Scene One
(At the Darling family’s place)
Narrator: All this has happened before, and it will all happen again, but this time it happened in London <Рисунок1>. Peter Pan chose this particular house because there were people here who believed in him. These people were the Darling family.
Mrs Darling (irritated): George, dear, do hurry. We mustn’t be late for the party, you know.
Mr Darling: Boys, boys, less noise, please.
John and Michael: Oh, hello father.
Mr Darling (looking for it): Where is my tie? (once he has found, he puts it on)
Mrs Darling: Wendy. Wendy!
Wendy: Yes, mother?
Mrs Darling (instructively): Young lady, this is your last night in the nursery.
Wendy: But mother, I don’t want to grow up.
Mrs Darling: Now dear don’t worry about it anymore tonight.
Mr Darling: Good night dear children! It’s time to go to bed!
John, Michael and Wendy (all together): Good night!
Narrator: A minute later Mr and Mrs Darling left the house. Every night Wendy, the oldest sister, told her brothers stories about the adventures of Peter Pan.
Michael (pulling Wendy’s nightdress): Tell us more about Peter Pan!
John: Yes, please Wendy! Tell us another story! Please, please! (also pulling Wendy’s nightdress)
Wendy: It’s late and tomorrow we have school.
Michael (disappointed): Oh.
Wendy: Now, close your eyes and go to sleep. Good night and sweet dreams.
Michael and John (yawning): Good night, Wendy.
Narrator: A few hours later they woke up frightened because they heard strange noises in the room.
John: Did you hear that?
Michael: Yes, did you, Wendy?
Wendy (surprised): Yes…But what’s that light over there?
John: Where?
Michael: What is it?
Wendy: It’s…
Tinker Bell: Yes! It’s me Tinker Bell!
Wendy, Michael, John (staring at her in disbelief): Tinker Bell!
Narrator: Then something extraordinary happened. Peter Pan appeared right there in the middle of the room.
Wendy, Michael, John (all together): Peter Pan!
Wendy: I’m so glad that you came back tonight. I might never have seen you.
Peter Pan: Why?
Wendy: Because I have to grow up tomorrow.
Peter Pan: Grow up?
Wendy: Tonight’s my last night in the nursery.
Peter Pan: But that means no more stories.
Wendy (sniffling): Mm-Hmm
Peter Pan: No! I won’t have it! Come on.
Wendy: But where are you going?
Peter Pan: To Neverland.
Wendy: Neverland?
Peter Pan: You’ll never grow up there.
Wendy (dreamily): Oh Peter, it would be so wonderful. But wait! What would mother say?
Peter Pan (puzzled): Mother? What’s a mother?
Wendy: Why, Peter, a mother’s someone…who loves and cares for you and tells you stories –
Peter Pan: Good! You can be our mother. Come on. Do you want to come with us?
Wendy: Where?
Peter Pan: Tinker Bell and I can take you to Neverland, where the lost boys live.
John: To Neverland?
Michael: Where the lost boys live?
Wendy: We can’t fly.
Peter Pan: Tinker Bell will help you. She will blow on you fairy dust, and you will fly.
Narrator: Then Tinker Bell blew some fairy dust over the kids, and they started to fly.
Michael: Look at me!
John: Look at me! I am flying!
Michael: Oh, lovely!
Scene Two
(At the Mermaids’ Lagoon)
Narrator: And up and down they went, and round and round, until finally the five of them were out of the room and up in the sky. They flew days and nights. Sometimes they were cold, and sometimes they felt warm. Sometimes they were hungry, and sometimes they were sleepy. One day they were flying over Mermaid’s lagoon.
Wendy: Just imagine. Real, live mermaids.
Peter Pan: Would you like to meet them?
Wendy: Oh, Peter, I’d love to!
Peter Pan: All right. Come on. (mermaids appear on the stage dancing to the music) (Приложение 3)
Mermaids (echoing): It’s Peter! Oh! Hello Peter! Hello! Hello Peter!
Peter Pan: Hello girls!
Mermaid 1: I’m so glad to see you. Why did you stay away so long? Did you miss me? Tell us one of your adventures. Something exciting.
Mermaid 2: Oh, I’ve always liked your stories.
Mermaids (all together): Me too!
Mermaid 1: Who’s she?
Peter Pan: Huh? Oh, that’s Wendy.
Mermaid 3: A girl? What’s she doing here? And in her nightdress too! (to Wendy) Come on, dearie! Join us for a swim (pulling Wendy’s nightdress).
Wendy (trying to resist): Oh please! I’m not dressed for –
Mermaids: But you must! We insist!
