Some Stupid Bitch Killed Ana Peaceful(OrFourUnbelievable Conversations and a Murder) An Erotic Comedy Inspired by the Life & Intentions of Valerie Solanas

Anton Bonnici Conversation #2 HERODIAS’ BEEF Sandra Kage (SANDRA) – A young writer-director that writes intense, shocking plays. Vera Darling (VERA) – A mature successful actress that used to be Sandra’s teacher. The young writer/director (SANDRA) has invited her teacher, now a successful actress (VERA) to her apartment to discuss a casting proposition. VERA is in a smart suit, very business-like but also stylish. SANDRA is in jeans and a shirt, very artsy and maybe even a bit punk. A table with a huge burger, a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. One glass is already half full. SANDRA and VERA walk in. SANDRA

Thank you so much for coming Vera!

VERA

It’s a pleasure! I was delighted to hear from you.

SANDRA

I’ve been meaning to get in touch since forever but as soon as I finished this script I was totally sure you had to read it first. I’m having some wine, would you like a glass?

VERA

Yes please, that would be lovely. Cozy place you’ve got here.

SANDRA

Well, cozy is what I can barely afford. I won’t mind moving into someplace bigger down the line.

VERA

That’s what you say now, I actually miss the days I used the live in a shoebox, things were so much simpler back then.

SANDRA

So how are you doing? I’ve heard you’re super busy…

VERA

It’s insane. I’m working on this musical Ana is producing and I have a couple of other projects of my own. You know how it is, either two years of no work at all or you have to handle six projects in three months.
