The sound and action stops dead as the Guru suddenly rattles his bell and stands up followed by
the others – the trance having been broken. Clown/Death remains still U/S R having put the veil
over his face and replaced his bowler. (He has removed the nose). All exit in line abreast D/S –
the Gigolo and Schoolgirl in front centre.

There is a lull, with only the presence of Clown/Death on stage.

It is now mid-day.

The sound of the surf continues.

Six people enter – one at a time. Each carries on empty bottle – comes on stage from S/L – sits
stretches and yawns to the muffled but fairly strong blast of a ship’s siren (a large ship). These
blasts are not exactly the same in volume or length. After they have stretched and yawned they
fall asleep more or less immediately until we have a line of sleeping bodies across the stage, each
with an empty bottle by their side.