Narrator: But Peter suddenly heard something in the distance. Leaping upon the rock Peter Pan pointed to a ship in the middle of the ocean, and said.
Peter Pan: Look! That’s Captain Hook´s ship. We have to be very careful with him. He wants to have me prisoner.
Wendy: Who is Captain Hook?
Peter Pan: A long time ago, a crocodile bit off Hook’s hand along with his watch. That’s why, when he hears a tick, tack he gets really nervous. Since he can’t get me, then he tries to get the little children.
Narrator: Since Peter Pan was very kind and polite to Wendy, Tinker Bell felt a pain in her heart, and thought.
Tinker Bell (annoyed): I am jealous! I have been through a lot of adventures, but I can’t stop feeling selfish. I have to get out of here!
Narrator: And she flew away.
Wendy, Michael, John, Peter Pan (running after her): Tinker Bell! Where are you going!
Scene Three
(At the Lost Boys’ House)
Narrator: But Tinker Bell flew and flew until she decided to rest for a while in one of the houses of the lost boys. (Lost boys appear on the stage scratching their heads)
Tinker Bell: Please, lost boys, help Peter Pan. He’s flying with three children, but a great mean bird is chasing them.
Lost Boy 1: Where?
Tinker Bell: Look, up in the sky! There it is! It’s behind Peter Pan!
Narrator: Then one of the lost boys took out his bow and arrow and fired straight at Wendy.
Lost Boy 2: Now Peter Pan is safe!
Narrator: Wendy felt a strong pain and she fell down slowly to the ground. When the lost boys saw she wasn’t a mean bird, but a beautiful girl, they were surprised. Then they said.
Lost Boys (all together): We think we had a mother once. What was she like? What was she like? We forgot. We had a white rat. That’s no mother!
Lost Boy 3: Will you be our mother?
Wendy: I am only a little girl. I have no experience, but I’ll try.
Scene Four
(Pirates and Captain Hook)
Narrator: That night and every day she took care of the little children and she told them about Peter Pan’s adventures. However, one night, while they were at the square, they heard terrible voices. (Приложение 4)
Pirates (dancing to the music):
Yo ho, yo ho
So try the life of a thief
Just sample the life of a crook
There isn’t a boy
Who won’t enjoy
a-working for Captain Hook
The world’s most famous crook!
Captain Hook: You are my prisoners!
Narrator: Suddenly the clock struck, tick tock, tick, tock, and he was furious. He grabbed Wendy and said.
Captain Hook: If you want to see her again, tell Peter Pan to come and get me.
Narrator: They got into their horses, and left quickly to their ship. The lost boys told Peter Pan about what had happened. Peter Pan left Michael and John with his friends, and headed to the pirate’s ship.
Peter Pan: Captain Hook! Here I am! Let Wendy go!
Captain Hook: Ha, ha, ha! Welcome aboard, Peter Pan! … (addressing the pirates) My loyal men, take her to land!
Narrator: When she arrived at land she went straight to the square of the lost boys, and said.
Wendy: Peter Pan is Hook’s prisoner! What can we do?
Narrator: At that moment they saw a light coming down from the sky, it was Tinker Bell.
Tinker Bell: Forgive me, Wendy. Please, be my friend again.
Narrator: Wendy smiled and said.
Wendy: We have to save Peter Pan.
Tinker Bell: I have a plan… follow me!
Narrator: Tinker Bell, Wendy, Michael, John, and the lost boys headed to sea in a boat. When they were near Captain Hook’s ship, Tinker Bell started to dance over the water. Soon, the sea waves started to sound, tick, tock, tick, tock.
Captain Hook: Stop it, please! I can’t stand that noise!
Tinker Bell: Let Peter Pan go, or the ocean will turn into a tick tock in your ears!
Narrator: Hook set Peter Pan free, and when Captain Hook and his pirates escaped, he and his friends went back to the square of the lost boys. That night everybody was celebrating.
Peter Pan: Thank you my friends. You saved my life! We have experienced one of the most exciting adventures!
Scene Five
(In John’s Bedroom)
Narrator: Then John woke up. They were in his bedroom.
John (stretching himself): Was it a dream?
Michael (yawning): Yes, maybe it was all a dream.
Narrator: Then Wendy saw Tinker Bell and Peter Pan up in the sky. They were waving good-bye.
Off singing voice: (Приложение 5)
When there’s a smile in your heart
There’s no better time to start
Think of all the joy you’ll find
When you leave the world behind
And bid your cares good-bye
You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!
