[jack’s mother]
i wish my son were not a fool

[jack’s mother, spoken]

[jack, spoken]
a warm environment might be just what milky white needs to produce his milk
[jack’s mother, spoken]

[baker’s wife, spoken]
why, come in, little girl
[little red riding hood]

just a loaf of bread, please
[narrator, spoken]
cinderella’s stepmother had a surprise for her
[stepmother, spoken]
i have emptied a pot of lentils into the ashes for you. if you have picked them out again in two hours’ time, you shall go to the ball with us
[little red riding hood]
and perhaps a sticky bun? or four?
[cinderella]
birds in the sky
birds in the eaves
and the leaves
in the fields
in the castles and ponds
[little red riding hood]
and a few of those pies, please
[cinderella]
come, little birds
down from the eaves
and the leaves
over fields
out of castles and ponds
[jack]
no, squeeze, pal
[cinderella]
ah!
quick, little birds
flick through the ashes
pick and peck, but swiftly sift through the ashes
into the pot
[jack’s mother, spoken]
listen well, son. milky white must be taken to market
[jack, spoken]
but mother, no, he’s the best cow
[jack’s mother, spoken]
was, was! she’s been dry for a week. we’ve no food nor money and no choice but to sell her while she can still command a price
[jack, spoken]
but milky white is my best friend in the whole world!
[jack’s mother, spoken]
look at her!
[jack’s mother]
there are bugs on her dugs
there are flies in her eyes
there’s a lump on her rump
big enough to be a cow
son, we’ve no time to sit and dither
while her withers wither with her
and no one keeps a cow for a friend
[jack’s mother, spoken]
sometimes i fear you’re touched
[little red riding hood]
into the woods, it’s time to go
i hate to leave, i have to, though
into the woods, it’s time, and so
i must begin my journey
into the woods and through the trees
to where i am expected, ma’am
into the woods to grandmother’s house
into the woods to grandmother’s house
[baker’s wife, spoken]
you’re certain of your way?
[little red riding hood]
the way is clear
the light is good
i have no fear
nor no one should
the woods are just trees
the trees are just wood
i sort of hate to ask it
but do you have a basket?
[baker, spoken]
don’t stray and be late
[baker’s wife, spoken]
and save some of those sweets for granny
[little red riding hood]
into the woods and down the dell
the path is straight, i know it well
into the woods and who can tell
what lies along the journey?
into the woods to bring some bread
to granny who is sick in bed
never can tell what lies ahead
for all that i know, she’s already dead
but into the woods
into the woods
into the woods
to grandmother’s house
and home before dark
[cinderella]
fly, birds
back to the sky
back to the eaves
and the leaves
and the fields
and the
[florinda]
hurry up and do my hair, cinderella
are you really wearing that
[lucinda]
here, i found a little tear, cinderella
can’t you hide it with a hat?
[cinderella]
you look beautiful
[florinda]
i know
[lucinda]
she means me
[florinda]
put it in a twist
[cinderella]
mother said be good
father said be nice
that was always their advice
so be nice, cinderella
good, cinderella
nice good good nice
[florinda]
tighter!
[cinderella]
what’s the good of being good
if everyone is blind
and you’re always left behind
never mind, cinderella
kind cinderella
nice good nice kind good nice
[florinda, spoken]
not that tight!
[cinderella, spoken]
sorry
[florinda, spoken]
clod!
[witch, spoken]
in the past, when you were no more than a babe, your father brought his young wife and you to this cottage. they were a handsome couple, but not handsome neighbors. you see, your mother was with child, and she had developed an unusual appet-te. she took one look at my beautiful garden and told your father that what she wanted more than anything in the world was
[witch]
greens, greens, and nothing but greens
parsley, peppers, cabbages, and celery
asparagus and watercress and
fiddleferns and lettuce
he said, “all right,”
but it wasn’t quite
’cause i caught him
in the autumn
in my garden one night
he was robbing me
raping me
rooting through my rutabaga
raiding my arugula and
ripping up the rampion
my champion
my favorite
i should have laid a spell on him
right there
could have turned into stone
or a dog or a chair
or a sn–
but i let him have the rampion
i’d lots to spare
in return, however
i said “fair is fair
you can let me have the baby
that your wife will bear
and we’ll call it square.”
[baker, spoken]
i had a brother?
[witch, spoken]
no, but you had a sister
[narrator, spoken}
however, the witch refused to tell him any more of his sister, not even that her name was rapunzel. she went on
[witch, spoken]
i thought i had been more than reasonable, and that we all might live happily ever after. but how was i to know what your father had also hidden in his pocket? you see, when i had inherited that garden, my mother had warned me i would be punished if i ever were to lose any of the
[witch]
beans
[baker and baker’s wife]
beans?
[witch]
the special beans
i let him go
i didn’t know
he’d stolen my beans
i was watching him crawl
back over the wall
and then bang! crash!
and the lightning flash!
and well, that’s another story
never mind
anyway, at last
the big day came
and i made my claim
“oh, don’t take away the baby!”
they shrieked and screeched
but i did and i hid her
where she’ll never be reached
and your father cried
