Subject: Lyr Req: The English Castaways
Very many years ago I used to know a monologue about two English male castaways on the same desert island but living in different halves. Both had resources the other one needed but they couldn't communicate because they hadn't yet been introduced. Finally they got to speak with each other - after much hm'ing and ah'ing, until one made a remark that the other deemed offensive. So they then stopped speaking and lived alone again. Does anyone know this monologue please?
