HAM - LET me in

 HAM,  LET ME IN  - mostly by Kendra Hall, with help from Shakespeare
           A Tragedy
ACT I
SCENE I.   A straw house in the country.
PIG I at his straw house. Enter to him WOLF

WOLF
Greetings,
Lord Pig I beseech thee,
 let me enter.
PIG I
Nay, you venomous slosh-guzzle,
fare thee well,
hath thou not heard my dismissal!
WOLF
Methinks thou art not in earnest!
I beseech thee, let me enter!
PIG I
Nay you thieveing leech,
dispatch thyself!
WOLF
Then in mine ire shall I
breathe out strong breath
and lay waste to thine dwelling!
            Wolf blows straw house down
WOLF
Thou wouldst not grant me enter,
yet I have come off conqueror,
I Shall feast upon the spoils;
“The world’s mine oyster!”  (Merry Wives of Windsor)
            Exit WOLF

SCENE II. A humble stick house in the country
            PIG II at stick house. Enter to him GHOST
PIG II
What manner of  trick be this?
Be thou mine brother or piglet damn’d,
            Ghost beckons PIG II
“See! It beckons me forward!”
“It waves me forth again: I’ll follow it!” (Hamlet)
            WOLF approaches, Exeunt GHOST
Come away! What means this excitement?
WOLF
Lord Pig, I beseech thee,
Let me enter.
PIG II
Hath not I been warned;
Away with thee, At once!
WOLF
Methinks thou art not in earnest!
I beseech thee; let me enter!
PIG II
“I trust I may not trust thee!” (Hamlet)
Doth not the apparition warn against?
Thy swagger and bloodstained muzzle
Do betray thee. I say, away villain!
WOLF
Then in mine ire shall I
breathe out strong breath
and lay waste to thine dwelling!
            Wolf blows stick house down
WOLF
Alas! What generous meat doth present?
“A dish that I do love to feed upon” (Taming of the Shrew)
“This business is well ended” (King Lear)
            Exit WOLF

SCENE III. A brick house in the country
            PIG III at brick house. Enter to him two GHOSTS

PIG III
Hath mine eyes deceived me?
Art thou not my brothers,
Born of the self same matron
Who bore me in her affliction?
Canst thou not speak;
Yet ye beckon me forward;
Shall I yet see what is the cause of thy appearance?
            Enter WOLF
Fie! Thy blood lay upon the villainous wolf.
“This butcher's cur is venom-mouth'd, and I
Have not the power to muzzle him;”  (Henry VIII)
Prithee, brothers, protect mine honor;
Vengence upon the filthy savage.
            GHOSTS descend upon WOLF
WOLF
Is this but the apparitions of my kill?
Tis the same.
            WOLF knocks on PIG III door
Lord Pig, I beseech thee,
Let me enter.
PIG III
“Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone;
Let them affright thee. I beseech thee,” wolf,
“O, be gone!”    (Romeo and Juliet)
           
WOLF
Methinks thou art not in earnest!
I beseech thee; let me enter!
            GHOSTS surround WOLF
Save me this pageantry;
Forgive mine assassination!
PIG III
I have not a house of stick or straw,
Thou mayst not enter herein my house of stone.
To thy grave of earth thou must enter in
This is but fair play.
WOLF
I die!
            GHOSTS surround and engulf  WOLF, WOLF dies

PIG III Standing over WOLF
Tis not solace.
I am but mad,
Vengence restores not.
Thy mischief can n’er be undone.
           
            Exeunt
