The Christmas
Miracle
The script excerpt
Scene One - Sandy’s bedroom & the orphanage
garden
(Sandy is sitting on
his bed talking to
Snowflake.)
NARRATOR 1: An
unusually bright star had sparkled in the frosty sky above King
Street for the past few days. The starlight shone brightly
down on two large homes in particular. The first was a large
ramshackled house that had seen better days: the shutters against
the cold were broken and the roof was a patchwork of old broken
tiles.
NARRATOR 2:
The second was an altogether different building: a grand mansion,
with a sweeping driveway, high walls and manicured gardens. In
this house lived a young boy named Sandy O’Neil. He lived with
his father, a butler and a cook, but his only real friends were a
kindly elderly gardener and Snowflake his labrador
dog.
(There is a harsh knock at the door and Mr.
O’Neil enters the
room.)
MR. O’NEIL: Dogs
belong in kennels Sandy, not boys’
bedrooms.
(Sandy hugs Snowflakes neck
protectively.)
MR. O’NEIL: Anyway, I’ve got to
go away on business tomorrow: loans to make and bad loans to
retrieve for the
bank.
SANDY: (Looking sad and
pleading:)
But it’s Christmas in four days time dad, can’t you stay
just this once! We could decorate the house with a Christmas
tree and put up lights and
decorations.....
MR. O’NEIL:
(Holds up hand to stop Sandy talking.)
Hold on! Sandy you’re ten
years old. You’re not a little boy: you know Santa doesn’t
exist. If I tell Mr Shine and Mrs Ovens to put up decorations
what’s the point? They only have to be removed a few weeks
later. You want them to have more work besides looking after
you?
SANDY: (He hangs his
head unhappily.)
I was only
thinking....
MR. O’NEIL: No Sandy, you
weren’t thinking, just being childish. And don’t mope around
looking for old pictures of mum. She died and we’ve got to
move on. Moping won’t get your homework done either. (He
nods towards open school books on desk.)
I’ll say ‘goodbye’ before
I
go.
(MR. O’NEIL exits and door closes. SANDY
sits silently for a moment and wipes away
tears.)
SANDY: (Smiling sadly to
Snowflake.)
No one’s putting you in a kennel. I tell you every Christmas,
but this year I really believe it’s going to be
different!
(Sound of childrens’ voices from outside the
window. MRS. MACINTOSH and the orphans enter the garden next
door. SANDY and SNOWFLAKE look out the window to see MRS. MACINTOSH
and the orphans looking and pointing at the
stars.)
MRS. MACINTOSH:
(Strong Scottish accent.)
And those stars are the Plough, that’s the
Great
Bear......
HUGUES: You mean the Great
Teddy Bear! (All laugh.)
MRS. MACINTOSH: Well I see
you’re thinking of bed and it’s getting late. Come on, you
lot, back to the
house!
(MRS. MACINTOSH beckons for the children to
return to the house. Orphans grumble and follow. Peter
carries a tired Stan. Sandy and Snowflake look at each
other.)
SANDY: I told you things are going to
change. You just wait and see. (Snowflake ‘Woofs’ in
reply and they fall asleep.)
