oh! Lenina!
Lenina: Hullo John. (She walks past him into the room) You don’t look very glad to see me.
John: Oh, Lenina, Glad? Glad doesn’t even begin. Lenina! I want, I need, to show you how worthy I am of
you, Lenina! Or rather to prove how not un-worthy I am. I need to do something!
Lenina: John, you don’t have to…
John: At Malpais, you had to bring the skin of a lion, one that you killed, to a girl to prove yourself if you
wanted to marry her. Or at least a wolf.
Lenina: But we haven’t got any lions here.
John: But I’d do anything you asked me! Anything! I’d sweep the floor if you wanted!
Lenina: But we have vacuums! It’s not necessary!
John: But I want to do something nobly for you.
Lenina: But if there are vacuum cleaners!
John: That’s not the point!
Lenina: And there’s epsilon-semi-morons to work them! Really, John, why?
John: For you, Lenina! All for you! All because I love you!
[There’s a quiet over the stage before Lenina says.]
Lenina: Do you really mean that, John?
John: I didn’t want to say it yet! This is all going wrong! Listen, Lenina, in Malpais, people get married.
Lenina: Get what?
John: Married. They promise to live together for always.
Lenina: What a horrible idea!
John: No! It’s like that in Shakespeare too, not just in Malpais! “If thou dost break her virgin knot before
all sanctimonious ceremonies may with full and holy rite…”
Lenina: What are you talking about?! First lions and vacuums, and now knots? Knots! You’re driving me
crazy, John! Just tell me if you really like me or not!
10
John: I love you more than anything.
Lenina: Then why didn’t you say so in the first place?
[Lenina and John embrace, John seems to find the situation awkward and uncomfortable. He is
reminded of the feelie and finds his morals being challenged. Lenina removes her jacket. And john
becomes wide eyed, and at first frightened. As Lenina moves towards him, he backs up unsure and
unnerved by Lenina’s advances before becoming angry at her. John grabs Lenina by the wrist as she
moves to hug him again and pushes her away.]
John: [Song Beta Whore to Hound Dog]
[Lenina runs for the bathroom, and cowers while John storms about his apartment (?) until his rage is
interrupted by his phone ringing.]
John: What?! What do you want?! … What? Oh, oh my god! I’ll be there! Oh no. Where has she been
taken? And there’s no chance? Three Park Lane, that’s it? Three? Thanks.
[John throws on his own jacket and rushes out, leaving Lenina alone in his bathroom, relieved that he
has gone.]
Scene 5
[John walks onto stage, obviously distraught. There is a nurse standing with a clip board next to a row of
bed. In the bed at the end of the row is a sleeping Linda. John approaches the nurse.]
John:[ with distress] Where is she? Is there any hope?
Nurse:[ taken aback by his rush] No, sir, there is no hope; people who come here, come her to die. Are
you feeling alright?
John: Yes, I am. Just tell me where my mother is!
[Nurse offended by the word “mother” points to the bed with Linda Right there]
John: [rushes to his mothers side, takes her looking very upset Linda.] Its okay I am here.
[A group of children come into the room. They are all dresses the same. A couple approach Linda’s bed.]
Child 1:[pointing ]Ewww!! She is all fat and wrinkly
Child 2: [to John] Why is she like that?
John:[ furious, grabs on of the children by the collar and yells] GO AWAYY!!!
[The children go away screaming. The nurse rushes over, horrified.]
Nurse: Sir, you can’t do that. You will mess up their death conditioning!
John: Just keep them away from here – it is disgraceful.
11
Linda: [moaning] Pope?
John: [forgets the nurse and hurries to her side ]No it is me, your son. John.
Linda: Pope!
John: No it is me, your son. Don’t you remember me?
Linda:[ her eyes flutter open, and exclaims a tired cry] John! [Then she begins choking]
John: [Jumps up and runs over to the nurse calling] Nurse! Help! Nurse you must help, she is dying.[ He
grabs her by the arm and pulls her to Linda shouting ]Quickly!
Nurse: Be quiet! You will upset the children!
John: Flops onto the bed and begins to cry Nooo!! Why did she have to die??
Nurse:[ looking disgusted, scolds John] Remember where you are! This is totally inappropriate. [Turns to
the children and asks sweetly Who wants a chocolate éclair? Leaves with kids
One child lingers and approaches John]
Child: Is she dead?
[John gets up, pushes the child down and walks of stage]
Scene 6
[John hurries out onto a crowded stage. He pushes his way through the mass of similarly dresses people.
The people he is pushing to get out of the hospital shout at him to “wait his turn” and “where does he
thinks he is going”. ]
Man: [A man standing on a box yells ]Soma distribution! No pushing!
John: [runs up to the man with the soma, takes the bag of soma, and call to the crowd] Lend me your
ears! This is poison! Poison to the soul and the body.
Man: Mr. Savage can you give that back me so I can get on with my distribution. The deltas are getting
restless.
John: I come to bring you your freedom!
[Aside, the light then falls on Bernard and Helmholtz.]
Bernard: Where could he be? He is not in his room, not in yours or mind, or any of his usual spots.
Helmholtz: We will give him five minutes then… the phone rings he answers
Bernard: Who was that?
Helmholtz: it was the hospital. The savage is there and apparently he has gone mad!
[Back at the hospital John begins to throw out the soma pills.]
John: Do you like being babies? Now, you can be free! Go on! You are free!!!
12
[Helmholtz and Barnard appear. Helmholtz runs up to help John and Barnard passes muttering to
himself, conflicted about if he should go against society and help his friends or slip out unnoticed. The
deltas shout. Men come with boom boxes playing a relaxing song. The deltas relax and their yelling
ends. In a daze the deltas leave the stage. A police officer approaches John, Helmholtz, and Bernard]
Officer: Will you come with us or is force necessary?
