_____________________________________________________________________________
SCENE I
(This
is a park; there is a tree in the middle of the park. There is a bush on the
right hand side of the park. Some children are on the park. They look bored.)
Child A :
Oh! I’m bored! I’m so bored!
Edward :
I have an idea. Let’s play hide-and-seek!
(All
the children agree.)
All Child :
Paper, scissors, stone. Paper, scissors, stone. You lose! You’re the ghost.
Child A :
I’ll count from 1 to 10. You all hide yourselves quickly.
(Child A leans on the tree and begins to
count. All the children run away and exits except Edward.)
Edward :
Where can I hide? It maybe a good idea to hide in the bush. (squats in the
bush.)
Child A :
Where are you? (looks around and exits.)
(All
the children enter.)
Child
A : I can’t find Edward. I’ve
looked everywhere. Well, maybe she’s gone home. Let’s go home, too!
(All
the children exit. The light becomes dark and then is turned on. The big tree
at this moment has already been replaced by the Emerald City.)
Edward :
Mm… Where’s everybody? (looks around) Where are they? Where’s this place?
(The king of the kingdom enters.)
Edward :
Excuse me. Could you please tell me where this place is?
King : This is the land of the Munchkins.
Edward :
The land of the Munchkins! You mean I’m in L. Frank Baum’s book The Wizard of Oz?
King : That’s right.
Edward :
Are you sure?
King : 100% sure!
Edward : Oh, no. (to herself) How do I go
home? (to the king) Do you know how I can get out of here?
King : I’m afraid I don’t know,
young lady. But you can go ask the greatest wizard of Oz. He lives in the
Emerald City. He knows many things.
Edward :
The wizard of Oz? Thanks.
(Edward
and the king of the Munchkins exit. The light becomes dark.)
SCENE II
(Oz
stands on. The light is turned on.)
Oz
: People think I’m a
great wizard. They want me to help them solve their problems. But I’m just an
ordinary woman. I don’t have any magic power. That’s why I never let anyone see me.
(silence.) Now there’s someone who wants to see me. She seems to be like me
coming to this world unintentionally. Perhaps I can use her to prevent people
from asking me for favors.
(Suddenly,
the Edward surprised Oz)
Edward :
Are you the greatest wizard of Oz that people say you are?
Oz : I’m Oz, the Great and Terrible!
Who are you? Why have you come here?
Edward : I’m Edward. I came to this land
by mistake. I want to go home. Can you help me?
Oz
: Certainly! I’m Oz,
the Great and Terrible! I can do anything! (pauses) But you must do me a favor first.
Edward :
But… Aren’t you the one that can do anything yourself?
Oz : Shut up! (pauses) I don’t
like visitors very much. But now a group of strange people is looking for me. I
don’t want to see them. You must stop them.
Edward :
But… I’m only an ordinary child. I can’t help you.
Oz : It doesn’t matter. I’m only an
ordinary woman myself… Oh, I mean I’m a great and terrible wizard. I’ll help
you.
Edward :
OK. Thank you. (The light becomes dark.)
SCENE III
(This
is a field. Dorothy and her friends are crossing it. The Scarecrow and the Tin
Woodman are walking before the Lion and Dorothy.)
Scarecrow : Tell them to hurry!
Tin
Woodman : OK… I’ll KILL them… (He takes
out an axe. Dorothy and the Lion fall down with Tin Woodman’s strike.)
Scarecrow : (Sees Dorothy falling down.) You idiot! I
said TELL, not KILL. Oh no! You… You… You really killed them!
Tin Woodman : I… I did not!
Scarecrow : (Checks Dorothy and the Lion’s breath)
Thank goodness. They just fell asleep.
Tin Woodman : What should we do? They’re sleeping.
Scarecrow
: (To Dorothy and the Lion) Wake up!
Tin
Woodman : What should we do? They’re sleeping soundly.
It must be these flowers all around us that made them go to sleep!
Scarecrow
: Perhaps we can carry them and get out of
this terrible place?
Tin
Woodman : Good idea! (goes to pull
Dorothy) Oh! She’s too heavy! I can’t move her! She has to lose some weight.
