SCRIPT

Once upon a time there were a man and a woman who in vain wished for a child. They had a little window at the back of their house from which a splendid garden could be seen. This garden was full of the most beautiful flowers and herbs. This garden was surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared to go into it because it belonged to a wicked witch  named  Dame Gothel. (Narrator)

One day the woman sees a plant called rampion, uses to make salads. (Narrator)

Woman         :  My darling, I have a strong desire of a salad made from that plant. If I don’t eat it now, I know I will surely die.

Man             :  Very well, my dear, if you want it… you will have it.

At midnight, the husband climbes the wall into the garden of the witch and starts taking some rampion. (Narrator)

Man             :  Rampion, rampion, this is for my darling wife.

The man takes the rampion and his wife makes a salad of it and eats it. It tastes so good to her, that the next day she eats three times as much as before. So her husband knows that he must once more go into the garden. (Narrator)

Man             :  Rampion, rampion, this is for my darling wife.

When he has the rampion in his hands, he sees the terrible witch standing before him. (Narrator)

Dame Gothel : How do you dare, come into my garden and steal my rampion like a thief!   You will suffer for it!

Man             : Oh, please forgive me!   My wife saw your rampion from the window, and she wanted it so bad, that she would have died if she didn’t have some to eat.

Dame Gothel : If you´re telling me the truth, I will let you take with you as much rampion as you want… only I make one condition…  you must give me the child which your wife will bring into the world; it shall be well treated, and I will care for it like a mother.

The man in his terror consents to everything. When the baby is born, the witch appears, gives the child the name of Rapunzel, and takes it away with her. (Narrator)

Dame Gothel : Ha, ha, ha,ha

Rapunzel grows into a beautiful child under the sun, she plays in the woods and takes very good care of her long hair. (Narrator)

Rapunzel      : (combing her hair) I like to comb my long beautiful hair.

When she sees twelve years old, the witch shat her into a tower in the middle of a forest. The tower has neither stairs nor door, but near the top is a little window. When the witch wants to go in, she places herself beneath it. (Narrator)

Dame Gothel :  Rapunzel, Rapunzel! Let down your hair to me.

Rapunzel      :  Yes, let me unfasten my braided tresses so that you can climb up.

After a year or two, the king’s son is walking in the forest when he hears a song, which is so charming that he stands still and listens. (Narrator)

Rapunzel      : (singing) Du,du,du,la, la, la….

Prince          :  Oh. What a beautiful song! Who is singing so lovely?

The lovely voice comes from Rapunzel´s tower. The king’s son wants to climb up to her, and looks for the door of the tower, but none is to be found. (Narrator)

Prince          :  Now what shall I do? There´s no way of climbing up. There are no stairs and no doors.

He goes back home, but the singing has touched his heart, that every day he go out into the forest and listens to it. One day he is standing behind a tree, when he sees the witch coming, and he hears what she says. (Narrator)

Dame Gothel : Rapunzel, Rapunzel! Let down your hair to me.

Then Rapunzel let down the braids of her hair, and the witch climbs up to her. (Narrator)

Prince          : So that’s the way I can climb to the tower! I will do the same.

             The next day when it begins to grow dark, he goes to the tower. (Narrator)

Prince          : Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair to me.

Immediately the hair falls down and the king’s son climbs up. (Narrator)

Rapunzel      : Oh… who are you?

Prince          : Darling, my heart is yours. I have never seen anybody as beautiful as you. Will you marry me? Will you be my wife and live with me in my kingdom?

Rapunzel      : Yes, I will. You´re young and handsome.

Prince          : Then it is settled. We’ll get marry right away! Just let down your hair and let´s go.

Rapunzel      : I will go away with you, but I do not know how to get down. If I get down my hair, then how will I get down?

Prince          : You’re right! Hmmmmm

Rapunzel      : You have to go now. The witch will come soon.

Prince          : Yes, but don´t worry Rapunzel, I’ll think of something.

When the king’s son is getting down, the witch is already there, and says. (Narrator)

Dame Gothel : Uhh, you have come to take Rapunzel! Now you will never see her again!  Ha,ha,ha,ha!

The witch cast a spell on the prince and he wonders in the woods, without seeing a thing and eating only plants, roots, and berries (Narrator)

Dame Gothel : Ah! you wicked child! I thought I separated you from the world, and yet you have deceived me!, and just for that I will cut your beautiful hair!

In her anger the witch cut Rapunzel’s beautiful tresses. Then she takes her into a desert where she has to live in great grief and misery. Meanwhile, the prince roams about in misery for two years, and finally, he gets to the desert where Rapunzel, with the twins to which she has given birth, a boy and a girl, lives in poverty. (Narrator)

Prince          : That voice that I hear seems so familiar to me.

He goes towards it, and when he approaches, Rapunzel says. (Narrator)

Rapunzel      : Oh prince, I missed you so much! I am so happy to see you that I am crying.

Two of her tears wets his eyes and they grow clear again, and he can see with them as before. (Narrator)

Prince          : I can see again! Oh my sweet Rapunzel, what have they done to us! Let’s now go to my kingdom.

