Ideally there is no gap from the previous scene. In that scene we had the witch centre stage surrounded by munckins she was going to harm. NOW we have a house on stage, a big bang, some squashed witch legs and some very surprised and relieved Munchkins and a very confused audience
After the audience settles, Dorothy appears at the window (she may come out the house later)
Dorothy: Hello…Where has Kansas gone and who are you weird looking people?
Munchkin1: We are Munchkins.
Dorothy: No not you lot, I was meaning this weird looking set of people over here (meaning the audience). Are you from Kansas?
Audience: No…
Dorothy: Well, where are you from?
(Audience reply)
Dorothy: Weston? Aston? Never heard of them…. I'm getting more sense from this lot over here. Hello Munchkins!
Munchkins: Hello, who are you?
Dorothy: Well, I'll tell you all my story…
Preferably filmed scene projected onto the side of the house, Sepia tone sat least starting in flickery old style.
Dorothy a girl with curls walks on in Pinafore clutching a dolly and looking sad, mother figure in background with back to audience. Barn with weather vane is visible
Dorothy: Yo ya all, my name is Dorothy, daughter of Goody Jarland, I am 13 years old and I have lived a TRAGIC life.
AUDIENCE: Aaahh
Dorothy: No y'all, all REAL TRAGIC life (posturing wildly)
AUDIENCE: AAAARHHH
Dorothy: When I was five,my daddy lost his hand in an agricultural accident and ran off with a Mr. Harley Davidson strikes pose with blood soaked hand; Tragedy number 1, When I was ten, my Momma was taken away by Jesus…
Dorothy: That was Tragedy number 2
farmhands enter looking supportive
Dorothy: Now I live with my Uncle and Aunt on their boring farm in Kansas.
(Jolly old couple stroll on with pitchforks and dungerees, then walk off to do something, American Gothic
Dorothy: Tragedy Number 3.
FARMHAND Bill: Why Dorothy, don't you cry, at least you've got Toto always by your side.
Dorothy: Why Bill, I just ain't seen Toto since I threw feed to the chickens and he ran off to play in the corn field.
FARMHAND #2: (runs on looking exhuasted) Dorothy, Bill - Missy Condaliza say she got bit by Toto and she wants to make him sleep!
FARMHAND Bill:Surely she can't mean "Put him to sleep?
FARMHAND#2: Why Bill, my syntax is all be-muddled! Maybe I just ain't cut out to be a simple farmboy after all. Maybe I need to follow my old Daddy into Politicology and run for President.
FARMHAND#2: There's that Evil Witch now cycling with Toto up that lane
Dorothy (walks off stage shouting): Toto, Toto, you give me back my dog you, Toto…
Weather Vane spins rapidly
Uncle Henry: Hey there bob ain't you getting cold with no sleeves on your shirt
Farmhand#3: I reserve the right to bare arms.
FARMHAND#2: People of America, we stand at a crossroads, the weather vane spins and change is upon us…
FARMHAND Bill: That's no normal wind, we better get in the storm shelter Georgie WubbleU, there's no time to spare - and don't forget the beans!
Uncle Henry: Come on folks, get inside! This is no normal tornado, this is what them English folks call a Dyson.
Hatch is closed
LOUD WIND NOISE
Footage of tiny house and cow etc in a dyson vacuum cleaner, to the theme of Wagner's 'Ride of the Valcryes'
Whall! That's some wind out here, lets pretend you're all blades of wheat swaying in the breeze dancers come on and play part the wheat.
Dorothy is seen clutching Toto as they crawl against the wind towards the shack - tumbleweed
DOROTHY: Toto, don't leave me Toto that mean old witch won't take you…
they make it into the shack the shack spins and noise gets louder, kids with leaves swirl around and lights flash then go out. AND then we flew through the air and we landed
noise identical to when the witch was squashed
DOROTHY// and then after the big bump I went to the window (appears again) and I thought
" Hello … where has Kansas gone and who are you weird looking people?"
Munchkin1: We are munchkins
Dorothy: Are you from Kansas?
Munchkin2: No we are from Munchkinland…Who is Kansas?
Dorothy: No not who but where?
Munchkin2: Ok where does Kansas live?
