Sophie Jung 'New Waiting'

VLADIMIR:
It’s for the kidneys. (Silence. Estrogen looks attentively at the tree.) What do we do now?
ESTROGEN:
Wait.
VLADIMIR:
Yes, but while waiting.
ESTROGEN:
What about hanging ourselves?
VLADIMIR:
Hmm. It’d give us an erection.
ESTROGEN:
(highly excited). An erection!
VLADIMIR:
With all that follows. Where it falls mandrakes grow. That’s why they shriek when you pull them up. Did you not know that?
ESTROGEN:
Let’s hang ourselves immediately!
VLADIMIR:
From a bough? (They go towards the tree.) I wouldn’t trust it.
ESTROGEN:
We can always try.
