The Invisible Woman Page #4
MARIA:
Nelly, look-
MARIA beaming, eyes searching the poster, at last finding Mrs
Frances Ternan, Miss Maria Ternan, Miss Ellen Ternan. NELLY,
MARIA and MRS TERNAN peering at the poster with quiet awe.
NELLY:
Yes, there we are.
MRS TERNAN:
The print is a little small, but no
matter.
CHARLEY beyond waiting. MRS TERNAN ushering MARIA and
NELLY inside. Their bonnets and skirts a flash of
colour against the grey of Manchester life all around

CHARLEY leading the trio of women along an impressive wood
lined corridor. Chairs stacked either side.
10 INT. MAIN HALL. FREE TRADE HALL. MANCHESTER. 1857. DAY 10
The opulent and magnificent interior of the Free Trade
Hall-
Paintings of the Kings and Queens of England flank one side
of the wall as CHARLEY leads them towards-
A beautiful theatre in the final moments of construction at
the far end of the vast hall. CARPENTERS, STAGE MANAGEMENT,
GASLIGHT ENGINEERS working around the distant figure of
CHARLES DICKENS [mid 40’s] lost in directing the STAGE HANDS
and STAGE MANAGEMENT in placing the scenery on the stage.
DICKENS:
Yes..Yes..If we could have the flat
over there..We need to create as
much space as possible..We’ll
probably have to bring everyting to
the left..What worked at Tavistock
house will seem lost here..Our set
looks like a toy theatre if we do
not-
CHARLEY leading NELLY, MRS TERNAN and MARIA towards the stage-
CHARLEY:
Father-
DICKENS turns and at once he is lost behind a huge flat of
painted rocks being manoeuvered into place on the stage. Once
the scenery has past, he is revealed. He jumps down from the
stage, springing across the hall, smiling, arms outstretched
delighting in their arrival-
DICKENS:
At last we have a full company! Mrs
Ternan welcome.
MRS TERNAN:
Mr Dickens.
(surveying theatre)
What a beautiful theatre you have
built for us.
DICKENS:
We have tried. I am glad. Welcome
Miss Maria..A good journey I hope?

MARIA:
Yes..Yes..Mr Dickens. Thank you.
MRS TERNAN:
It was quite comfortable.
DICKENS:
Good. Good. And you must be Miss
Ellen Ternan.
DICKENS stops, mid way through shaking their hands, pausing
on NELLY, with a smile.
DICKENS (CONT’D)
You’ve met my eldest son Charley of
course.
NELLY:
Yes..yes..He very kindly rescued my
glove.
DICKENS:
Ah, the gallant chevalier!
DICKENS grips CHARLEY’s shoulder in passing, turning to
present them to the MEMBERS of the COMPANY
