Dramatis Personae
Jeffery Macbeth: Jeffery Macbeth is a 22 year old man in great physical condition and he works as an elite ninja on Captain Duncan’s spaceship. Those close to him call him Mac; he has dark brown hair and hazel eyes along with a few battle scars. Mac is a strong and loyal man who would do anything for his wife Hilda. He is extremely stealthy due to his ninja training but he is not very intelligent and extremely gullible. Because of all the death he’s seen, Mac is slightly unstable and the smallest of things could push him over the edge. Mac is normally seen wearing his official black ninja space suit and he never goes anywhere without his weapons pouch that he wears on his left thigh since he is left handed.
Hilda Macbeth: Hilda is a 21 year old woman with a tiny build who works as a doctor on the ship captained by Duncan. Hilda bears a deep grudge against Duncan since he resembles her deceased abusive father. Also, when she asked him for a pay raise he said no. Hilda is an intelligent woman with great acting skills. She is equivocal and everyone around her thinks she is an angel due to her kindness. She is paranoid and untrusting and believes that everyone other than herself are complete idiots with no intelligence whatsoever. The only person she can be relatively close to is her husband Mac. Hilda usually adorns a white dress with silver flats and an angel wing necklace. Hilda has long blonde hair worn in a tight bun and has blue eyes that sparkle with false innocence.
Exposition
This play takes place on a spaceship in replacement for the country of Scotland. Due to the large amounts of pollution on Earth, the human race is no longer capable of living there, so each country now has a spaceship that is captained by their political leader; in this case it is captain Duncan. This ship has an army of ninjas and the guards are called Blackops. The higher ranking ninjas are the elite squad and the title of captain can be passed down to one of its members if the captain does not have an heir.
The scene will start out in Mac’s room where Mac is laying down in bed doped up on pain medication after having his wife treat the wounds that he received in the recent war. It’s really late at night and day break will be coming soon. Hilda is in the level below after treating Mac, doing laundry. The lower level is a shabby room with bad flickering lights that could drive someone insane.
