CBA by Sarah Jane Dickenson CHARACTERS CHORUS x 10 GEORGIA KESHIA TOM LAYLA GEORGIAS MUM MAN AARON TOMS MUM MATT The Space of the CHORUS. Loud energised music. Some of the CHORUS enter. They prowl whilst all the while looking at the audience as only predators can.

They take out their mobile phones and photograph the rest of the CHORUS as they come on. All the CHORUS have mobiles and take photos of each other. Some of the photo-taking is friendly, some verges on happy slapping. The atmosphere of each photo taken is different - ever changing - unpredictable. Suddenly they all come together, walk toward the audience and - united - take a photo of the audience. CHORUS 10: Gotcha! CHORUS 9: Gotcha! CHORUS 8: Gotcha! CHORUS 7: Gotcha! CHORUS 6: Gotcha!
