Monkeys and Birds and Humans

Maybe she is a hero. Maybe she's one of those pathetic vonnegut style heroes that causes a revolution without realizing it because she is so simple. She's simple, but she stands out because she's over-sensitive. In many situations, it's the over-sensitive that die first: the over-sensitive kid at school gets beaten up, the over-sensitive soldier cannot keep his cool, the over-sensitive employee quits his job - and returns the next day with a gun. Maybe she'll have an amazing lawyer who will use "Random Acts of Violence in America" as his defense... "The pressure of a decaying world".... "Insecurity over her future".... "Feeling angry over the state of the state" She'll still be found guilty, but for a week CNN-watchers will think about stuff. In reality, Bea is an animal. And animals, especially monkeys and birds and humans react strangely when in a state of extreme stress. They will lash out and eat each other. Everyone in this play is an animal.
