HERRINGS
HERRINGS is a very short stage play. There are three characters: H. Griffiths, M. Bogush and Voice Off. H. Griffiths speaks first:
I am H. Griffiths, the celebrated writer of novels of romantic, unrequited love. What you are about to see took place in the bridal suite of a 5 star hotel on Sunset Boulevard. It was during the afternoon of July 21st 1969 – the day mankind first walked on the moon.

As I said to you, the cry of “Rissole!” reminds me of a very rude joke but I’m assuming that wasn’t the inspiration. If it was, then I’m looking forward to the sequel very much!
