When you are a famous and feathery celebrity (who is also the super-secret spy .007), you must always balance creative endeavors with maintaining your cover.
“Acting” is a perfect way to do more of what you love, more frequently, without anyone guessing your true identity.
You can combine all your skills in directing, writing, acting, sleuthing, and saving the world – all without a single soul being the wiser.
Here, Love & Feathers is very proud to present world-renowned super spy (er, actor) Pearl Cutts in his latest one-avian play:
“Inspector Popcorn”
(There is no curtain, just a plain bowl full of popcorn sitting in the stark, still center of the stage. The famous and feathery actor appears. The applause is deafening.)
Well, hello there. What are you lot doing, loitering around here?What do you mean, “waiting to be eaten?” That seems like a cover story in my expert opinion – and a pretty flimsy one at that.It seems the only thing for it is to test your story personally. (opens beak, takes huge chomping bite. There is cheering from deep inside the popcorn bowl.)Boy, you really weren’t kidding. This will be one for the record books. But in the meantime…. (more chomping. and more cheering.)(as the chomping continues, there is the sudden sound of footsteps approaching….this is the large featherless being known as “Mom” – obviously a code name.)Oh hi, “Mom.” Well yes I was just enjoying a crunchy snack. Well, yes, they specifically requested me. You? No, they didn’t mention anything about waiting for you before snacking….
(The being known as “Mom” makes a grumpy sound. Pearl returns to chomping. More distant cheers can be heard from the depths of the popcorn bowl.)
The End.
