you do this to me? You have cut off my precious wings. Now how can I fly? This

will pay for this...! (Freezes on her knees)

tone) The king feared of this and sent his son, Edward to kill her.(comes
down) Alas! Edward and this sweet
fairy were bound with the knot of love but... but... human mind is always in

stage in fear. The guards are thrown on the floor; Raven stand behind the stage
watching)
Maleficent:
Ho, ho. What a beautiful royal
ceremony. Everybody is invited (looks at the king) but I think somebody has forgotten to invite
Maleficent. What an awful coincidence. (walks towards little princess)
Fairies: No, no Maleficent. We shall not allow
you to harm the little princess.
Maleficent : (waves her hand and fairies are
thrown away.) You puny creatures. You! To stop me? Hilarious! (comes to
the middle and wriggles her fingers)
I
came here to bestow the little queen with a gift of a fairy. (looks at the
king ferociously) I think you will
like it. Edward!
Edward: (shakes head; fearfully) No, please
don't do it.
(Maleficent steps towards
the baby. Everybody tries to stop her. She waves them off. Threatening music is
spread over the stage.)
Maleficent:
I wish; I wish indeed her to be
beautiful like a snow drop on a flower and to be wise like a jackal. You
beastess.
Fairies chatter: that is
not that bad for a wish; yes, that's true. (everyone nods in agreement)
(Threatening music
increases)
(Voice increases
gradually) I'm not finished. (to the king) How can I
forget what you have done to me? I wish this curse may last till the end of the
world. She will grow wisely and beautifully till the age of sixteen. (To
Edward)The birthday you met me.. my king; (comes to middle-arms widen) Then
she will fall into an eternal sleep with a sting of a needle of a weaving
machine unless... (Looks at the king)
Edward: Please don't do this. I beg you. Please
don't do this.
Maleficent: (sarcastically) Do it.
Edward: Do what?
Maleficent: Beg for her life; (stresses) on your
knees. (looks away) I might consider it. (Edward hesitates) (Shouts)
Do it! (everyone gasps)
Edward: ( slowly falls on his one knee)
I beg... I beg for her life. (looks down)
Maleficent:
(smiles -goes to the baby) Well,
unless she is received a true love kiss. (looks away) If there is
something like that, (comes to middle) if not she will live sleeping.
You'll get old seeing her like that. (threatening music) That is my
curse... that is my wish. Ha... ha... ha...
(everyone
starts chattering, queen faints, guards stand by the king)
(Edward comes toward her)
No, no, no. You have cheated me. (guards point spears towards her)

not be defeated to a wretched sorcerer. (comes to middle) I am great
king Edward. Listen friendly fairies; you'll be the guardians of my little
daughter. Take her away from the palace; to a remote place. Come back after
sixteen years(steps to a higher place) on her return, there won't be any
sewing machines in the kingdom to harm her. (comes down) Guards, make a
meeting, we have preparations to do. (guards take positions)

queen had had no work other than walking behind the little queen day and night.
So did me. Time flew fast now it is nearly sixteen years.
Maleficent: Ho! Three lunatics are playing again. Why
don't we have a bit of fun; what do you think Raven?
(Raven shrugs his
shoulders; Maleficent snaps her fingers)(Jovial music)
Fairy 1: (jumps up and stamps her feet) Hey!
Why did you pinch me on my back?
Fairy 2: (looks puzzled) Are you insane?
Why should I pinch your ....anything?
Fairy 1: (emphasizes) On... my back!
Fairy
2: whatever it is. (Maleficent
snaps again)(fairy who was arranging cards hops throwing cards into the sky)

