Notes on a play

Ten people walk onto the stage wearing the masks of Hu Jintao,François Hollande, Vladimir Putin, David Cameron, Barack Obama, Juan Manuel Santos, Angela Merkel, Pranab Mukherjee, Aníbal Cavaco Silva, Jacob Zuma each humming or singing their respective national anthem and marching about the stage. A man wearing a balaclava grasping a giant net, he proceeds to chase them. They all run about falling over each other, singing and humming the anthems quicker and quicker as the chase intensifies. In the end the masked assailant corners his victims and nets them. Now screaming and rolling around on the floor the leaders begin to scream and cry, all except for Pranab Mukherjee. He produces scissors and cuts himself a hole and climbs to freedom.
