ANOTHER ANGLE:

Little FREDDIE is wailing. He hasn't understood a thing that SARAH

has sung but he can sense that something is wrong.

SARAH:
Ah, c'mon, Freddie. It was just a song.

They are interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. SARAH reacts with

a gasp of surprise. FREDDIE, for some inexplicable reason, is

suddenly quiet.

12INT:
FOYER - NIGHT

SARAH approaches the front door with some trepidation. She starts to

open it, then realizes what she is doing. She fastens the chain and

only then opens the door.

13EXT:
HOUSE - NIGHT

SARAH'S POV

Through the door opening SARAH can see a very elegantly dressed,

quite good-looking MAN of an indeterminate age. He has a worldly air,

or is it other-worldly? Before he can speak a flash of lightning

illuminates his face. He is a mesmerizing sight and SARAH can't help

but gawk.

MAN:
Excuse me, is this the home of Sarah Williams ... Sarah

Williams, the actress?

SARAH's jaw drops.

SARAH:
That's me.

MAN:
Allow me to introduce myself ... (he holds out his hand) I'm

Robin Zaker.

SARAH squeals with delight.

SARAH:
You wrote the play!

He smiles.

SARAH:
Just a second.

14INT:
FOYER - NIGHT

SARAH's hand hesitates over the chain for just a moment, and then she

unfastens it and opens the door. ZAKAR enters and extends his hand.

ZAKAR:
It is an honour, Miss Williams. I understand you make a

delightful Queen Meander.

SARAH:
Well, we've just started rehearsal, but how did you know?

ZAKAR:
I was passing through this part of the country and heard that

it was going to be done here. This is the first amateur production of

the play, which of course is delightful for me.

SARAH:
You know we were supposed to open tonight, but we got delayed.

The firemen had to use the hall.

ZAKAR:
Yes, I know, that's why I wanted to stop by to see you.

They are interrupted by a particularly loud crash from upstairs. And

then FREDDIE begins to howl.

SARAH:
That's my brother ...

There is another crash and SARAH starts up the stairs.

SARAH:
I'll be right back!

ZAKAR watches her run up the stairs. He glances around and then walks

right to the liquor cabinet and takes out a bottle.

15INT:
NURSERY - NIGHT

FREDDIE in standing in his crib crying his eyes out. SARAH rushes in

and sees that the storm has blown open the basement window and it is

crashing against the wall. She rushes to close it. FREDDIE's screams

are piteous.
