James:
Thank you so much!(The MAGIC MAN turns to leave, he takes a few steps, and then turns back to
JAMES. Meanwhile in the back of the gym, the CHORUS OF GREEN
MAGIC has gathered. THE CHORUS OF GREEN MAGIC are all dressed in
green, with as many feathers, boas and magical elements as possible, each one
clutching a glowstick.)
Magic Man:
A word of warning James. Don’t let those green things in thereget away from you. If they do escape, then they will be working their magic
upon somebody else instead of you. And that isn’t what you want at all is it
my dear.
James:
No sir.9
Magic Man:
Whoever they meet first, be it a bug, insect, animal or tree, thatwill be the one who gets the full power of their magic! So hold the bag tight
James!
Chorus of Green Magic: (Whispering loudly) Hold the bag tight James!
Magic Man:
Don’t tear the paper!Chorus of Green Magic: Don’t tear the paper!
Magic Man:
Off you go! Hurry Up!Chorus of Green Magic: Hurry up James!
(Suddenly THE CHORUS OF GREEN MAGIC runs down the centre aisle
and surrounds JAMES in a circle. Then, they open up into a semi-circle so
that he can be seen. HE takes off running, with the CHORUS OF GREEN
MAGIC following close behind him. As they all run, the NARRATORS
continue their story.)
Narrator #1:
James was running back toward the house as fast as he couldgo.
Narrator #2:
He was heading to the kitchen right? To find the perfect jug tomix the concoction in?
Narrator #1:
Exactly right! He was terribly excited, but in the distance hecould see Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker through the window sitting in their
chairs in front of the telly.
Narrator #2:
Well he should go to the other side of the house, so they don’tcatch him! (Shouting to JAMES) Go in the back door James!
(As if hearing, JAMES turns suddenly and runs to the front of the
auditorium, the CHORUS OF GREEN MAGIC in pursuit.)
Narrator #1:
He swerved away from the window so he wouldn’t be seen, butthen suddenly just as he was passing underneath the old peach tree that
stood in the middle of the garden, something terrible happened!
(JAMES slips and falls, letting loose the precious paper bag.)
Narrator #2:
Oh no! The bag!10
(Suddenly, THE CHORUS OF GREEN MAGIC runs around the tree several
times. And immediately tries to spread out through the gym, each running in
a different direction. Frantically, JAMES gets up and tries to catch one or two
of the CHORUS members, but each escapes until they are all gone from the
gym and JAMES is left alone.)
James:
Good heavens, what if those magic things do meet up with anearthworm? Or a centipede? Or a spider? And what if they do go into the
roots of the peach tree? What have I done?
