Once upon a time there was a
king
and a
queen
who had long hoped for a child of
their own. When, at last,
a
baby princess was born, they thought that a good fairy
must have been looking after them.
-
I shall invite all
the fairies in the kingdom to
come to our baby’s christening!
- That would be nice!
A
Cradle Hymn.
Hush!
my dear, lie still and slumber;
Holy
angels guard thy bed,
Heavenly
blessings without number
Gently
falling on thy head.
Sleep
my baby; thy food and raiment,
House
and home, thy friends provide,
All
without thy care or payment:
All thy wants
are well supplied.
-
You shall have a lovely face
and you shall be gentle and loving!
- You shall be smart and you
shall have a lovely voice!
- I suppose you thought I was too old to do magic now! Well, I’ll show you! When the
Princess is fifteen years old, she shall prick her finger on a spindle and fall down dead.
- Oh, how can I have forgotten
her?
- And what shall we do now?
- I may be able to help. I can’t undo
the evil
spell,
but I can soften it a little. The
Princess will prick her finger on a spindle, but she will not die.
She will just fall asleep for a hundred years.
- Thank you. Thank you very much.
- I order
to destroy all the spindles in my kingdom.
ACTION 2
-
Year by year, the Princess grew
more lovely.
- On the morning of her fifteenth birthday the Princess wandered
through the palace.
- She climbed to a
high tower where she had never been before.
- There in a small room she saw an old woman at a spinning
wheel.
-
Good
morning!
-
Good morning!
-
What
are you doing?
-
I am spinning,
my child.
-
How
interesting! I have never seen that before. May I have
a look at it?
Of course!
You may even try to spin, my child. Look!
-
Oh!
Help me! Help! Oh, dear!
-
What’s the matter?
-
What’s happened?
-
What’s wrong?
Look here!
-
This young pretty child seems to be dead. How
horrible!
-
This
is our Princess!
-
Send for the King and Queen!
-
Let’s
go quickly!
-
Oh, no! That’s impossible!
-
You
see? The
Princess is dead!
-
No, she isn’t.
The Princess fell
into a deep, deep sleep.
-
And she will sleep for one hundred years. And in one hundred years a young prince will wake
her up.
-
Good night!
Sleep well!
-
Good night!
Sleep well!
-
Good night!
Sleep well!
ACTION 3
-
Almost
a hundred years had passed since the Princess had pricked her finger.
-
The
story of the beautiful sleeping Princess spread through the
kingdom and far beyond.
-
She
became known as the Sleeping Beauty.
-
Many princes tried to come to the
palace to rescue the Princess, but failed.
-
-
Good morning,
dear Prince!
-
-
Good morning!
-
-
Good
morning!
-
- What is happening here?
Why are
they
all asleep?
-
- You
see, dear Prince, one hundred years ago this Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger
on a spindle and fell into a deep sleep.
-
- I shall
not rest until I have seen her and woken her!
-
So late into the
night,
-
Though the heart be still as
loving,
-
And the moon
be still as bright.
-
-
For the sword
outwears its sheath,
-
And the soul
wears out the breast,
-
And the heart
must pause to breath,
-
And love
itself have rest.
-
-
Though the night was made for
loving,
-
And the day
returns too soon,
-
Yet we’ll go no more a-roving
-
By the light of the moon.
-
( Lord Byron )
-
- I would
give my whole kingdom
if you would wake and be my bride. Awaken, dear Princess!
-
- I have
been sleeping so long!
-
- You
have been sleeping for one hundred years. Have you been sleeping well?
-
- Oh!
Yes! And I have seen you already, dear Prince! I saw you in my dreams.
-
- Will
you marry me?
-
-
Yes, I shall!
-
- Be happy!
-
-
Be happy!
-
-
Congratulations, dear
Sleeping Beauty!
