RABBIT:
Who are you?
ALICE #1:
That's not a very polite way of introducing yourself.
RABBIT:
Whatever are you doing in my rabbit hole? I suppose you're going to
say you fell from the sky.
ALICE #1:
Well no, as a matter of fact I remember chasing a rabbit... he was
running so fast and saying...
RABBIT:
Oh, my ears and whiskers!
ALICE #1:
Yes, exactly like that. And he had a pocket watch...
(RABBIT takes out his watch.)
RABBIT:
Like this one?
ALICE #1:
Yes. And he kept saying...
RABBIT:
Oh dear, oh dear, I shall be too, too late! Well, good-bye.
ALICE #1:
I'm sure you mean, hello. I only just got here.
RABBIT:
Good-bye, hello, good-bye, hello...
ALICE #1:
I wish you'd make up your mind.
RABBIT:
No time. No time for that. I'm going to be late!
ALICE #1:
Late for what?
RABBIT:
Difficult to say. Very difficult to say.
ALICE #1:
But if you don't know what it is you are late for...
RABBIT:
No time for that now. Hello!
(Waves to her as he exits behind screen.)
ALICE #1:
But wait!
(ALICE #1 follows RABBIT behind
screen. ALICE #2 enters from other side of screen.)
ALICE #2:
He's gone. How very strange.
BLUE:
Alice found herself in a long low hall...
GREEN:
Which was lit up by a row of lamps...
RED:
And along one wall she found...
(ORANGE & PURPLE become
doors. They stand in playing area with arms making an arch
above their heads.)
ALICE #2:
Doors!
(ALICE knocks on ORANGE.
Other STORYTELLERS "knock, knock" sound using rhythm sticks.)
I guess nobody's home. I'll
just open one of them and...
(She tries to turn PURPLE's
knob, his fist, it is locked.)
Locked. Oh, dear, how will I
ever get back home?
(RED becomes table by getting
down on all fours.)
RED:
(Speaks as he
becomes table.)
Suddenly she came upon a little three legged table, all made of glass.
ORANGE:
(Placing key on
RED's back.)
There was nothing on it but a tiny golden...
ALICE #2:
Key!
