Excerpts:
The
Dream Bird
The
central section of the scenery shows an immense and colourful bird. The
scenery to stage left shows an Arctic landscape with a polar bear and
reindeer. The scenery to stage right shows a savanna landscape with
elephants and a lion. Three narrators sit to stage right and three more
to stage left.
Narrator 1:
Once upon a time there was a
little hedgehog. Her name was Holly.
Holly Hedgehog comes on stage.
Narrator 2:
One day she went for a walk in
a meadow.
Narrator 3:
All at once a brightly coloured bird flew down and landed
before her very eyes.
The
Dream Bird flies onto the stage and swoops majestically down towards
Holly Hedgehog, landing in front of her.
Holly
Hedgehog: Brightly coloured
bird, how beautiful you are!
Narrator 4:
But the Dream Bird soon rose
up into the sky again.
Holly
Hedgehog: Brightly coloured
bird, stay here with me! I like you so much.
Narrator 5:
But the brightly coloured bird cannot have heard what the
little hedgehog said. Gracefully, he flew away.
Narrator 6:
How sad Holly Hedgehog felt!
Holly Hedgehog cries and rubs
her eyes.
Narrator 1:
So Holly Hedgehog walked all around looking for the brightly
coloured bird, and asked all animals if they had seen the wonderful
creature.
Holly
Hedgehog walks all around, searching. Meanwhile a small group of
squirrels comes on stage and dances a woodland squirrels’ dance. When
the dance is over they say
Squirrels:
We are the squirrels that can
leap from tree to tree.
Holly
Hedgehog: Sporty squirrels,
have you seen the brightly coloured bird?
Squirrel 1:
No, Holly Hedgehog, we have
not.
Squirrel 2:
Brown is the colour we have
eyes for little hedgehog.
Squirrel 3:
The colour of the nuts we
love!
