Script: Narrators
NARRATOR 1
Once Upon a Time in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle.
NARRATOR 2
Although he had everything his heart desired, the Prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind.
NARRATOR 3
But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold.
NARRATOR 4
Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away.
NARRATOR 1
But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances for beauty is found within.
NARRATOR 3
And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful Enchantress.
NARRATOR 4
The Prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart.
NARRATOR 2
As punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.
NARRATOR 3
Ashamed of his monstrous form, the Beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.
NARRATOR 1
The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom for many years.
NARRATOR 4
If he could learn to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken.
NARRATOR 2
If not... he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.
NARRATOR 1
As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope.
NARRATORS
For who could ever learn to love a Beast?
