Andy Frank, a popular young actor, died in mysterious circumstances during filming, midway through Act 2.
Later, his girlfriend Erica, also an actor, more self-centred than a hurricane, videotaped this tribute to him.
ERICA (CONT'D)
Andy was such a special soul. He could light up a room, and he was amazing in -- in everything he did. He’ll always have a special place. In my heart. I have to finish this movie for him. Even though it causes me so much pain. But how could I deprive his fans of a last chance to see him? I’ll get through it... for his sake, but I... don’t know how... I’m sorry.
She sniffles, mimes “cut!”
The cameraman cuts.
ERICA (CONT'D)
(brightly)
How was I?
CAMERAMAN
Unbelievable. Literally, unbelievable.
She smiles.
ERICA
Well, I’ve only been doing him for two weeks. It’s not like it was ever going anywhere. But it’s all good.
She points at the camera.
ERICA (CONT'D)
I need to get that to Newsnight.
