about

With Henry's guidance, Dorian explores the darkest sides of life he's ever dreamed of.

lyrics

--EMMA--
(Approaching A SAILOR at the bar.)

PIPE SIR?
WE HAVE THE BEST AROUND

--1ST SAILOR--
No, just ale.

--LILY--
(Approaching ANOTHER SAILOR at a table.)

WANT SOME COMPANY?
GIRLS LIKE OURS CAN’T BE FOUND

--2ND SAILOR--
No, just wine.

(The tavern’s INHABITANTS come closer to DORIAN in a ragged semi-circle, and the dancing begins.)

--ALL--
WHAT’S YOUR PLEASURE MR.GRAY?
WE’RE SO GLAD YOU’VE COME TO PLAY
WE ARE CONFIDENT YOU’LL BE
ESPECIALLY DELICIOUS COMPANY

--LILY AND A SAILOR--
EVER WANT
TO RIP THE MASK
OFF THIS VICTORIAN LAND?

--ALL--
UNDERNEATH
EACH QUIET LIFE
DARK SECRETS
CLUTCHED IN EVERY HAND

WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
IF WE TRY
DANCING IN THE STREET
EVERY HEART COMPLETE

WE ALL CAN FLY
IN A BRAVE
NEW FREE SKY

EVER THINK
IT’S POSSIBLE
TO LIVE INSIDE YOUR DREAMS?

SO MANY
POSSIBILITIES
THAT MOVE IN ENDLESS FLOWING STREAMS

STEP INSIDE YOUR DREAMS
STEP INSIDE

--LILY--
STEP INSIDE YOUR DREAMS
AT LEAST TRY

--ALL--
TOUCH THE COLORS THERE
DRINK ELECTRIC AIR

YOU’LL NEVER DIE
IN THE ENDLESS
DREAM SKY

(A SAILOR brings forward an Opium pipe and a strange, carved wooden box as DORIAN is pushed into a chair.)

--FAYE--
PIPES TO SMOKE BRING ORIENTAL VISIONS

--SAILOR--
(Opening the box and taking out dried mushrooms.)

HERE ARE NEW WORLD SHAMAN POTIONS

--FAYE AND EMMA--
GIRLS
IN ALL THE HINDUESE POSITIONS

--THE SAILORS--
BOYS
WHO MIGHT BE GIVING YOU NOTIONS

(The pipe is brought to DORIAN, and after a moment of initial uncertainty, HE is soon drawing in the smoke deeply. HE also takes a handful of mushrooms from the wooden box and ingests them.)

--DORIAN--
(slowly rising.)

THERE HAS TO BE SOMEWHERE...

(The dancing continues and the mood of the entire tavern becomes suggestive of an orgy. EMMA and FAYE dance together.

DORIAN is energized, and becomes the center of the dancers’ gyrations.

A SAILOR takes a solo turn, brandishing a whip with erotic suggestiveness.

ALAN CAMPBELL enters and is soon drawn to the sailor.)

--ALL--
IS IT POSSIBLE
TO LIVE INSIDE YOUR DREAMS?

(As the combination of intoxicants and the frenzied dancing take their toll, people begin collapsing throughout the tavern.)

TAKE THE LEAP
WE KNOW YOU CAN FLY
TOUCH THE COLORS THERE
DRINK ELECTRIC AIR
YOU’LL NEVER DIE
IN THE ENDLESS
DREAM SKY

(Almost the entire tavern population has now passed out.

LILY is on the ground, struggling to remain conscious as SHE watches the inexhaustible DORIAN with a combination of fear and admiration.)

--LILY--
YOU CAN DO THE TASK
RIP OFF THE MASK

(ALAN, teetering and falling, is grabbed by the SAILOR with the whip.)

--DORIAN--
(Laughing wickedly.)

Alan!

(ALAN grabs the handle of the whip as HE and THE SAILOR exit.

HENRY exits, stepping over the scattered bodies, and smiling slyly.

DORIAN scrambles around the tavern like a man possessed, grabbing the corpse-like bodies around him, trying to shake life into them.)

--DORIAN--
(Everyone partially rising and falling with each word.)

MORE
BRING ME MORE
I WANT MORE!

(DORIAN stands at center stage, arms outstretched as if he is flying.)
