Scene 1
Narrator: (Plays his instrument unmindfully, then suddenly stops) Oh! Hello ladies and
gentleman! I see you have gathered here on this wonderful day! How I enjoy the company of a
learned audience! What can I offer you today? Pardon my frivolity, I have become a little
forgetful these days.
(Thinks) Ah! Let me tell you a story then. A story of a noble king, living peacefully in his
kingdom. (Mutters to himself... Was that a king? Or queen? Anyway...) The story unfolds in a
dystopian land, may be somewhere around, may be in a land far far away. It may have happened
ages ago, or am I merely telling you a story of a distant future. The people moving around the
stage—you may find them familiar, or not. Who knows?
Oh! What I am supposed to say here? Or do I even have something to say? Does anyone of us
have something to say at all? Well, you can judge for yourself, if you can judge at all.

Scene 2
The City Gate. Two armed guards are dozing away. Parade music plays in the Background.
Guard 1: (Suddenly wakes up, startled. Looks around apprehensively. Then pokes his partner)
Captain! Wake up, wake up!
Guard 2: (Stops snoring) What??
Guard 1: Did you hear someone pass by the gate?
Guard 2: (Still dozing) Which way?
Guard 1: I guess he ran towards the village!
Guard 2: (Wakes up startled) Village ? Are you crazy? Nobody goes to that side! ‘Tis forbidden,
you fool!
Guard 1: But I heard!
Guard 2: That’s why you should not sleep during your duty hours! You fool! You were
dreaming!
Guard 1: Pardon me, Captain! I might be wrong!
Guard 2: Of course! Fool! Now go back to your position!
Guard 1: Aye aye Captain! (Guard 2 goes back to sleep)
Guard 1: Huh! Bloody old fool! He thinks he is smart? I will find this trespasser myself. Then
nobody can stop me from the Honor Medal! (To Captain, whispering) Sleep! You old fool!
Guard 2: (In his sleep) huh... what?

Guard 1: (scared) Hail Supremo!
Guard 2: Yes yes! Hail Supremo! (Dozes off)
Guard 1 starts searching the area. Dramatic music plays in the background. Suddenly sees a
nearby bush moving. He crawls up to the bush to find a young girl, hiding behind.
Guard 1: Hey! STOP! DON’T MOVE!
Girl: Please don’t kill me! I am lost!
Guard 1: Huh! Liar! I don’t believe you. You were trying to enter the forbidden village. Huh!
Got You!
Girl: NO NO! Believe me! I was looking for my sheep! She ran away!
Guard 1: You think I am a fool? Come out or I’ll shoot you at once!
(The girl tries to run but the guard catches her)
Guard 1: (Shouts) You can’t take away my Honor Medal!
Guard 2: (Wakes up disheveled) Who? Where? What is going on?
Guard 1: Sir! I caught the trespasser!
Guard 2: Are you still dreaming? Fool?
Guard 1: (Exhausted) Believe me Captain! Here she is. I caught her red-handed from that bush
over there. (Brings forward the girl)
Guard 2: (shocked) I see! Pray, my fair Madame, is it true? You were going to the Forbidden
Village?
