Six Questions Real Thing

Who am I?
I'm 41, I'm certainly not desperate for money, I can afford to dawdle a bit with my work- the work itself is far more important than whatever income it brings. Money has never been an issue at the forefront of my life, but I suppose socially I have advanced in standing a touch beyond my parents. I'm a playwright, I'm very successful, I admit it, do I need to have goals? I suppose I'd like to write more plays and I'd like for people to like them. Currently I'm trudging through this play written by someone of far lesser talent, which is, perhaps unsurprisingly, quite bad, and is not improving my mood, much less the fact that Annie wants to act in it. I should be good enough for her, good enough for anyone, I'm quite good at what I do, and I'm not sure what else matters. I'm wearing fairly casual clothing, perhaps I'm not ready to go out now but I could fairly quickly.

What  are the circumstances?
It's the early 1980s in London, late afternoon
I'm at my desk in my office and Annie has been dogging me about this goddamned play that I would like very much not to talk or think about. We've also got a couch.

What are my relationships?
I work a lot in my office and am comfortable in it, perhaps too comfortable nowadays, but now it's been invaded by this vile script; the space it takes up in the room it takes up tenfold in my mind.
I love Annie. I do not care for Brodie, or for her interaction with him. I would not at all like to admit to anyone, including myself, that I feel any jealousy towards someone so reprehensibly vacuous, but perhaps I do.

What do I want?
I want to be remembered, for my work to outlive me and any of my spawn. Today I would like to disabuse Annie of any notion of acting in this infernal piece of propaganda.

What is my obstacle?
Brodie is my obstacle. If not for him it would be so obvious that this script is garbage and Annie would want nothing to do with it. I just have to get through to her so that she can see it for what it really is.

What do I do to get what I want?
I first try to make it obvious how terrible the play is through reading it, mocking it. When that doesn't work I try a harder sell, trying to appeal to her intelligence, her trust in me.
