Script

Actors:

2.00 PM, Market place, close to fountain.

Othello is coming onto scene, when detective is still waiting:

Well, well, well. Mr Othello. I’ve been waiting for you.
What do you want, detective.
I just want you to answer my few questions as prove.
Prove? Prove of what?
Don’t be silly Othello. Everyone here knows what you have done. Do you know what I am talking about? About witchcraft. I know that you know something about it.
No, I swear, I never knew how to use it.

Detective walk few times around Othello, finally:

So maybe you’ll tell me what happened to Desdemona.
She just loved me.
“She just loved me” - you are talking like a little child but alright - why she did it? Because it’s very important.
I said her the story of my life, then she enjoyed it and loved me for it.
What was this story about?
About battle and war and why I took alive myself from it.
And this stupid thing made her love you?
It wasn’t stupid, it was real as present moment and she loved me for ...

It wasn’t stupid, it was real as present moment and she loved me for thing I’ve done during the war.

Detective takes off his sunglasses, Othello grabs his own head:

Even if it’s true, does her father know about it.
I think, No.
You think no, huh. What he gonna do if someone would tell him about this? Do you know that witchcraft is banned here, in this city, ANYWHERE. So if I’ll catch you on doing anything strange, I don’t care, you’ll be dead anyway.
Is it everything what you wanted to tell me?
No. So, have you got any evidence of her love to you?
Yes, but I don’t know how to explain it. She just loved me.
I’m tired of your answers Mr Othello but I see that it’s going straight to end. When did you tell her about story of your life?
It doesn’t matter when.
Mr Othello. I see you used witchcraft because these lies are not believable. But I also see that Desdemona loves you and it looks like pure love.
That’s what I mean sir. You can’t describe it but you just feel it.

Detective buys a today newspaper with title: “How long witchcraft will make people scared?”

You see, I’m not a present person some things could make me better and some things make me worse. Witchcraft is obviously in the second group. This means that witchcraft in this city is over, finished; and if you want to use it or give me stupid lies better kill yourself. It’s not place for you.
You cannot tell me that I used witchcraft if you haven’t got any believable reasons. And I’ll tell you one more thing - If you are not interested in true don’t come to me because you’re wasting your and my time.
Mr Othello, you very disappointed me [takes sunglasses on] I really not enjoyed talking with you. [turns around] See you again in hell Mr Othello.

Othello sits on a bench and grabs his head:
