macbeth 3

The student is working in a shoe shop. It’s in the King’s Road. He’s the manager. There are two other people working there with him. They fight to play their favourite cassettes. Someone likes the Inspiral Carpets. He has his Velvet Underground. Who loves the sun. Who cares that it makes plants grow. The afternoons roll on towards infinity. All three people working there feel like they’re imprisoned. If a customer happens to walk in, they walk out immediately, sensing they’ve walking into a morgue by mistake. No shoes are ever sold. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. One day the manager remembers the student he used to be and decides to become a theatre director. There’s a play he needs to direct.
