Curtain

Fade to working lights to show a cloaked figure in a gas mask

(recorded voice)

I regret to inform you that everything you were told to believe is a lie.  A complete and utter lie.  One that scholars have known for years and religious leaders refused to believe, but now the time has come to see the light.

Fade in spotlight

Your world is not what you believe it is.  It is not all rosy and sweet like the painters protray and what the poets say.  It is cold, vulgar and deadly and will kill you all without a second thought.  Change now while you can.  Your ignorance has provided your bliss, but now you must know before its too late.

(lights a match)
