5TH FORM

SCENE 1

IN PROCENIUM

NARRATOR 1: In Fairy tales, witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks and they ride on
broomsticks. But this is no a Fairy Tale. This is about real witches.

NARRATOR 2: Now, listen very carefully . Real witches dress in ordinary clothes and look like
ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and work in ordinary jobs.

NARRATOR 3: That´s why, they are so hard to catch. And don´t forget the most important of all...a
real witch hates children.

SCENE 2.

AT LUCY´S HOME

LUCY 1: This is Halloween, pumpkins scream in the dead of night.

GIRL 1 : Trick or treat until the neighbours die of fright.

GIRL 2: Life is no fun without a good scare.

GIRL 3: Ghosts, zombies, werewolves, banshees, witches. Everybody screams in our town in
Halloween.

SONG?

GRANDMA 1: What are up to girls?

LUCY : We´re celebrating Halloween.

GIRLS 4: And having a super time. Do you like my custome? Witches rock!

GRANDMA 1: You wouldn´t say that if you knew what witches are really like.

LUCY : Come on! Tell us about it!

GIRL 5: How do you recognize a witch when you see one?

GRANDMA 1: A real witch is always certain to be wearing gloves when you meet her.

GIRL 6: Well, not always. What about Summer when it´s hot?

GRANDMA 1: Even in Summer. Do you know why?

ALL GIRLS: Why?

GRANDMA 1: Because she doesn´t have finger nails. Instead, she has thin curvy claws, like a cat.
They only take them off when they go to bed.

GIRL 1: You said that because you want to scare us.

GIRL 2: Sh sh! Let´s listen!

LUCY : How do you know all that grandma?

GRANDMA 1: Don´t interrupt! The second thing to remember is that a real witch is always bald.

GIRL 3: Why are they bald?

GRANDMA 1: Don´t ask me why...but you can take it from me that not a single hair grows on a witch
´s head.

GIRL 4: How nasty! Disgunting!

GIRL 5: But if she is bald, she´ll be easy to spot.

GRANDMA 1: Not at all! A real witch always wears a wig to hide her baldness.

GIRL 6: My grandma has a wig. I´ve seen it! What if she is a witch!

GRANDMA 1: Don´t be silly child! I know you granny! Listen! These wigs do cause a serious
problem for them.

LUCY: What problem?

GRANDMA 1: They make the scalp itch most terribly. It causes nasty sores on the head. Wig-rash,
they call it.

LUCY: What other things must we look for to recognize a witch?

GRANDMA 1: Look for the nose holes. They have larger nose holes than ordinary people.

GIRL 4: Why do they have such big nose holes?

GRANDMA 1: For smelling. A real witch has the most amazing powers of smell. She can smell out a
child who is standing on the other side of the street, like this!

GIRL 1: She couldn´t smell me, I have just had a bath.

GRANDMA 2: Oh yes, she could! The cleaner you happen to be, the more smelly you are to a witch.

GIRL 2: That can´t be true!

GRANDMA 2: An absolutely clean child gives off the most ghastly stench to a witch. The dirtier you
are, the less you smell.

GIRL 3: I shall never have a bath again!

GIRL 4: What would I be smelling of for her?

GRANDMA 2: Dogs´dropping!

GIRL 5: I ´m not smelling of dogs´dropping!

LUCY: Tell us what else to look for in a witch!

GRANDMA 2: The eyes! Look in the middle of each eye where there is normally a little black spot. It
will keep changing colours.

GIRL 1: Are there other things?

GRANDMA 2: Of course, they look like women, they talk like women, but in fact, they are totally
animals. Animal in human shape.

GIRL 2: What else is different about them?

GRANDMA 2: The feet. They don´t have toes. The feet have square ends with no toes on them at all.

GIRL 3: Does that make it difficult to walk?

GRANDMA 2 : No, but it does give them a problem with their shoes. They have the most awful job
squeezing their feet into ladies´s little pointed shoes.

GIRL 4: Are those the only differences?

GRANDMA 2: There is one more. Their spit is blue.

GIRL 5: You don´t mean that! Nobody can have blue spit.

GRANDMA 2: Witches can.

GIRL 6: Is it like ink?

GRANDMA 2: Exactly, they even use it to write with.

THE CLOCK STRUCK MIDNIGHT AND THE GIRL GOT SCARED.

GRANDMA 2: Time to go to bed!

SCENE 3

LUCY´S HOUSE

GRANDMA : What´s going on sweatheart?

LUCY: I can´t sleep. I was thinking about what you told us before. I want to know more. Are witches
different in every country?

GRANDMA: Completely different. There is a secret society of witches in every country.

LUCY: And do they all know one another?

GRANDMA: They do not, a witch only knows the witches in her own country. Once a year, the
witches of each country hold their own secret meeting in one place with the Grand High Witch of all
the world.

LUCY: From who? How do you know so much?

GRANDMA: She is the ruler of them all. And she is all powerful. All other witches are petrified of her.
She travels from country to country attending these annual meetings.

LUCY: Where does she live when she is at home?

GRANDMA: Nobody knows. If we knew that, we would have destroyed her a long time ago.
Witchophiles all over the world have spent their lives trying to discover her secret headquarters.

LUCY: What is a witchophile?

GRANDMA: A person who studies witches and knows a lot about them.

LUCY: Are you a witchophile? I really want to know.

GRANDMA: I am a retired witchophile. When I was younger I traveled all over the world trying to
track her down.

LUCY: I didn´t know that. Is she rich?

GRANDMA: She is simply rolling with money. And I think this girl should go to bed. It´s really late.