Dorothy: No Kansas is a place…It's a place where I live…Where I live with my Uncle and Aunt. Where are they? Where is our farm? Where is Toto? …. (starts to cry)
Toto: appears at the window and then somewhere else and we play "ITS BEHIND YOU" Dorothy is really quite upset…and tells the audience off for being cruel in pretending to see her dead dog
Dorothy: Oh there you are! Its not so bad.
Dorothy makes a fuss over Toto.
The Munchkins huddle together, and push one towards Dorothy
Munchkin 4; We would like to say thank you very much for killing the Wikid Witch of the East.
Dorothy: (Shocked!) I haven't killed anyone, I am not a bad person, I wouldn't do that.
Munckin 5: oh, I don't think you meant to land your house on top of her.
Dorothy looks around and sees the feet and shoes sticking out from under the houses.
Dorothy; (upset) Oh, I am so,so, sorry…
Munchkin3 Don't be, we aren't
Munchkin 2 She was horrible.
Munckin 1: She was nasty.
Munchkin 3: She was mean.
Munchkin4: She was scary.
Munchkin5: She was wick'd.
Munchkin 6: She was really misunderstood. (Other munchkins turn and look puzzeled at 6)
Munchkin1: But She was going to kill our aunties.
Muncjkin2: and our uncles.
Dorothy: Oh that would be horrible … fancy not having an uncle and an aunty —— boo hoo hoo
Other munchkins turn and see good witch of North Enter.
Good Witch of the North; I have just heard that the wwe had beem killed. Who did that?
Dorothy (In tears again) I am so sorry, it was me, but I didn't mean it, my house landed on her! I am so, so sorry…
GWN don't be, I'm not
Munchkin 2: she was horrible
Munckin 1: she was nasty
Munchkin 3: she was mean
Munchkin 4: she was scary
Munchkin5: she was wikid
Munchkin 6: she was really misunderstood.(Other munchkins turn and look puzzeled at 6)
GWN: No she was horrible. There are five lands here. The munchkins live in the land here in the east. The Gillikans live in the north, the quadlings in the south and the winkies in the west.
Munchkin2: Thats right!
GWN: And each of these lands is looked over by a witch. I am the good witch of the north and my sister is the good witch of the south. But there were two evil witches at the east and the west. (Don't forget the emerald city). You have killed the witch of the east so everyone is really happy as the wicked witch is dead.
Munchkin 2: The horrible witch is dead
Munckin 1: The nasty witch is dead
Munchkin 3: The mean witch is dead
Munchkin 4: The scary witch is dead
Munchkin5: the wikid witch is dead
Munchkin 6 the misund…………. (starts to slepp as interupted)
All Munckins: No The witch is dead, the witch is dead
Munckin5: The wikid witch is dead
Dind Dong the witch is dead ….dance and sing
(at some point Dorothy puts the shoes on, perhaps to dance with)
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!
Exit all exept Dorothy and GWN
Dorothy: So thats the end of story then. The witch is dead. You are the good witch and you can magic me back to Kansas.
GWN; Um, When I say good, I mean good as in good girl, or good dog, /my magic was never good, in fact my magic is really poor, which is why I had to get a bus here instaed of riding a broomstick.
Dorothy; (Disappointed), oh, I will never see Ant Em and Uncle Henry again…
GWN; I am sorry, but what I can do is protect you on your journey to the Emerald City. There yuo will find the Great Wizard who is the greatest in all of Oz. He will be able to send you home to Kansas.
Dorothy, Oh, Thank you
Gwn; to audience, I need your help to protect Dorothy. I am going to place a special kiss on her forehead which need to be filled with the Power of Good. Can you think good thoughts while I do it. (Tries to do it), no, theres not enough power there, you must think harder, and you in the corner there, that was not a good thought. (tries again) still not enough power, I think thinking is not enough, you need to say them. Can you say "Good thoughts are happy thoughts"… lets practice….. right that's goo, well do it for real….. puts kiss rather dramatically, with something like a lot of red lipstick, or a bindi sticker on Dorothy's forehead.
GWN;This kiss is now you are protected and may go on your way.
(Yellow brick road)
