TPTGW Annie lines!!

Remember that while she is frantic and panicked, there is still that underlying superiority, bitterness for Sandra, and drive to be the best.

TREVOR: good evening ladies and gentlemen-

ANNIE emerges from the wings, glaring at audience member, “you said that was fine.”

CHRIS: leave it… just leave it

ANNIE: you need it-

ROBERT: (ANNIE gets pushed onstage) Florence, you don’t look yourself this evening.

Thomas/Mary i’m frightened

CHRIS: isn’t it obvious? cecil has lost control

ANNIE: oh no not Kesil

CHRIS: …driven mad by his lust for you and now he knows we’ve found him out.

ANNIE: i cannot bear it, Kesil would not do such a thing

DENNIS: the worst night i’ve seen in eighty… -eight years of service!
