Interlude I Original Cast of ARISTOS: the Musical (Ft. Armand Akbari, Laurent J.L. Hall, Muse Lee & Sage Spiker)

To signify the beginning of the flashback, Young Achilles and Young Patroclus run across the stage, passing in front of the tent, singing messy snatches of “Where You Go.” They exit

The tent fades out of view. Lights brighten to shimmering evening. The “Interlude” theme plays. Adolescent Achilles and Adolescent Patroclus enter. They are duelling with wooden swords

[ADOLESCENT ACHILLES]
Incoming

Careful. Watch your back

Hard feint. Don’t fall for that again

[ADOLESCENT PATROCLUS]
Are you supposed to be helping me win?

[ADOLESCENT ACHILLES]
I’m not. I’m talking through the moves

Adolescent Patroclus reaches out and grabs Adolescent Achilles’ sword by its wooden “blade.” He tosses it to the side

[ADOLESCENT PATROCLUS]
What do you call that one?

[ADOLESCENT ACHILLES]
Cheating

Adolescent Patroclus throws down his own sword
