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:

CARA:

SPINDLE:

Yes, I am!

No, you’re not and get off my stool!

Shan’t!

CARA:

(Starting to manhandle SPINDLESHANKS.) You mangy, miserable moggy, I’ll teach you who the little old lady is round here!

SPINDLE:

SPINDLE:

PRINCESS:

CARA:

No, you won’t!

(The PRINCESS enters.)

Excuse me –

Er, yes, my dear?
