DUET history: People
R.I.P.'s Café
Back in '99, for our variety show 'Shit Happens', we wrote 'R.I.P's Café'. It was a playlet about some celebrities who had died and then arrived at a lounge where they hung around the bar waiting for the ferryman to come and take them across to the great Beyond. They were characters from very different eras and backgrounds of history and literature. In this neutral waiting area between living memory and ultimate oblivion, they treated each other with interest, jealousy, humour and even solidarity - in other words, as alive as the people they once were.
Little did we think that we would ever make reference to 'R.I.P.'s Café' again - but indeed the crazy idea of there being such a lounge where they might all be together in our imagination gives us some comfort as we fondly and gratefully remember those DUETs who now grace a different stage.
