Elizabeth Taylor style African Queen - for those of us awaiting African Queen

 


We know how hard it is to wait. Thus, for the impatient, here is a quick treatment, starring Elizabeth Taylor as African Queen in a little tribute skit.


Elizabeth Taylor as African Queen

(Actually, someone impersonating Elizabeth Taylor starring in a remake of "African Queen")


Elizabeth Taylor moves about in high society. She has Bibles. She has a Bible instructor. She dances the Bible.

She sings the Bible. She memorizes passages from the Bible. The Elizabeth Taylor character becomes a church secretary.

Her parish is a fine party. There is coffee hour every Wednesday. The cakes and the coffee and the tea is perfect. Her

parish is a social event. Everyone who is anyone goes to that church. It has valet parking and white glove service.

Treatment - Musical for African Queen 

Elizabeth Taylor goes to Brooklyn where everyone is black. Thus, she also becomes black, as being black is so "in". She

deigns to preside over social hour at a church coffee hour in the best, up and coming, hip-hop happening neighborhood in 

Kings County, New York City. Everyone sings and dances and has a good time watching the Christmas play, which sells out. There is a lot of demand, and a lot of money involved. The Christmas show becomes invited to go Manhattan, to off-Broadway, to Haarlem, to Greenwich Village, next year. Then, the Easter show involves a major producer, who demands at least one weekend at Rockefeller Plaza.

Elizabeth Taylor and a pianist go on a tour around Lake Victoria, doing Biblical boat cruises on the lake in Kenya and Tanzania, as sponsored by the major production company, and return to New York City triumphantly.


THE END

Hymnal

Sorry, don't have the songs or the talent for this right now, just a Hymnal given to me with blessings.

Morning Glory - Katharine Hepburn

The movie poster for Morning Glory is amazing. This is an incredible poster. The role that Katharine Hepburn plays must be an incredible one. The art on this is so noir, the colors, so brash, so brazen, so bright - so, American. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024353/?ref_=ttls_li_tt  https://www.scripts.com/script-pdf/14063 Wikimedia listing It's an interesting script. I'm still looking through it. Okay, let's do the chop-chop treatment, given that I am still reading it and my time is up.

More Skittles and a Science Fiction Ending in 2039 or maybe a backstory in Act One

Act Three A Bill of Divorcement Woe unto you hypocrites and Pharisees Jesus Christ Superstar 2020 Life has changed a lot since the 1930s here. Technology is different, outfits are different, attitudes are different, thank you has changed to "no problem". The cast has arrived for Cocker Spaniel-zilla, one of the many pets of our Godzilla. Regrettably, this is the wrong set, they've accidentally arrived at the Katharine Hepburn tribute. Japanese people running from what? We could do the opening scene of dozens of women outside Buckingham Palace, mopping the sidewalks while hundreds of troops in Beefeaters aim dysfunctional firehoses at the sidewalks in order to mist clean their uniforms, stay cool, and clean the sidewalks. We could have a hologram of the real Katharine Hepburn in the role of Lady Cynthia Darrington in the real Christopher Strong for about five minutes.\Rational people like me just don't spit out scripts like bread slicers slice bread. https://www.imdb.c
