Сценарий школьного театра на на английском языке (10 класс) Рождественская история (Ч.Диккенс)

SCENE 1
1. (Christmas carol’s sounding)
EBONY
(Enters. Finds CAROLERS singing)
What's with all this singing? Who authorized this?
 
 EBONY
Roberta!
 
CRATCHET
Yes, Ms. Scrooge. 
EBONY
Did you tell these people they could make all this noise in here?
 
CRATCHET
Do you dislike it ma'am?
 
EBONY
Of course I do! Get out of here, filthy beggars!
Bring me some tea. 
 
CRATCHET
Yes, Ms. Scrooge.  (Pauses for more instructions)
 
EBONY
Make it quick.
 
CATCHET
(Rushes off)
Yes, Ms. Scrooge. 
EBONY
Now where were we? Restaurant receipts, bills... credit? 
(A lady rushes in)
 
SADIE
Hello, Ms. Scrooge.
 
EBONY
I know who you are. Every holiday you come around begging for money.
 
SADIE
(Laughs)
Always the comedian.Have you made your yearly donation to the Sisters of Suffering Charity?
 
EBONY
I will pay this year as much as I pay every year.
 
SADIE
Which is?
 
EBONY
Absolutely nothing. 
SADIE
But it helps the poor, the needy, the sick, the suffering.
 
EBONY
I seem to be the only one who is suffering in this room.
 
SADIE
You have the most successful restaurant in town. You surely could spare something.
 
EBONY
How about a tip?
 
KATIE
Okay.
 
EBONY
Stop feeding the poor, the hungry, the sick, and the suffering. It makes them live just a little bit longer and makes them suffer just a little bit more. Do them and me a favor and stop helping them. There's too many people in this world as it is. Let them die and decrease the surplus population.
 
SADIE
I should go, Ms. Scrooge.
 Here's some literature in case you change your mind.(Hands EBONY some flyers)
Merry Christmas.(CRATCHET enters from behind with tea and cake)
 
EBONY
Christmas. Bah humbug. 
(Not seeing CRATCHET. She yells)
Cratchet! Where's my...
(Realizes CRATCHET is there)
...set it down here.
 
CRATCHET
Will there be anything else this evening?
 
EBONY
What do you mean? 
 
CRATCHET
Ms. Scrooge. It's Christmas Eve. Tonight could I get home before my children go to sleep?
 
EBONY
I'm a reasonable woman. Take the rest of the night off... without pay.
 
CRATCHET
Oh, thank you, Ms. Scrooge. Thank you.
(So happy CRATCHET reaches for EBONY)
 
EBONY
Don't you dare hug me. 
CRATCHET
Sorry, Ms. Scrooge. (leaving) 
 
EBONY
Tomorrow you will be here at your usual time or you can look for another job.

(Exits)
 
SCENE 2
EBONY
Bah humbug.(Takes the cup)
2. (the sound of chains - MARLA)
What was that?
Cratchet? Are you still here?
Oh, my goodness. 
 I swear I'm hearing...
(The ghost of MARLA appears L)
Holy Jesus!
 
SCENE 3
MARLA
Ebony Scrooge!
 
EBONY
Who are you?
 
MARLA
I'm your old partner Marla. You've been a naughty girl, EBONY.
 
EBONY
(Scared)
Go away.  I need some medicine. Some plop, plop, fizz, fizz, and you'll be gone.
 
MARLA
I have come to warn you. Warn you of a fate worse than death. You will share my fate unless you change.
 
EBONY
Your fate? What are you talking about?
 
MARLA
I have paid heavily for my sins. (chains)
 This is my punishment for cheating people.
(Shows EBONY)
 
EBONY
Those were good times.
 
MARLA
Good times! Good times!
(Shakes tableware in agony)
 
EBONY
Calm down. Take it easy.
 
MARLA
Your punishment will be far worse than mine, EBONY Scrooge, unless you change.
(Chains)
Tonight you will be visited by two Spirits.
 
At the stroke of midnight, the first will appear. Then the other will appear at each hour after.
 
EBONY
So, ha, ha. You got me. Jokes over. Now get out!
 
MARLA
Please, EBONY. This is your last chance.  (Exits)
SCENE 4
 
EBONY
The only warning I need is on the tea label.  (Grabs papers and yawns)
3. (The bell’s sticking 12)
Asleep again?  (Looks at watch)
Christmas day already. Maybe I'll call Cratchet to come in early. I'm way behind.

EBONY
(Turns away)
Please, spirit. No more. Take me home.
(Lights go to black)

Perhaps you've seen enough.
 
EBONY
Take me home.
Home!  Now, go spirit. You have tormented me enough tonight.

10. spiritsEBONY
Who are you?
PRESENT
I am the spirit of the present.
EBONY
Are you going to show me my past again? Or present, whatever…. Ok, take my hand, I’m ready.
PRESENT
I’m not going to show you your past. I’ll show you the little children who are dying because of you and people like you! Who are alone and miserable in the world. They have no food, no home, no parents, no medicine if they are sick – nothing and nobody…
EBONY
I’ve never offended little kids! It’s not me to blame… I have no idea what you are talking about!
PRESENT
It’s happening day by day because of you! The only source of living for them is charity…
EBONY
So what?
PRESENT
You – ugly, pathetic fool! You are spoiling everything you touch! Remember what you have said: “Let them die and decrease the surplus population”! You, EBONY Scrooge, are the only to blame! Look, what you have done!

Spirit? Are you still here?
(Silence)
Bah humbug.

Oh, no.
(Wind. Feels a chill. The lights slowly turn to red)
Hello? Someone here.(The ghost of Christmas FUTURE appears. FUTURE is completely covered in a cloak. More chilling wind)
Who are you?
(No answer)
Are you the ghost of Christmas future?
(FUTURE nods)
You frighten me spirit. I don't not wish to see what you want to show me.(FUTURE points)
No, please...
(Lights fade)
Where are you taking me?
(The grave)
Where are the little girl and the boy? Are they dead?
Please spirit, tell me it can be changed. 
That little girl and the boy don't deserve to die.
(FUTURE points)
Don't show me the grave, spirit. I get the point. You don't need to show me this.
(FUTURE points)
I don't want to spirit. Please take me home. I've seen enough.

(EBONY goes to grave and pulls away growth)
(Wipes at name)
The name! EBONY Scrooge! It's me... it's my name! Will I die here? What happened to my tomb? Why do I just have this obscure little gravestone? Did people hate me so bad they even left me in death?
(Falls down by grave. FUTURE walks away as she is crying)
Please, spirit. Tell me this can be changed. Tell me I can change all this.
(Lights fade to black)

Dead serious.(Pulls out money)
