The RLD badge and the career elevator. A comic drama from the sports life.
(The script of the play was created on the basis of the Vladimir Zalessky story for children - about Seryozha - "Sports achievements").
Dedicated to Anton Chekhov.
Epigraph:
"The time has come, a huge mass is approaching all of us, a healthy, strong storm is preparing, which is coming, is already close and will soon blow away laziness, indifference, prejudice to work, rotten boredom from our society."
["A new age is dawning, the people are marching on us all, a powerful, health-giving storm is gathering, it is drawing near, soon it will be upon us and it will drive away laziness, indifference, the prejudice against labour, and rotten dullness from our society." - Translation by Julius West]
Anton Chekhov "Three Sisters" (play).
ACTORS:
Seryozha, a school student who wish to get (through sports) a RLD [Ready for Labor and Defense] badge and to discover and to use a career elevator.
A respectable man - the Head of the Figure Skating Society - surrounded by several hefty athletes.
Visitors to the public swimming pool (including children) - their whisper and screams are heard by the actors and the audience.
The famous (in the past) swimmer Kukolev, a mighty champion with a huge biceps and triceps.
The action takes place next to the side of the pool, as well as in the office of the Head of the Figure Skating Society.
ACT ONE. Next to the side of the pool. The voices of visitors can be heard, including from the pool.
Seryozha in rubber slippers, beautiful swimming trunks, a rubber cap and swimmer's glasses is walking next to the side of the pool.
He thinks out loud about the most effective training methods: "It takes a lot of perseverance and a subtle [thin], precise calculation to succeed!".
A loud whisper is heard from those, who present:
- "The head of the Figure Skating Society has arrived!"
Seryozha is standing on one side of the stage. He looks around.
A respectable man appears on the opposite side of the stage, surrounded by several hefty athletes.
Seryozha is preparing to approach a respectable person. However, the person inspects the pool, visitors, and gradually moves towards Seryozha.
Seryozha chooses a convenient moment and speaks loudly:
- "Long live our sport! Our native sport movement which is the most popular in the world!"
The look of a respectable man is directed at Seryozha:
- "Good guy!" - a respectable man says to his entourage. Then he turns to Seryozha:
- "What's your name?"
- "Seryozha!"
A respectable man takes out a little notebook and writes down Seryozha's name:
- "I appoint you Chairman of the Public Council of this pool!"
- "I am ready to serve where I will be entrusted."
A respectable man casts a few more glances at the pool and, after that, leaves.
ACT TWO. The scenery of the first act.
Seryozha is walking next to the side of the pool. His gait shows that he is no longer an ordinary ordinary visitor, but the Chairman of the Public Council of the Pool.
Suddenly there is a noise.
Exclamations are heard: "The water is leaving the pool!" "The pool is empty!"
The children start crying.
Adult voices: "Let's go, baby, lets get out of here quickly!!!"
An excited man of large size appears next to Seryozha. He speaks loudly into a space:
- "Parents and children ran away! Many have left their belongings! Including pets forgotten! Squeaking, barking and other alarm sounds can be heard from the bags!"
A large man notices Seryozha and looks at him. The man continues to speak into a space:
- "Call the repair crew, fill the pool, bring the kids back!"
- "Who are you?" - Seryozha asks the man.
- "I am the famous swimmer Kukolev! I became a champion in the past. But my fame yet has not passed now!"
- "And I am the Chairman of the Public Council of this pool!" - Seryozha says. - "Do not interfere! I ask you to leave."
The famous swimmer Kukolev falls silent. He looks at Seryozha in surprise.
Seryozha politely takes Kukolev by the shoulders, turns him one hundred and eighty degrees, and gently pushes him forward.
The famous swimmer takes a few steps in the direction set by Seryozha and disappears from the stage.
The cell phone rings.
Seryozha takes out the phone and speaks into it:
- "I am ready to perform any task in the interests of our native sport movement!" "To report the situation?" "I am reporting. Kukolev, a famous (in the past) swimmer, came, demanded to call a repair crew, to fill the pool, to return the kids. I unwrapped him and gently deleted him." "Yes, I did delete Kukolev. Even if he is a champion! Let him have a huge biceps and triceps!" "I explained to him that I am the Chairman of the Public Council of the Pool. He had to shut up, and he left." "You're awarding me a RLD [Ready for Labor and Defense] badge! Thank you!". "I'm urgently hitting the road to participate in the awards ceremony."
ACT THREE. A large room separated by an arch from the banquet hall. The chandeliers are burning brightly. Hefty athletes are lined up along the walls. Sports banners are placed. The song "We believe firmly in the heroes of sports. We need victory like air...
We know: we can win If we perform a miracle!..." [Song "Heroes of Sports") (A.N. Pakhmutova, N. N. Dobronravov)]
Seryozha stands in the center of the office of the Head of the Figure Skating Society.
He receives a RLD [Ready for Labor and Defense] badge from the Head.
- "Thank you! Our sport movement is and will be the first in the world!" says Seryozha confidently.
- "We are not trying for ourselves, but for the country! Therefore, our sporting successes are inevitable!" - the Head of the Figure Skating Society answers.
The Head looks at Seryozha and after a few seconds of reflection asks a question:
- "And what are your plans for the near future, dear Seryozha?"
- "I'm going to return closer to my native pool and to continue training," Seryozha modestly replies.
- "You spent a lot of time near this pool... Maybe you don't need to go back?.. And would you agree to work in the Group of General Sports Inspectors at the Asian-African Games?"
- 'I am ready to serve where I will be entrusted. At that position [post] where you will send me!" - Seryozha answers.
- "Good guy!" - says the Head of the Society to his entourage. - "We need such - young, energetic, with the right attitude!"
The announcer's voice is heard from the speakers: "The award ceremony is over! I ask the participants to go to the banquet hall!"
The head of the Society takes Seryozha by the elbow.
All participants of the award ceremony are heading to the exit. The office of the Head of the Figure Skating Society is empty.
