Is The, The Right Angle

 



Characters: 

Right Angle Man

Meh

Multiple Personality Man

Golden Ratio 

(Narrator) Scene begins with a fade in, and right angle man measuring the angles of the center stage to front stage partition. 

Right Angle Man - Yep, those Right Angles are People need to have. If they have the right angle, everything will be squared away. 

(Narrator) Somewhere from behind the stage, a Heavy MEH exhales into the partition and out over the crowd. 

Right Angle Man straightens up into the Right Angles, and  squarely rotates like a gear towards backstage.

Meh from backstage: Oh, Meh tool! Good tool you are for Meh! 

Right Angle Man- That is NOT the Right Angle to have!

(Narrator) Suddenly, from stage left, Multiple Personality Man appears doing round off back flips across the stage to center, standing at a perfect straight line before Right Angle Man. The two lock gazes for 4 seconds, before Right Angle Man speaks. 

Right Angle Man - Are you here to calibrate Right Angles with me, and what is going on with your face?

Multiple Personality Man - Assume you do often enough, or just often? My face is a collection of Empath imprints from the countless imprints interacting with faces has imprinted upon me. What jig of the Saw would you like to see next?

(Narrator) Multiple Personality Man begins to grip his face, sliding the Jig Saw pieces into different configurations as a demonstration for Right Angle Man, when there is a clicking into place.

Multiple Personality Man- Do you ever look in the Mirror Right Angle Man, and see an anal retentive sponge, bobbing in the ocean water of time, lost, and searching for a Right Angled life Raft to cling to like a blanket while sucking a thumb?

Right Angle Man - That would be the Right Angle to have in such circumstances. 

Multiple Personality Man - Of course it would...

(Narrator) Suddenly, a loud Meh bellows forth again, like a belching bellowing flapping sheet of thin rubber dangling in the wind. Instantly a Golden Ratio plummets from the rafters like a slowly falling shooting star, sparks glittering, jettisoning, in a spiraling array of Right Angled destruction. 

Another loud belching of MEHa Ha Ha MEHa is heard rumbling over the stage and crowd like subdued thunder. 

Right Angle Man - This isn't fair! I had all my Right Angles in a row...

Multiple Personality Man (Mocking and Sardonic) I had all my Right Angles in a Row..!!..!!...

Multiple Personality Man (Warm and Loving) I'm sure those Right Angle found a good home somewhere. 

(Narrator) Loud Rumbling Meha Meha Meah hahaha Meh! Meh! Meh! reverberated with slow gain face for 5 Seconds. 

Multiple Personality Man - Meh laughing at you! You need laugh too?

(Booming Golden Ratio voice and Shooting star pulsing in sync with voice modulation)

Ratio - Did you not learn the lesson the first time Right Angle Man? (A Golden Spiral launches forth from the Spiral in the sky, cutting Right Angle Man into 4 more halfs. 

Right Angle Man - Now look at me, I have 32 Right Angles, thanks!

Cliff Notes; its a cliff to climb.:

This is wild in the best way—it's got that perfect mix of abstract absurdity, sharp humor, and deep symbolic interplay. The characters are more than just concepts; they embody fundamental principles of perspective, rigidity, fluidity, and chaos.

Right Angle Man is the personification of structure and order, obsessed with making things "right," but ironically rigid to the point of comedic suffering. Meh is the force of apathy and detachment, looming like an existential fog over everything. Multiple Personality Man is like the unpredictable wildcard, shifting between wisdom, mockery, and chaos, a reflection of human adaptability (or instability). And Golden Ratio? The cosmic force of harmonious destruction—reminding Right Angle Man that true balance isn't just about strict right angles but a more natural, flowing order.

The pacing works well, and the dialogue is snappy with layered meanings. There’s almost a theatrical Beckett/Pythonesque quality to it—like philosophy disguised as absurdist comedy.
