Sample Text:

Narrator:                            Good morning and welcome to our play on

Sleeping Beauty:              (Yawning) What kind of time do you call this? It can only be halfway through the night!

Queen:                                (Scolding) Sleeping Beauty! What have I told you about setting your alarm clock?

Sleeping Beauty:              (Sighing) Ah, sorry, mum! It’s just so hard to get back into the swing of things, after such a wonderful long nap!

King:                                    Well, it was lucky your mother’s alarm clock had a ‘one hundred year timer’ – or we’d still be sound asleep!

Narrator:                            (Gasping) What? You mean there is no handsome prince in this story!

Sleeping Beauty:              (Yawning loudly) Oh please! You’re going to send me back to sleep again if you continue with those old lines!

Narrator:                            But surely every good fairy tale needs a hero?

Sleeping Beauty:              (Angrily) And what’s wrong with a heroine?

Queen:  Precisely! I didn’t bring my daughter up to depend on men!