Scarecrow
: What should we do?
(The
Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman squat. After some silent moments, the Tin Woodman
stands up suddenly.)
Tin Woodman : Perhaps we can get a dinosaur to carry her
out.
Scarecrow
: Good idea! But where can we find
dinosaurs?
Tin
Woodman : Oh! Perhaps we can look for
a time machine to take us back to the time right before she fell asleep.
Scarecrow
: Good idea! But where can we find a time
machine?
Tin Woodman : Oh. Perhaps we can….
Scarecrow
: Shut up!
Tin Woodman : Oh! I can’t stand this! If I continue to
think, I’ll get rusty soon. (stands up)
Scarecrow
: Where are you going?
Tin Woodman : (stumbles) I …
(A
cat, which cannot be seen by the audience, cries out “Meow!”)
Tin
Woodman : What have I stepped on? (sees
a mouse, which cannot be seen by the audience) Oh, I just stepped on a cat and
killed it. A mouse! (to the mouse) Who are you? (to the Scarecrow) I can’t
understand what the mouse says. Can you tell me what it says?
Scarecrow : (to the mouse) You say that you’re the
Queen of all the field mice. And he has just killed the cat which was running
after you, and saved your life. So you’ll give us a wish?
Tin Woodman : Hey! A wish! Let me think about it!
Scarecrow :
Can you help us to get her out of the field? (points to Dorothy) You say this is
an easy job! Hundreds and thousands of your people will help us get out of the
field? Thank you, Your Majesty!
Tin
Woodman : Hey, Your Majesty! Where are
you going? You haven’t heard my wish yet!
(The light gets dark and is
turned on.)
Oz : I can’t believe this.
Dorothy and her friends got out of the field! Luckily, I’ve told Dorothy to go
find the Wicked Witch of the West. Now I’ll call Edward and tell her to get ready.
(to Edward) Edward, get ready now. Dorothy and her gang are coming now.
SCENE IV
Dorothy :
What should we do now?
Scarecrow :
I don’t know!
Tin Woodman :
(finds something) What’s that? UFO?
Scarecrow :
An angel? The Wicked Witch of the West?
(Edward
enters and laughs.)
Dorothy :
A Winged Monkey?
Edward :
What? Monkey? Did you say I look like a monkey?
Dorothy :
Yes. I never lie!
Edward :
What? I…I’m furious! I must punish you! (takes Dorothy away) Ha ha ha!
Dorothy :
Help! Help!
(Edward
and Dorothy exit.)
Tin Woodman :
Now…what should we do?
Scarecrow :
I don’t know. Perhaps we can try every possible means to rescue her.
Tin Woodman :
Good idea.
(The
light gets dark.)
SCENE V
(this
is a yellow castle.)
Edward : Mop the floor clean quickly! Wipe
the windows after you finish mopping the floor. There’re 365 windows altogether
in this castle. Don’t miss any! Then wash the clothes, water the flowers, and
feed the fish!
Dorothy :
Why do I have to do so many things?
Edward :
Because you’re a bad girl. You said I look like a monkey!
(Dorothy
takes the bucket from the floor.)
Edward :
What are you doing?
Dorothy :
(pours water from the bucket on Edward) Well!
Edward :
Oh!
(Edward
changes into a posture in scene one gradually. The light gets dark and is turned
on again.)
Edward :
Oh!
Park Keeper :
(amazed) You shocked me!
Edward :
Oz?
Park Keeper :
What?
Edward :
Oz, someone splashed water on me. Can I go home now?
Park
Keeper : Poor child, I’m not Oz. I’m
only a park keeper, and you were sleeping in the bush just now. If you want to
go home, you should look for the police, not Oz.
(Mother
enters. The park keeper exits.)
Mother :
Edward, where have you been? I’ve been looking all over for you.
Edward : Mom, I had a strange dream. There
were Oz and Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman in my dream.
Mother :
Really?
Edward :
Can you tell me the story The Wizard of Oz again? I’d like to listen to it
again.
Mother :
Certainly! But where do you want me to begin?
Edward :
After the Wicked Witch of the West has melted.