John: We will come quietly.
[He and Helmholtz approach the officer. Bernard hesitates.]
Bernard: Do I have to go? I didn’t do anything.
Officer: You are a friend of the prisoners, right? [Bernard shrugs] Come on then.
[The four men leave the stage.]
Scene 7
[In Mond’s office after the arrest of John, Helmholtz, and Bernard. John and Mustapha Mond talk about
the rules of the world state as Helmholtz and Bernard wait patiently for their turns]
Mond: So you don’t like civilization very much, do you, Mr. Savage?
John: I really can’t say that I do, sir. I do like the music though.
Mond: “Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about my ears and sometimes voices”.
Yeah I know a little Shakespeare.
John: If you know it, then why is it bad for me to know it?
Mond: It is a forbidden text, Mr. Savage. The citizens are not allowed to read it because it is a beautiful
work of literature; one that would last a long time. Plus our citizens are happy with what is available to
them.
John: You call this happiness?
Mond: It may not be true happiness, but true happiness and stable societies cannot coexist, you see. It is
the price that we must pay for stability.
John: I still think Shakespeare is better than those “feelies.” Those things don’t mean anything.
Mond: That might be true, but they provide a lot of agreeable sensations to the audience.
John: Well, they sound like they were written by an idiot.
Mond: Oh, really? Your friend Helmholtz over here is one of the most distinguished feely writers we
have in the World state.
John: (embarassed) Sorry Helmholtz.
Helmholtz: No big deal. You’re right though; the things don’t have any meaning.
13
John: And what was with those lines of twins? That was disturbing.
Mond: I can see you find our Bokanovsky Process absurd, but it is what our society is built on. Our
society stays stable when everybody does the job that is assigned to their intelligence level.
John: Well if you can control the process, then why not make everyone an Alpha Double Plus?
Mond: Because, if an Alpha was assigned to a delta job in a factory, then he would go crazy and the
society would become unstable. The ideal population is modeled on an iceberg: One ninth above the
water, and eight ninths below it.
John: And people are happy below the water?
Mond: Yes sir! Happier than those who are above the water, for sure! That’s the way it’s staying too,
because every change brings the risk of losing stability, and that’s why science has been prohibited.
Helmholtz: Wait, WHAT?! We are always saying that science is everything though. I’m confused.
Mond: You know, I was a pretty good physicist in my day; too good, in fact. I became inquisitive about
the way of life in the World State and landed myself right where you boys are sitting at the moment.
Helmholtz: (with Bernard) What happened then?
Mond: I was on the point of being sent to an island, just like you.
Bernard: (frantically) ME?!?! ME sent to an island?!?! You can’t send ME. It’s their fault. PLEASE your
Fordship, Please don’t send me to Iceland.
Mond: (calling for some guards) Bring me three men and take Mr. Marx to a room and give him a soma
vaporization.
Helmholtz: So why are you here and not on an island yourself?
Mond: Because I preferred this. I envy you Mr. Watson, I do. You will be sent to an island where
everyone has the same ideals as you. Alas, I chose to serve the happiness of other people in place of my
own. How do the Falkland Islands sound to you, Mr. Watson?
Helmholtz: That will do. If you will excuse me, I wish to see how poor Bernard is getting on.
Act Four
[John see’s the lighthouse for the first time .He realizes that living in the lighthouse is his only option of
surviving in this world.]
Scene 1
[In Front of the curtains]
Bernard: Savage, are you okay? You look very ill.
John: I ate civilization but now, [screaming], I’m purified!! I’m purified!! [Bernard walks around John,
14
thinking, to the other side]
Bernard: Have you decided where you want to go?
John: I went to see Mustapha Mond this morning about going with you, but he said that I must stay on
the reservation. I’m damned… [Dramatic Pause, fast turn of the head, loud voice]. I refuse to stay here
and be experimented on. I’m getting out of this place as soon as possible.
Scene 2
[Curtains open, lighthouse in the background. John turns to see the lighthouse].
John: [walking up to the lighthouse] oh, forgive me! Oh make me pure! Oh, help me to be good!
[Gasping] Oh Lenina, forgive me. Forgive me god, I’m bad, I’m wicked. [When at lighthouse, grasp the
whip and start hitting himself.]
[next morning John is outside the lighthouse and sees a reporter]
John: Hey, who are you? What do you want with me? LEAVE ME ALONE!
Reporter 1: Good morning Mr. Savage, how are you today?
John: I would be better if you left me alone. [Turn around to go back inside but other reporters bombard
him with questions]
Reporter 2: Why did you leave the World State?
Reporter 3: Is it true that you have a, [to the audience in a whisper]
M-O-T-H-E-R???? [People gasp]
Reporter 3: Did you tell Lenina that you loved her?
Reporter 4: Is it true that you don’t take soma?
Reporter 1: Is it true that the DHC, is your D-A-D?
John: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [Freak out and run off stage!!]
Scene 3
[Helicopters are flying over head, buzzing noise. John steps out on to stage, followed by the everybody
singing Whip it to Beat it in the middle of the song John will start to whip Lenina too]
Everyone: Orgy Porgy... SOMA!
[Soma gets thrown into the audience. Everyone is surrounding John and Lenina, and then everyone falls
leaving only John standing in the middle of the stage all alone. He looks around confused]
John: [looks horrified because he realizes what just happened] O my god my god… [While running off
stage] what have I done!? [Ending Song Brave New World to Boom Boom Pow]
