Music cue 2: Chorus. After song ends…

Enter Charlie Chuck [SL]

CHARLIE: Hiya boys and girls! I’m Charlie Chuck, and I’m the royal Chamberlain. And as we’re in Eggstonia, whenever I come on and shout, eggy-eggy-eggy! You can all reply, oi-oi-oi! Will you do that? Let’s have a practice then. [exits and re-enters] Eggy-eggy-eggy! That was excruciating! Let’s have another go. [repeats business] That was eggceptional!

CHORUS 1: When are the royal family arriving, Charlie?

CHORUS 2: We’ve come to watch them give the speech to the magic wall.

CHARLIE: They’ll be here shortly, and the King will recite the magic rhyme, to ensure that Humpty Dumpty stays locked inside the egg for another year.

CHORUS 3: And a good job too. We don’t want that bad egg causing a big stink again.

CHARLIE: Don’t worry, Humpty will be staying right where he is. Music cue 3:

PRINCESS: That was a wonderful greeting, wasn’t it, father?

KING: It was eggstraordinary, Shelly. [to Chorus] Greetings loyal objects! How are you all? [response] Eggscellent!

CHARLIE: Where’s Queen Omelette, your majesty?

KING: She’s got a bun in the oven.

CHARLIE: [shaking his hand] Congratulations sire! All Eggstonia will be thrilled!

KING: No, you fool! I meant the eating kind!

PRINCESS: It’s her baking day Charlie.

KING: Citizens of Eggstonia! Before I address the magic wall, I have an important announcement to announce!

CHARLIE: [coughs] Ahem!

KING: [gives Charlie a stare] As I was saying, I have an important…

CHARLIE: [coughs louder] Ahem!

KING: Will you be quiet, Charlie! As I was about to say…

CHARLIE: [coughs even louder] Ahem!

KING: [snaps] What is the matter with you today Charlie?

CHARLIE: I’m sorry sire, but it’s my job to do the royal announcements.

KING: Then get on with it man! If you can stop coughing long enough that is.

CHARLIE: [announcing] Her Royal highness Princess Shelly is to wed Prince Benedict of Albumen tomorrow, and the day will be a public holiday!

CHORUS: Hooray!

PRINCESS: That seemed to go down well, Charlie.

CHARLIE: Everybody loves a royal wedding, Princess.

KING: Now, what else was I supposed to be doing today?

PRINCESS: Making a speech to the Magic Wall, father?

KING: Ah, yes! [searching his pockets] Now, where is my speech?

CHARLIE: [handing him a scroll] Here it is, your majesty.

KING: Thank you. I’ll just put on my glasses. [searching pockets] They’re not here. Where are my glasses? I’ve lost my glasses!

PRINCESS: They’re on your head, father.

KING: [pulls them down] Silly me. I’ve made a spectacle of myself, haven’t I?

CHARLIE: [aside] As per usual.

KING: [reading] Citizens of Eggstonia! It gives me great pleasure to declare this village fete…

PRINCESS: Wrong speech, father!

KING: Oh! [turns page] We’re gathered here for the unveiling of…[Charlie and Shelly, shake heads] I name this ship…[Charlie and Shelly shake heads] Ah, here we are! As ruler of Eggstonia, it falls upon me to address the magic wall and recite the magic rhyme. [clears throat] Oh, great and mysterious magic wall…

Enter Queen Omelette [SR]

QUEEN: Stop! What do you think you’re doing, Eggbert?

KING: I’m about to address the magic wall, dear.

QUEEN: You can’t do that!

KING: Why can’t I?

QUEEN: Because we agreed to take it in turns, and you did it last year. Now move aside. [shoves him aside] Citizens of Eggstonia! I will now address the magic wall. Whose presence keeps us free from trouble and strife.

CHORUS: Here! Here!

KING: Do hurry up Omelette, Eggstonia’s Got Talent is on soon.

QUEEN: All right Eggbert, stop egging me on. [turns to wall] Oh, great and mysterious magic wall…

CHARLIE: [sniffs] I can smell something burning!

SFX: Smoke pours onstage.

QUEEN: My buns! Come and help me rescue them!

PRINCESS: But what about the speech to the magic wall, mother?

QUEEN: It will have to wait, Shelly! Hurry, before the palace catches on fire!

Exit Queen, King, Princess Shelly, and Charlie [SL]

CHORUS 3: Me too.

CHORUS 4: Let’s go everybody.

Exit Chorus [USR]

Enter Minnie Meringue [DSR] carrying a basket of mini eggs.

MINNIE: Hello boys and girls! I’m Minnie, Minnie Meringue, Minnie. Now, I like to make sure everybody’s happy, so whenever I come on I’ll shout, is everybody happy? And you all respond, eggstatic Minnie! Okay? Let’s have a practice then. [exits and re-enters] Is everybody happy? You don’t sound very happy. Let’s have another go. [repeats business] That’s better. I’ve just been to the Doctor’s for the umpteenth time this week. I said what’s wrong with me Doctor? And he replied, I think you’re suffering from hypochondria. I said, not that as well! Now, today is St Scramble’s Day, and on this day it’s customary to distribute chocolate eggs to the poor. I have a basketful here but you lot don’t look all that poor so you can’t have any. [laughs] Only joking, here you go. [distributes eggs]

Enter Man [SL] he makes his way towards [SR]

MINNIE: Hey, you!

MAN: [stops] Who, me?

MINNIE: Yes, you! Stop annoying me?

MAN: But I wasn’t even looking at you!

MINNIE: I know, and it’s really annoying.
