At the beginning, the father is sitting on a chair in the CENTRE facing the audience. A table with a cake on top it, is positioned LEFT CENTRE. The son is standing DOWN RIGHT facing his father at an angle so his face can be seen by the audience. The Father speaks with authority but graciously and never with any impatience in his voice. He smiles at the son and follows him with his eyes. The son uses his eyes to indicate, suspicion fear and doubt. Sometimes he views the cake like it is going to harm him and at other times he looks at it unworthily as if it is too good for him to even touch.
