Scene 1
cast of characters: BENNY B & DINDY B
An early afternoon in late autumn - Benny Bee
visits Dindy Blaze in his studio in Copenhagen.

while Dindy prepares the tea.
B E N N Y B
My dearest friend, I have come to thee with a
proposal.
D I N D Y B
Aye, I am listening.
Dindy finds his finest crystal glass for his old
friend and a package of sugar cubes in the
cupboard.
B E N N Y B
I know these people ( The tea kettle whistles
impatiently)... I said, I knoweth of these people who
would gladly host our work. Good, honest peeps.
D I N D Y B
I could use the fuckin money, yo. The price of flour
is up 6 danish øre.
B E N N Y B
Aye. Does thou have Whatsapp?
D I N D Y B
Aye.
B E N N Y B
I will send you my thoughts in a few days. But I was
thinking the theme should be about the #Sacred and
the #Profane. Perhaps in the place between the #Holy
and the #Unholy - a mirror to how we both live our
lives.
D I N D Y B
Sounds good B! I fuckin love the autobio stuff.
B E N N Y B
We have an agreement then?
D I N D Y B
Aye!
