SLEEPING BEAUTY
SCRIPT SAMPLE

Aurora has just learned that she is princess, soon to be wed. The Bad Fairy Morgana visits her in the castle tower.
(Script pages 33-36)

MORGANA:  Ah!  Such a sad sound.  Why are you crying my dear?

AURORA:  They say I must marry. 

MORGANA:  And you don’t want to?

AURORA:  No!  I love another!

MORGANA:  Tsk, tsk, tsk.   What a terrible thing.  I feel so sorry for you.

AURORA:  You do?

MORGANA:  Oh, yes, my poor child.  Why don’t you come here and let me comfort you.

(AURORA goes to MORGANA and buries her head in her lap.  MORGANA raises her arm and snaps her fingers.  GRUESOME GHOULS come forward with the spinning wheel, when it is placed they slink into shadows.)

Do you know what my mother used to say to me?  Whenever you feel sad or lonely, just sit at the spinning wheel a while.   It will make you better.

AURORA:  (Looking up and drying her eyes.)  Why how curious!  I’ve never seen anything like that before.

MORGANA:  Really?  It’s quite a nice little thing.  When you turn the wheel it makes yarn. Like magic!  Would you like to try it?

AURORA:  Why, yes.  Yes, I would.

            (MORGANA gets up to give AURORA her seat.)

MORGANA:  Just place your hand like so...  (Places AURORA’s hands.) That’s right.  Round and round...

AURORA:  Ah!  (Smiling.)  Round and round!  How quaint it is!

MORGANA:  Round and round goes the wheel my girl...  Just give it a tug and it starts to twirl...

AURORA: Yes, it does!

MORGANA:   It won’t be long till it does its trick... Don’t be alarmed if you feel... A PRICK!

            (MORGANA forces AURORA’s finger, pricks!)

AURORA:  Ah!  There’s blood!

MORGANA:   (Delighted.)  Yes, there is!

AURORA:  I feel...  I feel...

MORGANA:  A little bit faint?

AURORA:  Ah!

            (AURORA faints in MORGANA’S arms.

            SOUND CUE #18: MORGANA’S theme.) [sample]

MORGANA:  Ha! Ha! Ha!  My gift has finally arrived!!!!!!  

(MORGANA lays, AURORA down, GHOULS come out of the shadows, wringing their hands, circling AURORA.  MORGANA sweeps the stage, shaking her fist!) 

Take this you little fairies!  Take this, Lilac!  Here’s your goodness!  Here’s your beauty!  The princess is dead!!!!  The princess is dead!!!!!!!!  Ah, ha, ha, haaaa!!!!!!!!!!

          (SOUND CUE ENDS.)

GHOULS:  Round and round and round...

MORGANA:  The princess is dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GHOULS:  Round and round and round...

MORGANA:  Ah! Ha! Ha!  Ah Ha! Ha! Ha!!!!!!

(STORYTELLERS use a cymbal crash to end the scene as MORGANA and GHOULS exit.  Silence.  GARDENIA enters with cloth, as if it is wedding dress.  The cloth will be used later by STORYTELLERS.)

GARDENIA: Here we are, dear, this will cheer you up!  Wait until you see the lovely wedding dress we’ve conjured up...  (Sees AURORA for the first time, drops cloth.)  Oh, no!  Fairies!  Come quick!

            (GOOD FAIRIES enter and gasp!  They rush to AURORA.)

DAISY:  Aurora!

IRIS:  My princess!

LILAC:  (Looking around.)  Morgana!  This is your doing!

DAISY:  (Touching AURORA’s temple.)  She’s dead!

IRIS:  Dead!

GARDENIA:  Oh, no!

DAISY:  There will be no wedding for our sweet princess.

            (DAISY, IRIS, GARDENIA fall to sobbing.)

LILAC:  No!  Morgana cannot win! 

IRIS:  But what can we do?

LILAC:  We must be strong.  And we need everyone’s help.  (To Audience.) Everyone, reach deep within yourself and find all the beauty and strength you have in your heart.  Gather it up in your hand.  And send it to Aurora!

(LILAC blows across her hand as before, towards AURORA.  Audience does the same.  IRIS pats AURORA’S cheek.) 

IRIS:  (Tearfully.)  Nothing.  It didn’t work! 

LILAC:  Try again, everyone.  There is more goodness in you than you believe! Goodness must triumph over evil!

            (ALL repeat the action.)

AURORA:  (Sighing in sleep.)  Ah!

GARDENIA:  She lives!  (Tearful.)  She lives!

LILAC:  And yet she is asleep.
