A Disney Play

Act I

The stage is dark and the sound of bells chime across the stage. A spotlight then shines on a young man, dressed in a bright and colorful uniform, as he begins the play in his own words.

Jester: "Why hello there. I am the current king's jester! And I am he- What was that? Who is the king you ask? Why, it's King Aladdin of course; King of Paris in fact! What do you mean Aladdin isn't the king of Paris? Of course he is! Or else I would not be here. Now, now, don't squabble amongst yourselves. If you want answers I shall give them to you! Are you ready for a story like no other? Great! Then let us begin."

He swings his body as he walks off the stage, the spotlight turns off, and the stage is black again. The lights above the stage come on and show the scenery of the first scene.

Scene 1 - The background of the stage is decorated as a Cathedral, as the audience gets used to the scenery, Minister Frollo, an elderly man, makes his first appearance on stage, holding a baby.

Minister Frollo: "I cannot believe that so called KING gave me my nephew, his son, to raise as my own just because he is the second born son!" Frollo set the sleeping infant in a crib and looks down at him. "Do not worry Aladdin; I will give you the life I never had." He ran his hand over the infants head. Mother Gothel then enters the scene with a baby in her arms as well.

Mother Gothel: "And how, may I ask, will you be able to do that, Frollo?" The seemingly mid-aged woman asked.

Minister Frollo: "Gothel!?" He yelled turning around. "What do you want?"

Mother Gothel: "Oh, I just came here to make sure you weren't or hadn't, done anything stupid, my dear." She said as she walked past him and set 'her' baby down next to Aladdin in his crib.

Minister Frollo: "Do not call me that you disgusting witch!"

Mother Gothel: "(Laughs). Oh please don't waste your breath flattering me!" She said sarcastically while her body moved in a flirtatious way. "Now I'll ask again: HOW do you plan on giving Aladdin the life you never had?"

Minister Frollo: "By killing Mufasa." He said walking towards the edge of the stage staring at the audience.

Mother Gothel: "And then you will be the next king, you'll raise Aladdin as the prince he is, and then he'll be in line as the next king. Correct?"

Minister Frollo: "Of course!" He yelled turning his head to the woman. He then walked to her. "Now, may I ask for you to do me a favor?" He barely bowed.

Mother Gothel: "What is it my dear?"

Minister Frollo: "I want you to use your magic to make my crime look like an accident." He put the tips of his fingers together in a menacing way.

Mother Gothel: "(Laughs). Oh that's just a teeny tiny favor. Of course I can do it for you." She pinched his left cheek with her hand.

Minister Frollo: "Now," he walked over to the crib behind Gothel. "Whose little girl might this be?" He looked down at Gothel's stolen child.

Mother Gothel: "Oh, just the daughter of a widow and widower." Gothel giggled after she spoke.

Minister Frollo: "What is her name – and what do you plan on doing with her?" He asked finally looking up at Gothel.

Mother Gothel: "Her name is Rapunzel – and I plan on doing two things with her." Gothel walked over to the crib on the opposite side of Frollo. "As you can tell I have already cursed her hair to be blonde, I did this so her hair can keep me young forever, instead of me having to rely on my potions – AND I will also train her to be a gypsy while keeping her in the tower outside of Paris, away from the ill and dying to use her as THEIR cure."

Minister Frollo: "Despicable!" He snapped.

Mother Gothel: "Says the man who plans to kill his brother." She spoke casually and Frollo scoffed at her remark then looked back at Rapunzel.

Minister Frollo: "Her hair would become extremely long because of the curse, correct?"

Mother Gothel: "It would, if the curse didn't keep her hair at a specific length; specifically ending at the small of her back. I mean – think about it: who in their right mind would want to take care of such unruly hair?" Gothel then looked down at the infants. "It seems they like each other."

Minister Frollo: "So it does." He looked at the infants. Then he looked back at Gothel. "Allow Rapunzel to be Aladdin's friend."

Mother Gothel: "For how long exactly?" She asked picking up Rapunzel.

Minister Frollo: "Five years. That will be short enough for the both of them to forget the other as they grow."

Mother Gothel: "Whatever you say." She said, as she began her exit off the stage. "See you soon." She cooed as she went off stage.

The stage then goes dark again.
