PREPARE: A one-minute monologue and any of the characters from the scene below.
SHUDDERS: Thump, thump.
YOUNG: (looking around) Do you...
POLICE TWO: Yes?
YOUNG: Nothing.
SHUDDERS: Thump, thump.
YOUNG: (to audience) Do you... hear that?
POLICE ONE: We often get these calls, they all have to be checked
out.
SHUDDERS: Thump, thump.
YOUNG: (hissing, looking around) Stop it!
POLICE TWO: You remember the body in the basement, Bill?
POLICE ONE: Sure do.
SHUDDERS: Thump, thump.
YOUNG: They must hear. They must! They must know what I have
done.
POLICE TWO: All because a neighbour reported an odd noise.

The heartbeat continues to grow and only stops when
YOUNG next speaks.
POLICE ONE: And then there was the body in the garden, remember
that?
POLICE TWO: Probably never would have found that one except for
the dog.
POLICE ONE: Oh that dog.
POLICE TWO: Dug right down to a pair of hands.
They laugh, jovially.
YOUNG: They are mocking me. Laughing at me. I can’t take this
anymore! Villains! Hide no more! (shoves the chairs to the side to
reveal the body) I admit the deed! Tear up the planks! Here, here!
It is the beating of his hideous heart!