He takes her to his kingdom where they are joyfully received, and they live happily ever after. (Narrator)

SCRIPT

In a far away land there were a king and a queen

One day, they want to have a child. (Narrator)

King and Queen: Ah, if only we had a child!

But they never had one.  One day the queen is bathing, a frog leaps out of the water onto the land, and says to the Queen. (Narrator)

Frog: Your wish shall be fulfilled, before a year has gone by, you shall have a daughter.

What the frog had said comes true, and the queen has a little girl who is very pretty. (Narrator)

King: I am so happy with my precious daughter.  I want to give a great feast.

The King invites not only his family and friends, but also the thirteen fairies in his kingdom.  He only has twelve golden plates for them to eat out of, so one of them is not invited. The feast is held with splendor, and the fairies present their magic gifts to the baby – one give virtue, another beauty, a third riches, and so on with everything in the world that one can wish for.  Suddenly the thirteenth come into the palace really angry. (Narrator)

Thirteenth Fairy: The king’s daughter shall in her fifteenth birthday prick herself with a spindle, and fall down dead.  Ha, ha, ha, ha.

And, without saying another word, she turns around and leaves the room. They are all shocked, but the twelfth fairy, whose good wish still remains unspoken, comes forward, and since she can not undo the evil spell, but only soften it, she says. (Narrator)

Twelfth Fairy: My Queen, it shall not be death, but a deep sleep of a hundred years, into which the princess shall fall.

King: Listen to me all of you!  I order you to burn every spindle in the whole kingdom.  Nothing will happen to my little daughter.

As years passed by, the gifts of the fairies are completely fulfilled on the young girl.  She is so beautiful, modest, good-natured, and wise, that everyone who sees her loves her.  One day, when she is fifteen years old, the king and queen are not at home, and the girl is left in the palace alone. She visites every place of the palace, looks into rooms, and bedrooms, and at last she comes to an old tower. (Narrator)

Princess: I have never been into that tower.  I will go up and see what`s up there.

She climbs up the narrow winding-staircase, and reaches a little door. (Narrator)

Princess: I wonder what`s inside that room.  I will take a look.

A rusty key is in the lock, and when she turns it, the door sprang opens, and there in a little room sit an old woman with a spindle, busily spinning her flax. (Narrator)

Princess: Good day, old woman. What are you doing?

Old Woman: Oh, come on in, little girl.  I am spinning.

Princess: What sort of thing is that, that rattles round so merrily?  I want to spin too.

Old Woman: Come near, child, don`t be afraid.

As soon as she touches the spindle, the magic spell is fulfilled, and she pricks her finger with it, she falls down on the bed and goes into a deep sleep. This sleep extends over the whole palace, including the king and the queen. (Narrator)

After many years, a prince from another country hears an old man talking about the castle. (Narrator)

Prince: Tell me old man, is it true that a beautiful princess has been asleep for a hundred years in that castle?

Old Man: It is true, your Majesty.  Nobody can enter the castle.  Many kings`sons have died trying to get inside.

Prince: But, how can that be?

Old Man: There`s a thorny hedge that keeps them from entering.

Prince: And, do you know the name of the princess?

Old Man: Her name is Briar-Rose.  The King and Queen and the whole court are also asleep.

Prince: I am not afraid of that thorny hedge. I will go and see the beautiful Briar-Rose.

Old Man: I am warning you not to go.  It is dangerous, and probably you will not return alive.

Prince: You will see old man.  I will came back, and Briar Rose will come back with me.

When the king’s son comes near to the thorn-hedge, it is nothing but large and beautiful flowers which let him pass unhurt, then they close again behind him like a hedge. (Narrator)

Prince: The old man was right. Everybody is sleeping, even the horses, and the pigeons, the cook and the maid.  Who could be so evil to do this!

When the Prince enters the great hall, he is seen by the throne, the king and queen. (Narrator)

Prince: I must keep looking for the princess. Oh, I see a small door over there, maybe she`s there.

He opens the door into the little room where Briar-Rose is sleeping. (Narrator)

Prince: Oh, she`s as beautiful as everybody said.   I have to kiss her!

But as soon as he kisses her, Briar-Rose opens her eyes and awake, and look at him quite sweetly. (Narrator)

Princess: Oh, what happened to me.  I can hardly remember…  who are you?

Prince: I am a Prince from a faraway country.  I am so happy that you woke up from a long sleep.

Princess: The last thing I remember now, is that I was talking to an old woman, then I hurt my finger with a spindle.

Prince: You must forget about all of that.  Now you are fine and safe.

Then the king and queen awake, and the whole court, and they look at each other in great astonishment.  And everybody in the castle wake up, the horses and pigeons, the cook and the maid. (Narrator)

Prince: Oh sweet Princess, I love you.  Will you marry me?

Prince: Yes, I will.

And soon the marriage of the Prince and Briar-Rose is celebrated with great splendor, and they live happy to the end of their days. (Narrator)
