THE ENCOUNTER - SHADOWS AND CAPED CRUSADERS
THE ENCOUNTER - SHADOWS AND CAPED CRUSADERS Act 1: Road Trip Beginnings Scene 1: New York City, 1950s (Allen Ginsberg's apartment. Allen is typing on his typewriter, while William Burroughs paces back and forth.) Allen: (typing) The city is suffocating me, William. We need to get out of here. We need some inspiration, a change of scenery. William: (smirking) I couldn't agree more, Allen. Let's escape this concrete jungle and find some adventure. How about heading down South? Allen: (excited) South? That sounds intriguing. But where exactly? Scene 2: Road Trip Commences (A car packed with their belongings. Allen and William hop in. As they drive, they discuss their plans.) Allen: (driving) I heard Kentucky has some hidden gems, beautiful landscapes, and interesting characters. What do you think? William: (leaning back) Sounds like a plan. I hear there's a particular writer living there who's quite the character himself—Hunter Thompson. Allen: (grinning) Ah, Thompson
