Scene 1
Storyteller: Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived an old woman with her grandchildren. I would like to tell you what happened to a boy called Kay. But silence. Let’s begin.
(A poor room, a fireplace, 2 armchairs, rose bushes)
Gerda: Hello, boys and girls! This is my brother. We live here, in this little house with our Granny. My name is Gerda.
Kay: And my name is Kay.
Gerda: What’s it?
Kay: Here is our Granny. Let’s frighten her.
Gerda: All right!
(The children are running around the room trying to hide.)
(A man enters)
Kay: Bow-wow-wow!
Gerda: Miaow-miaow!
Man: What’s going on in this house? Why are you shouting? You silly children!
Gerda: We are very sorry! We think you are our Granny.
(Granny enters)
Kay: Granny!
Gerda: Our Granny!
Granny: My dear children!
Man: Good evening, ma’am!
Granny: Good evening, sir! Who are you?
Man: I’m the King’s Counsellor! I want to buy the roses.
Granny: Do you like flowers?
Man: No, I hate them.
Granny: Why do you want to buy them?
Man: I buy rarities. In winter flowers are rare! Here are ten pounds for your roses.
Granny: I am not going to sell the roses. We like them very much.
Gerda: Yes, we love them.
Man: Thirty pounds:
Granny: No!
Man: Fifty:
Granny: No!
Man: I’m the King’s Counsellor! I’m very rich! I sell ice. I know the Snow Queen! I can buy anything!
Granny: They are not for sale.
Man: You are a crazy old woman!
Kay: Don’t shout at our Granny! She is so kind!
Man: Well, I’ll tell the Snow Queen about you!
Kay: What an angry man!
Gerda: Granny, who is the Snow Queen?
(The sounds of mysterious music)
Granny: The Snow Queen lives in the North! She is very beautiful but very cruel!
(The sounds of the blizzard)
(The Snow Queen appears)
The Snow Queen: Have you seen the Mystic Queen
Riding in her limousine
If you like I’ll take you there
Snow- white colours you can wear.
Kay: Oh! Who are you?
S.Q.: I am the Snow Queen. Good evening!
Granny: Good evening! Sit down, please!
S.Q.: No! It is very hot for me! You are very nice but old and poor. And I am very rich but alone. So, I’ll take this boy from you!
Kay: What? Granny! I don’t want to go with her!
Gerda: Granny! Don’t give Kay to her!
S.Q.: Kay! You’ll be my son! You will live in the beautiful palace!
Kay: I don’t want!
(The Snow Queen touches Kay with her magic wand. The frightful music sounds.)
Kay: Ha-ha-ha! How fat and funny you are!
Gerda: What’s the matter?
Granny: I don’t recognize you!
Kay: I don’t want to live in this poor house! I am leaving. Goodbye!
(He runs out)
