Scene 1 (At Home) : Hansel and Gretel
In my opinion, the most important thing in the play is how we can portray more than one
character who is different and has their own characteristics so that the audience does not
get confused during the presentation.
Narrator: One day, they got lost deep among the trees.
Hansel: Me too.
Gretel: Father will come and find us.
Narrator: Then, Hansel and Gretel saw a pretty cottage.
Narrator: Hansel and Gretel stepped inside the house. Then the old woman locked the door.
Witch: How dare you eat my cottage! Now, I will eat you, boy! And you, lazy girl, can get
to work!
Hansel and Gretel: (scared and starting to cry) No, we didn’t mean to.We’re sorry.
Witch: You are too skinny to eat now, but I will fatten you up. Little girl, get me some
gingerbread.
Narrator: Each day, the witch fed Hansel lots of sweets and gingerbread. And each day, she
felt Hansel’s finger to see if he was fat enough to eat, but he knew she couldn’t see well.
Witch: Show me your finger, boy!
Hansel: Oh no!
Narrator: The next morning, the witch decided to eat both children.
Witch: (craftily) Gretel, climb into the oven to see if it’s hot enough.
Narrator: Suddenly, Gretel had a great idea. As the witch bentright over, clever Gretel
pushed her inside the oven and slammed the door.
Witch: (screaming) It’s too hot! Let me out, little girl. LET ME OUT!!
Gretel: I pushed her into the oven and locked the door.
Hansel and Gretel: (shouting with joy and running towards the house) Father!Father! We are
home.
Father: Hansel! Gretel! Where have you been? I have been so worried.
Hansel: We got lost in the woods and the wicked witch tried to eat us.
Oh my! I am sorry I let you go into the forest. I missed you very much.
Father: Your
stepmother has gone. She can never hurt you again.
Narrator: Hansel, Gretel, and their father lived happily ever after.