again) Ouch! Why did you hit me on my back? (Pushes fairy1; she falls down)
(All three start quarreling
while Maleficent smiles; suddenly stops)
Maleficent: Raven, do you see there, the little beast is
coming. Let's take cover. (turn away)
(Enter Aurora from the
back of the stage. She is holding a bunch of flowers. She comes to stage
screaming happily)
Aurora:
I saw her! Guardian mothers I
think I saw her! (Fairies stop fighting and stare at her mouth wide open)
Fairies: Saw, Who? (others repeat
"Yes, who?")
Aurora: (like singing) My fairy
mother, (puts flowers into a vase) I sense her even now. I know she is
looking at me. I know she looks after me like you do. (comes to middle) Can you remember?
Once I was about to fall down from a cliff and... And can you remember a
wild boar tried to attack me? (fairies nod in agreement) Then it stopped and ran away; all these times
she was right beside me; I knew it. I know she loves me. (she hugs herself -
goes back of the stage and pretends removing her coat and combing)
Fairy
1: Aurora, we have always told
you; there is a wicked wizard out there. (others nod) Do not go out
without our permission.
Fairy 2: (fairies huddle and whisper
together) Should we tell about the curse?
Fairy 3: She will be sixteen next week. We
should be patient.
Fairy 1: That must be Maleficent. I think she
is out there. (she looks around) I don't know I feel like that.
Aurora: (tip toes to fairies) What are
you whispering? Are you planning a surprise for me?
Fairy 2: Indeed we do, now go and have your
supper.
Aurora: Ok, Ok. ta.. ra.. ra.( walks off
to the left- fairies go after her)
(Maleficent comes out of
the cover- both walk to the middle)
Maleficent: Raven did you hear what she said? The beast
says that I'm her fairy mother; she must have hit her head on somewhere. (Raven
smiles) What? Why are you laughing like that?
Raven: I think you are a better mother than
those lunatics. All these years you protected her better than any mother.
(Aurora enters the stage
and sees them and come running) Fairy mother, is that
you?
Maleficent: (walk to the right and turn back) I'm
not what you think.
Aurora: I know you. I always see you in my
dreams. When I am in sleep; I can smell your breath. I know this is you.
Maleficent: If you see me, you will be afraid.
Aurora: (playfully) No, I'm not.
Maleficent: No, you will be.
Aurora: No, I'm pretty sure. (step
forward)
Maleficent: Ok, (comes out) here I am, Are you
not really afraid?
Aurora: (looks at her for sometime)No,
You seem to be so kind and benevolent.
Maleficent: What? (Raven smiles) Raven, I don't
think you want to be a crow again.
Aurora: Oh! is this handsome boy Raven?
Raven: Yes, I am. (Shows courtesy Aurora
accepts it)
Aurora: (points forward) Fairy mother,
what lies beyond that wall of thorn?
Maleficent: It is my kingdom.
Aurora: I always wonder what lies there.
Maleficent: Do you want to see?
Aurora: (exited) Will you really take
me. (jumps up) Oh! Thank you, thank you dear fairy mother. I would
rather die. (comes closer and grabs her hand)
Maleficent: (slowly pushes it down) Ok, don't
jump so much. You may fall down.
Raven: (shows her path) after you
lady.
(Scene changes)
(Aurora runs childishly
about. She climbs upon the objects and explores happily. Maleficent start singing)
Maleficent: I don't know what to say... you are not what I thought (aside)
I feel guilty of me sometimes.
Aurora: What'd
you thought of me... tell me my dear mother (Maleficent gasps
"mother!")
Maleficent: What does the wind, what do the birds tell
you?
Aurora: they say, that I'm a cloud and I'm a
bird (comes and grabs her) and I'm a part of you... dear mother and this
world.
Maleficent: Oh! What have I done to you! (cries)
You should go back. Now! Raven escort her.
(Raven escorts her and
turns. Fairies prepares Aurora to go to the castle)
Raven: Now she is sixteen years of age. She
has to go to the castle. I'm afraid something has changed my fairy queen. She
must be worrying about what she had done. (Sounds of thunder enter
Maleficent and sits in a mood of despair. On the right of the stage walks Aurora
in sleep. Threatening music increases) Destiny is about to unveil. She is
going to touch the needle of her fate. Nothing in the world can change it. (Aurora
pretends to touch something and falls down. Maleficent gets up and start
sobbing) The curse is sealed. This cannot be undone... ah! The true kiss of
love.
(Enters King Edwar, queen
and Guards from the left)
Queen: Oh! my lord, All
those wretched sixteen years, sixteen years... I have been waiting for my dear
child.. all for this? Is this what you have promised me? (faints; fairies
hold her and take her off the stage)
King Edward: So, you have won! Maleficent! I have done the
mistake of sparing you once. This time, that would not happen. Guards Lets go.
We have a hunting to do! (Enters fairies) Fairies! Look after her.
Fairy1: All our hard work paid nothing.
Fairy 2: I could eat that horrid Maleficent.
Fairy 3: What should we do? Ah! The true love
kiss. That might work.
Fairy 1: How can we do that?
Fairy
2: can you remember, once the prince
of Shire passes through. He promised to come back for Aurora.
Fairy 1: Yes, we should find him.
Fairy 3: How dare you to come back! (All
look at the right of the stage. Enters Maleficent with Raven)
(Fairies try to attack
her. Maleficent lazily waves them off)
Maleficent: I'm sorry my dear beastess for what I have
done. Revenge! it never healed me. It added salt to my wound. Now, (sobs)
I lost you. I knew that there is nothing in this world like true love kiss.
(She gets up) I
claim; this curse should be broken. I will take back my curse!
Raven: It will remain till the end of the
world my dear queen. It won't work!
Maleficent: Oh! What have I done? I'm sorry for million
times. I know I cannot heal you but I will be beside you till my heart beats
its pulses. I will protect you forever my dear daughter. (Kisses on her for
head) I will not leave you.
Aurora: I will not leave you too my dear
fairy mother!
Raven: True love kiss! That is it.
Maleficent: I'm sorry my dear Daughter for what I have
done to you, I cursed you.
Aurora: No, mother you saved me.
Fairies: Yes, indeed.
Maleficent: Now, she is saved. What should we do Raven?
We should go back to our wood.
Aurora: If you think you can leave me
behind. You are dreaming.
Maleficent: Aurora! My daughter.
Aurora: My fairy mother! (They hug each
other)
