SCRIPT SAMPLES:

SCENE 3: ...

16TH CENTURY DOCTOR: Don't worry Prince Arthur, I've already got the leaches ready to bleed you. You'll be feeling fit as a fiddle in a moment.

(Exit Arthur and 16th Century Doctor.)

NARRATOR 2: And, that was that. In 1502, at the age of fifteen, Arthur died and the short marriage was over.

...

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: My Lord, your army won a great victory over the Scottish at Flodden Field.

HENRY VIII: That's wonderful news, Catherine!

NARRATOR 1: Two years later, there was more good news for Big Hal.

(Stage-hand bows and presents a doll to Catherine of Aragon. Catherine of Aragon happily shows child to Henry VIII.)

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: And, this is our daughter Mary. Doesn't she have a cute smile?

NARRATOR 2: Unfortunately, Big Hal believed that a male heir was essential to prevent rival claims to the throne leading to another civil war and consolidate the Tudor Dynasty.

HENRY VIII: A daughter? I need a son! What's the matter with you woman? She can't play football and she can't be a strong king.

(Enter ANNE BOLEYN.)

HENRY VIII: I've made a decision: I need a younger wife who can give me a son. Like her! (Points to Anne Boleyn.) What's your name?

ANNE BOLEYN: Anne Boleyn, Your Majesty.

HENRY VIII: You'll do. Wolsey, I need the pope to allow me to have a divorce so I can marry again and have lots of sons.

(Enter THOMAS WOLSEY bowing deeply.)

THOMAS WOLSEY: But, I'm in the middle of building myself a really huge palace called Hampton Court.

HENRY VIII: Too bad.

THOMAS WOLSEY: Okay, I'll ask.

(Thomas Wolsey exits and re-enters.)

THOMAS WOLSEY: He said, “Forget it, Henry boy, you're stuck with her.”

HENRY VIII: She'll never agree to a divorce and she's too important to behead. There must be another way...

...

NARRATOR 2: Henry VIII died aged fifty-five on 28^th January, 1547 in the Palace of Whitehall.

NARRATOR 1: He was one of England's most important kings, but he was wrong that girls can't bend a football like Beckham and his daughters were very strong rulers indeed. The End.
