Father:
(Offstage) It looks rather angry-AHHH!(The rhino’s jaws snap shut on stage. MOTHER and FATHER scream
offstage, and this is end of them. We hear a loud burp from the Rhino.)
Narrator #2:
That’s awful!Narrator #1:
It gets worse.Young James:
It does?Narrator #1:
Well as you can imagine it was a pretty nasty experience foreveryone involved. Suddenly James found himself alone and frightened in a
vast unfriendly world. The only living relatives were his two aunts. Their
names were Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker.
(Doom music fills the air, and in waddles Aunt Sponge, a voluptuous woman
– her costume is probably stuffed to make her look quite large – and Aunt
Spiker who is just that…spikey with a large nose and quite mean. It is very
likely that both are cross cast and males are playing their roles. Their voices
are high and piercing and should probably hurt the ears.)
Aunt Sponge:
Oh looook, there he is. Our dear little nephew!Aunt Spiker:
Oh poor wittle Jamesy! Left without a Mummy and a Daddy!Aunt Sponge:
(She embraces him deeply) But don’t you worry my dear boy,you’ll be loved by your Aunty Sponge and Your Aunty Spiker!
(Suddenly AUNT SPONGE shoves YOUNG JAMES away, and he falls on his
bum on the ground. AUNT SPONGE AND AUNT SPIKER cackle and
laugh.)
Aunt Spiker:
Well at least we’ve got a little servant! We’ve always wantedhelp around the house!
Aunt Sponge:
Come on you disgusting little beast, let’s go home.Aunt Spiker:
Such a miserable creature he is.(Both AUNTS exit, and YOUNG JAMES is left to sit bewildered on the floor.
Now enters a taller, older familiar looking fellow. Though he still has
kindness in his eyes, he is tired and broken down by life. No longer the happy

young boy we first met, we now see who James has become. JAMES holds out
a hand to YOUNG JAMES and helps him up.)
Narrator #2:
Now who’s this?Narrator #1:
This is James Hentry Trotter after he had been living with hisNarrator #2:
But he doesn’t look the same at all! What happened to thehappy little kid!
Young James:
(To Narrator #2) You’re telling me.James:
I’ll tell you what happened. Those aunts of mine are what happened.They’re horrible people. Selfish, lazy and cruel. And right from the
beginning they treated me like a filthy nuisance. They certainly never gave
me any toys to play with or picture books to look at. My room is as bare as a
prison cell.
