Shakespeare play: Scene 1: The New king
King Edward and his son Caliban, travel through the county, on horses. Young Francisco is there seeing them whist collecting food for his family.
King Edward: Son, I know how dear it its to thou.
Caliban: Father, I really want the throne, King Caliban
King E : It suits you my dear son. Time flies away.
Caliban: How can one wait to claim the divine throne?
I am so sorry father, it is for the best.
This dagger, shalt bring me power, die Father!
(Stabs him through the heart.)
King E: What betrayal, my own son! What a father
I must have been, I weep rivers of blood.
Dear son in my last breath I tell you- (Collapses of his horse)
Francisco: O’ lord, am I dreaming somebody pinch
me, awake me from this villainous act.
I must go home, my family must know.
Francisco: Mother, Father hath thou heard of the King?
Lorenzo: What is this of the king?
Julia: Naught I know of.
Francisco: Slain by his own son! O, what sinful day.
Lorenzo: How did this come, art thee sure.
Julia: Francisco, (approaches him) Don’t be poisoned by rumours.
Francisco: I only speak of the truth. King Edgar murder’d!
I saw this before me, whence I went to farm.
(Uncle Ross enters, and eats)
Ross: O’ dear Julia. This dish is fit for the Gods.
Julia: Thank you dear brother.
Francisco: Uncle Ross, hath thou heard of the Kings death?
Thus been slaughtered by his son! Blood staining
The hands of divine Prince Caliban
I say divine, devil free in our realm.
Lorenzo: Enough with fairy tales. We shalt attend the town hall.
(Everybody leaves the house)
Doomsayer: Prince Caliban brings red skies, rivers of
blood, we all descend into this bed of death.
Francisco: This man gives warning, something doth approach.
Julia: Silence thy everlasting lips of darkness. (Sits down along with everybody else)
(Prince Caliban enters the stage)
Caliban: I speak here before you. My father
Was a great man. Killed before my eyes.
Lorenzo: Francisco, rumours deceive you, the mind
thinks the eyes doth not ponder. Mind is a
Illusion, an endless dream that dose not awake.
Francisco : My, father, mother nobody takes in the
words I speak of. That sight is engraved in
my mind, naught will erase it. Eternal stain.
Caliban: I warn thee Abhor me and thou shall find
thee amongst Satans dungeons or take the
path of the wise, peace a fair and strong land.
The choice lies with thou, but known of consequence.
Francisco: Lies upon me father? What’s this I hear?
Lorenzo: Dear child, the king must be tough to discipline.
Julia: Thus speaking of an assassination.
Caliban not responsible for Edward.
Doomsayer: I abhor thou! Treacherous, woeful lord!
(The crowd, startled gaze at him in silence)
Caliban: Thou! In the midst of oceans, reveal thou self.
Thou! In villainous robes, do not tempt me.
Fly hence, be gone, don’t urge me to fury.
Executioner, fetch thy dagger.
Doomsayer: I reveal my self, swift like a shadow
The shadow thou has cast over our country!
(Spits I’n his face)
Julia: Lorenzo, we must leave hence! Away from-
Caliban: This dagger before me, shalt be thy last.
(Stabs him)
Doomsayers: O, I fall into the hands of death.
What heavenly clouds I see. Am I dead?
I fade away from the world I once loved
Be rid of, Caliban! Burn to ashes. Farewell. (Falls and dies)
(Everybody cries and runs away)
Caliban: Doth not flee, God has decided his fate
(sits on the throne)
This dagger has tasted royal blood
peasant blood, how much more must it feed on
I warned everybody clearer than the
beautiful morning sky.
Lorenzo: We must flee these lands. Away from the king.
Julia: O’Fransisco we now see this creature.
Calibn has crawled out of the darkness
revealing beast under the innocent
king we all bowed to and loved
Fransisco: Flee? This mum must be rid of! I fear not
Julia: How canst thou imagine of such thing
Let Caliban wilt like a wild flower
the lonely flower amongst a desert.
Lorenzo:Son, seek peace, not death. Caliban draws death
the nearer thou gets the clearer thou sees
thy gravestone impaled into the Earth
Fransisco: I beseech you father, allow me to
bring this man down. Even if i have to
bring him beneath the Earth with me.
Julia: Beseech not, we shalt be leaving hence
Fransisco: I shall be the pillar of these lands
strong enough to withstand a mountain
(Runs out of the house)
Lorenzo: Get back into this house!
Julia: fetch him Lorenzo.(Runs out after him)
React!
