Cinderella: Yes, Daddy?

(Enter Lady Sybil)

Stepmother: Cinderella. What are you doing? You’re not working!

Father: But…

Stepmother: Work, girl, work. Make the breakfast. I’m hungry. I want my toast, jam, cheese and a cup of tea.

Cinderella: Yes, stepmother.

Stepmother: And you, Basil, what are you doing? Helping the girl?

Story-teller: Today there is a ball in the King’s palace. Invitation cards are sent to many important people of the kingdom. What about Lady Sybil? Will she also get an invitation card?

(Enter Pat and Liz)

Cinderella: Good morning, sisters.

Pat and Liz: Good morning, Mummy dear.

(Enter Postman)

Postman: Lord Basil. Lady Sybil. You are invited to the ball to the King’s palace. Here is your invitation card.

Pat and Liz: Oh, Mummy dear. How lucky we are!

Stepmother: Yes, we are. But we haven’t got new clothes. We need some beautiful clothes for the ball. I want a party dress.

Pat: And me, too. I want a beautiful white evening dress. And I want a blue hat and white shoes.

Liz: And me, too. I want a beautiful blue evening dress, blue shoes and a white hat.

Cinderella: And me, too. I can’t wear these old clothes. I want some new clothes.

Stepmother, Pat and Liz: You?...

Cinderella: Yes, me.

Stepmother: You can’t go to the ball.

Pat: No, you can’t go to the ball.

Liz: No, you can’t go to the ball.

Postman: Oh yes, she can. Look here. The invitation card says: “To Lord Basil and Lady Sybil and their three daughters.” So she can go to the ball.

Stepmother: Oh no, she can’t.

Postman: Oh yes, she can.

Pat and Liz: Oh no, she can’t.

Stepmother: Oh yes, she can.

Pat and Liz: What?

Stepmother: Yes, she can go to the ball. Of course, she can. Thank you, Postman. Goodbye. Cinderella, you can go to the ball. But first there’s some work for you to do. Make beds, go to the shop and buy food and drink, make tea, wash my clothes…

Liz: Wash my clothes.

Pat: And my clothes.

Liz: Wash my dress!

Pat: And my dress!

Liz: My stockings!

Pat: My socks!

Stepmother: And only then you can make your dress for the ball. And then you can go to the ball.

Cinderella: Oh no, I can’t do all that today! How can I go to the ball now?

Story-teller: So Lady Sybil with her two daughters has gone to the ball. Cinderella hasn’t goy new clothes. She can’t go to the King’s palace. It’s 9 o’clock. The ball is starting. Who can help her?

Cinderella: I’m so unhappy. I can’t go to the ball. Who can help me?

Fairy: I can help you, Cinderella.

Cinderella: But who are you?

Fairy: I’m your Fairy Godmother. I can do things for you. Now tell me what’s your problem?

Cinderella: My dear Fairy Godmother, I can’t go to the ball, but I want to go there so much!

Fairy: And where are your sisters? At the ball? M-m-m-m. Well, let me see. Aha! That’s a good idea! Cinderella, give me a box, that shoe – box over there.

Cinderella: Here you are.

Fairy: Now you stand there near the box. One, two, three! Look out of the window, Cinderella! Here’s your carriage! One horse and one driver. Now you can go to the ball.

Cinderella: My clothes. I can’t wear these at the ball.

Fairy: M-m-m-m, no, you can’t. Close your eyes, Cinderella. One, two, three! Now open your eyes.

Cinderella: What a beautiful dress!

Fairy: And so you are, Cinderella. Now you can go to the ball and have a good time.

Cinderella: Thank you, thank you, Fairy Godmother.

Fairy: But, Cinderella, there is just one thing.

Cinderella: Yes?

Fairy: You can have these things only until 12 o’clock. Come home before that time. Do you understand?

Cinderella: Oh yes, yes. Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much, Fairy Godmother!

Fairy: Bye, Cinderella. Have a good time and remember – you must be back home before 12 o’clock.

IV

Story-teller: We invite you to the King’s palace. The ball is going on here. All the guests enjoy themselves dancing, talking to each other and listening to music. All young girls try to attract Prince’s attention. But it seems to me he doesn’t like anybody. Let’s see what will happen next.

(Сцена на балу. Все танцуют падеграс.)

(Enter Cinderella.)

Prince: Who are you, my beautiful girl? What’s your name? Where do you live?

Cinderella: I live in the country with my father, stepmother and two stepsisters.

King: Oh dear. You are so pretty. Are you a princess, my dear beautiful girl?

Prince: No, your majesty, she lives in the country with her father and stepmother. But she is so nice, isn’t she?

(Принц приглашает Золушку и они танцуют вдвоем. В середине танец прерывается боем часов.)

Cinderella: Oh, I’m sorry. I can’t speak with you, I must go.

Prince: Oh no, stop, please, wait.

(Возвращается с туфелькой. Обращается к королю.)

Prince: She is so pretty. I want to marry her. But I even don’t know her name. What shall I do?

King: Don’t worry, we’ll find her. We have her shoe. You’ll marry that girl, whom this shoe suits.

Story-teller: The Prince went around the half of the kingdom and tried to find his sweetheart. At last he arrived at Cinderella’s house.

(В комнате находится вся семья. Посыльный подходит с туфелькой и обращается к сестрам.)

Postman: The Prince wants you to try this shoe on.

Liz: I want, I want to try it on.

Pat: Oh, I also want to try it on.

Postman: It doesn’t suit you. And you? Will you try it on, please?

Prince: Oh, my sweetheart! I love you!

King: Be happy, my children.
