00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:03.600 align:middle line:90%
Elfred the Dancer.

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.237 align:middle line:84%
Red and orange scarves and an
atmosphere of all of history

00:00:06.237 --> 00:00:06.945 align:middle line:90%
at the same time.

00:00:06.945 --> 00:00:09.390 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.390 --> 00:00:10.890 align:middle line:84%
I should say about
stage directions.

00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:14.010 align:middle line:84%
I had a stage direction in the
early play of mine, The Earth

00:00:14.010 --> 00:00:15.630 align:middle line:90%
Splits in Two Like an Orange.

00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:17.580 align:middle line:84%
And the artist Red Grooms
was doing the sets.

00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:19.500 align:middle line:84%
And I said, Red, I'm
sorry about this.

00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:21.010 align:middle line:84%
He said, oh Kenneth,
that's from--

00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:23.925 align:middle line:84%
Oh, Kenneth, that's
no problem at all.

00:00:23.925 --> 00:00:25.550 align:middle line:84%
Red thought that
was an easy one.

00:00:25.550 --> 00:00:28.470 align:middle line:90%
Anyway.

00:00:28.470 --> 00:00:30.060 align:middle line:84%
This is called
Elfred the Dancer.

00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:32.790 align:middle line:84%
Elfred: when maids
become historians,

00:00:32.790 --> 00:00:36.000 align:middle line:84%
and summer skies change
to violent thunder,

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.780 align:middle line:84%
rattling scarves or plates,
then Macedon at last yields

00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:43.440 align:middle line:84%
to Greek influence, and
conquers while being conquered.

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:45.030 align:middle line:90%
Alexander did this.

00:00:45.030 --> 00:00:47.370 align:middle line:90%
The story is told by his maid.

00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:49.110 align:middle line:90%
Alexander had no maid.

00:00:49.110 --> 00:00:51.798 align:middle line:90%
I am Elfred the dancer.

00:00:51.798 --> 00:00:52.298 align:middle line:90%
