Tanrı Dağı Ziyafeti - 1954

Sahne yarı karanlıktır. Arka salonda kahkahalar, haykırışmalar, alkış ve düdük gürültüleri ile dansedilmekte, çiftlerin gölgeleri kuvvetle aydınlanmış buzlu camlar üzerinden geçmektedir. Şerif Ali Dayı ıskarpinlerinden birini çıkararak sağdaki koltuklardan birine tünemiş bu gölgeleri seyretmektedir. Başında melon biçimi bir fötr şapka vardır. Koltuğun yanında bir bavul, bir sepet, bir de şemsiye duruyor. Huriye soldaki kapıdan girer. Yaşına uymayan bir gece elbisesi ve baş tuvaleti.
