Rise and Shine - Script sample Narr 3 In a warm nest, near the edge of the farmyard, a family of hedgehogs was fast asleep. Narr 4 All was quiet in the cosy hedgehog home. Narr 5 Except for the odd snuffling and snoring. Narr 6 But soon all that was to change. [The Sunbeams cross the stage to tinkling musical sound effects] Daddy H [Yawns and stretches] Oh that was a long sleep. [Gently shakes MH] Wake up Mummy Hedgehog. Mummy H [Yawns and stretches] Oh I'm so tired. We must have been asleep for ages. Daddy H All winter my dear. [The Sunbeams cross the stage to tinkling musical sound effects] Mummy H Well it's spring now. Time to get up. Daddy H I'll wake the children. [Gently shakes the children as he says their name] Wake up children Harry, Henrietta, Herbert come on Hannah time to get up. [The children yawn and stretch] Harry Do we have to? Henrietta I'm tired. Herbert I want to go back to sleep. Hannah [Jumps up] Great, the sun's shining. What's for breakfast? Mummy H Worms. Children Yippee! SONG 2: RISE AND SHINEThe song provides an opportunity for the hedgehogs to perform a simple dance routine based on waking up. At the end of the song they exit. Several flowers enter and curl up on the stage. |
