Scene Nine
the wedding
ENSEMBLE are standing around as wedding guests. PRINCE and SNOW WHITE are CS, ready to be married. DWARVES are generally mingling, as is SERVANT. EVIL QUEEN enters SL slowly.
NARR. 2: Because the evil queen, when asking her mirror the usual question, had been answered yet again with:
MIRROR: (from offstage) Snow White is the fairest, O queen.
NARR. 2: Which didn't please her one bit.
NARR. 1: In fact, it rather confused her.
NARR. 2: Having killed Snow White several times.
NARR. 1: And so she came to the wedding of Snow White and the Prince, to see if the rumours were true-
NARR. 2: The rumours that said the prince's bride was the fairest in the land.
NARR. 1: And so, just as the happy couple were about to be wed-
NARR. 2: She burst through the crowds in a fit of anger.
EVIL QUEEN bursts through the crowds in a fit of anger. Or whatever.
NARR. 1: The Prince ordered his guards to seize the queen:
PRINCE: Guards! Seize her!
GUARDS seize the EVIL QUEEN.
NARR. 2: And this is the best bit. He ordered the queen be forced to wear iron shoes, heated on hot coals.
GUARDS strap the shoes to the EVIL QUEEN's feet. She hops about, or whatever, burning, and eventually falls to the floor.
NARR. 1: So it finally was a happy ending.
NARR. 2: Not if you're the queen.
NARR. 1: Anyway.
SNOW WHITE and PRINCE embrace. NARRs 1&2 walk CS, so the couple are behind them.
NARRs 1&2: The End.
Exeunt omnes.

Author guidance for This story
This is a very flexible play to perform, because it can be done with a varying number of cast. All the characters, except the two narrators, can double up as other characters and even ensemble. There is a lot of physical theatre, however, and it was written for a cast of around 30. It should last around 20 minutes. This is the first in a series of three fairytale-based short plays.Characters:
Snow White
Evil Queen
Magic Mirror
Narrator 1
Narrator 2
King
Huntsman
Good Queen
Prince
Servant
Guards
Dwarves
Boar