and your mother died
when for extra measure
i admit it was a pleasure
i said, “sorry
i’m still not mollified.”
and i laid a little spell on them
you too, son
that your family tree
would always be
a barren one
so there’s no more fuss
and there’s no more scenes
and my garden thrives
you should see my nectarines
but i’m telling you the same
i tell kings and queens
don’t ever never ever
mess around with my greens
especially the beans
[jack’s mother, spoken]
now, listen to me, jack. lead milky white to market and fetch the best price you can. take no less than five pounds. are you listening to me?
[jack, spoken]
yes
[jack’s mother, spoken]
now how much are you to ask?
[jack, spoken]
no more than five pounds
[jack’s mother, spoken]
less than five!
[jack’s mother]
jack jack jack
head in a sack
the house is getting colder
this is not a time for dreaming
chimney stack
starting to crack
the mice are getting bolder
the floor’s gone slack
your mother’s getting older
your father’s not back
and you can’t just sit here dreaming pretty dreams
to wish and wait
from day to day
will never keep
the wolves away
so into the woods, the time is now
we have to live, i don’t care
into the woods to sell the cow
you must begin the journey
straight through the woods and don’t delay
we have to face
the marketplace
into the woods to journey’s end
[jack]
into the woods to sell a friend
[narrator, spoken}
meanwhile, the witch, for purposes of her own, explained how the baker might lift the spell
[witch]
you wish to have the curse reversed?
i’ll need a certain potion first
go to the wood and bring me back
one: the cow as white as milk
two: the cape as red as blood
three: the hair as yellow as corn
four: the slipper as pure as gold
bring me these before the chime
of midnight in three days’ time
and you shall have, i guarantee
a child as perfect as child can be
[stepmother, spoken]
ladies, our carriage waits
[cinderella]
now may i go to the festival?
[stepmother]
the festival?
darling, those nails!
darling, those clothes!
lentils are one thing, but
darling, with those
you’d make us the fools of the festival
and mortify the prince
[cinderella’s father, spoken]
the carriage is waiting
[stepmother, spoken]
we must be gone
[cinderella, spoken]
good night, father
[cinderella]
i wish
[baker, spoken]
look what i found in father’s hunting jacket
[baker’s wife, spoken]
six beans
[baker, spoken]
i wonder if they are the
[baker’s wife, spoken]
witch’s beans? we’ll take them with us
[baker, spoken]
no, you are not coming
[baker’s wife, spoken]
i know you are fearful of the woods at night
[baker]
the spell is on my house
only i can lift the spell
the spell is on my house
[baker’s wife]
no, no, the spell is on our house
we must lift the spell together
the spell is on our house
[baker, spoken]
no, you are not to come and that is final. now, what am i to return with?
[baker’s wife]
you don’t remember?
the cow as white as milk
the cape as red as blood
the hair as yellow as corn
the slipper as pure as gold
[baker]
the cow as white as milk
the cape as red as blood
the hair as yellow as corn
the slipper as pure as gold
[narrator, spoken}
and so the baker reluctantly set off to meet the enchantress’ demands. as for cinderella
[cinderella]
i still wish to go to the festival
but how am i ever to get to the festival?
[baker]
the cow as white as milk
the cape as red as blood
the hair as yellow as corn
[baker’s wife]
the slipper
[baker]
the slipper as pure as gold
[cinderella]
i know!
i’ll visit mother’s grave
the grave at the hazel tree
and tell her i just want to go
to the king’s festival
[baker]
the cow, the cape
the slipper as pure as gold
[baker’s wife]
the hair
[baker and cinderella]
into the woods, it’s time to go
it may be all in vain, you/i know
into the woods, but even so
i have to take the journey
[baker, baker’s wife, and cinderella]
into the woods, the path is straight
you know it well
but who can tell
[baker and baker’s wife]
into the woods to lift the spell
[cinderella]
into the woods to visit mother
[baker’s wife]
into the woods to fetch the things
[baker]
to make the potion
[cinderella]
to go to the festival
[baker, baker’s wife, cinderella, jack, and jack’s mother]
into the woods without regret
the choice is made, the task is set
into the woods, but not forget-
ting why i’m/you’re on the journey
int the woods to get my/our wish
i don’t care how
the time is now
[jack’s mother]
into the woods to sell the cow
[jack]
into the woods to get the money
[baker’s wife]
into the woods to lift the spell
[baker]
to make the potion
[cinderella]
to go to the festival
[little red riding hood]
into the woods to grandmother’s house
into the woods to grandmother’s house
[all]
the way is clear
the light is good
i have no fear
nor no one should
the woods are just trees
the trees are just wood
no need to be afraid there
[baker and cinderella]
there’s something in the glade there
[all]
into the woods without delay
but careful not to lose the way
into the woods, who knows what may
be lurking on the journey?
into the woods to get the thing
that makes it worth the journeying
into the woods
[stepmother, florinda, and lucinda]
to see the king
[jack and jack’s mother}
to sell the cow
[baker and baker’s wife]
to make the potion
[all]
to see
to sell
to get
to bring
to make
to lift
to go to the festival
into the woods
into the woods
into the woods
then out of the woods
and home before dark
