SLEEPING BEAUTY PANTO SCRIPT EXCERPT
Carabosse and her cat, Spindleshanks have smuggled a spinning wheel into the palace and are waiting for the Princess…
CARA:
It’s working! Now for my disguise!
(CARABOSSE drapes a shawl over her head. She does not notice SPINDLESHANKS, who does the same and sits behind the spinning wheel.)
(With an assumed voice.) Here am I, a little old lady, who spins and spins –
SPINDLE:
(With a similar assumed voice.) And here am I, another little old lady!
CARA:
Another little old lady?
SPINDLE:
Yes, I’m another little old lady, who spins and spins -
CARA:
You can’t be another little old lady, who spins and spins - I’m the little old lady, who spins and spins. You’re supposed to be the little old lady’s cat!
SPINDLE:
But I want to be a little old lady!
CARA:
You’re a cat!
SPINDLE:
I don’t care. I want to be a little old lady.
CARA:
But I’m the little old lady and you’re sitting on my stool!
SPINDLE:
That’s because I’m a little old lady –
CARA:
No, you’re not a little old lady!
SPINDLE:
