Act 1 Once a successful aspiring comic artist and proud ‘geek’, Frank (20) was on his way to becoming a well-known illustrator. However, a stressful, deadline filled, life-style combined with easy access to a variety of street slung narcotics eventually threw him into a downward spiral into drug addiction and mental illness. Now a borderline insane, unemployed recluse holding onto his love of superheroes, Frank is striving to find something new to occupy his scatter brained existence. Finding inspiration in his childhood super hero idols, he discovers a release in the form of taking to the streets, and attempting to serve justice to small time criminals as his ‘super-hero alter ego’, The Mask. Known simply to the media and the public as ‘Junkie’. Act 2 Armed with crudely made weapons, makeshift vigilante armour and a system full of illegal substances, Frank patrols the rooftops and back allies of central Brighton and beyond, causing disturbance and chaos for the local authorities but occasionally doing something good, helping people in need and stopping crimes with his own unique style of fighting movement. One that involves taking a lot of hits. His new lifestyle starts to make his drug dependence wane slightly because of the adrenaline rushes and excitement he gains from getting into dangerous situations and living his childhood fantasy. During one of The Mask’s patrols, an unsuccessful attack on of a group of criminals leads to his detainment by authorities and he is taken into custody at a rehabilitation centre where he struggles to come to terms with his sanity and the lack of drug access. He begins to have hallucinations and confuses reality with his imagination. Act 3 Eventually deciding that whatever his condition is he needs to escape in order to continue fighting the good fight on the streets of Brighton, he makes multiple attempts to leave the complex, but is stopped. As Frank is held longer he becomes more delusional, and soon sees the staff in the centre as hostile ‘villains’ and fights his way through some of his constraints, escaping and storming onto the rooftops of Brighton once again. He makes a new suit and goes back out on patrol but is traced by authorities that have determined him a threat to the public and himself. He runs from them but is soon cornered at the top of a tall building. Rather than letting them take him back into protection again he dives over the edge, his ruined mind believing that he has superpowers that will allow him to survive and is killed by the fall.
