(This sketch is difficult to perform.  Ideally it should go at a tremendous pace and be allowed to build up its rhythm.  The difficulty lies in co-ordinating the rhythm between the two narrators (N1 and N2) and the four chorus players (C1, C2, C3, and C4; C means all).  The stylised form should be exaggerated, and there should be sudden changes in volume and mood.  The chorus, who take the part of the tenants, should think through actions, but these must be incorporated into the rhythm and not allowed to destroy it. Their venom is directed at the audience, and there is no-one acting the part of the landlord.

At the end, the rhythm is brought to a halt at “His son” by the bewilderment of the chorus, who should be given time to gawp at the narrators.  “His heir” is said with growing greed, and the rhythm resumes until another abrupt pause at “And killed them”.)
