THEATRE PLAY

SCRIPT

(The narrators are in a room at the beginning of the stage. Behind them, a living room: an armchair, a sofa and one painting of some ducks in a farm)

Narrator 1: Have you heard that Solveg is missing?

Narrator 2: Is that true? How that happened?

Narrator 1: Oh, she should have listened to her parents when they told her not to talk with strangers…

Narrator 2 (scared): Witches again?

Narrator 1: Witches!

Narrator 1: Let´s see what happened….

(A girl is walking in the street and a woman with an apple approaches her.  The woman is wearing gloves)

Woman: Hello, little one, are you hungry? I have this delicious apple here for you.

Solveg: My father always tells me not to speak with strangers.

Women: That´s smart, but if you tell me your name we are not strangers anymore and I can give you this green, juicy apple.

Solveg: …..ok, I´m Solveg.

Women (gives the apple to the girl and turn her face with disgust) Here you are, I hope you like it.

Solveg: Yummy!

Women: See you soon, Solveg…

(One mother and one father enter the room and sit on the armchair and sofa, the mother is knitting, the father reads the newspaper, a new catches his attention)

Father: Oh no!

Mother: What happen, dear?

Father: Another missing child.

Mother: Oh, poor parents. That´s horrible.

(Solveg enters the room eating an apple)

Mother: Where did you take that apple, Solveg? It is not time for them, yet.

Solveg: A really beautiful woman gave it to me, she was charming, so beautiful and tall.

Father: What did we always tell you, Solveg? Never accept anything from estrangers.

Solveg: But the apple is delicious and the women was so nice.

Mother: Listen to your father, Solveg! A child has gone missing, and sure she also spoke with another estranger.

Solveg: But she was silly, I´m smart.

Father: Solveg….

Solveg: OK, dad…

(They left the room, lights went out and we can hear someone screaming: Solveg!...)

(Lights on, we can see the father, the mother and another girl in the living room)

Child: What happened?

Father: We went to bed last night and Solveg was in her room, but this morning she was not there.

Mother: Another child…

Father: Oh, look! Is Solveg!

Mother, and child: Where?

Father (pointing to the painting of the ducks in which now appears a little girl)

(All of them look around the room)

Mother: Where is she?

Father: Is there, in the painting.

(They all look into the painting)

(The mother and the father hugs each other)

Mother: Our poor Solveg…

Father: How did she end up there?

          Child: (looking at the audience) Witches…
