THIS IS A CHAIR
The War in Bosnia
JULIAN is waiting in a London street holding a bunch of flowers.
MARY arrives.
MARY
I’m so sorry.
JULIAN
That’s all right, don’t worry.
MARY
Have you been here ages?
JULIAN
I got you these.
MARY
They’re beautiful.
JULIAN
I don’t know what you like.
MARY
Thank you very much.
JULIAN
I like orange and blue together, I don’t know if you do, I thought of roses but I think roses are a bit dull, I don’t like pink and red very much as colours, I don’t mind yellow but I thought these.
MARY
Listen, I’m afraid there’s a problem.
JULIAN
Yes.
MARY
I’ve made a stupid mistake.
JULIAN
Never mind.
MARY
No but I’ve made two different arrangements for the same evening, I’ve doublebooked myself, I don’t know how I can be so stupid.
JULIAN
So you have to make a phonecall or . . . ?
MARY
