(Scene: A forest scene with a highway near)

(Characters onstage: Narrator and Prince Charming)

Narrator: In the forest, the highway man is lurking... waiting for his next victim! I BETTER GET OUT OF HERE!

The Highway Man: Oi! COME HERE YOU!

Narrator: I BETTER RUN!

(Exit Narrator)

The Highway Man: I'LL GET YOU!

(Enter Prince Charming - with an ENVELOPE in his hand)

Prince Charming: Was that the narrator?

Audience: Yes!

Prince Charming: It's impossible to get good help nowadays!

The Highway Man: I hear you! NOW EMPTY YOUR POCKETS!

Prince Charming: I don't have pockets

The Highway Man: Well! GIVE ME WHAT'S IN YOUR HAND THEN!

Prince Charming: How did you know?!

The Highway man: (Takes the Envelope) Know what?

(Prince Charming points to the name on the envelope)

(The Highway Man reads it out)

The Highway Man: Dear Mr Highway Man, ever since I have met you, I haven't be able to stop thinking about you, ever since we met in this very forest. I don't know if it's a true friendship or something more but I know I wish for you to join me at the ball.

Prince Charming: So... will you?

The Highway Man: Of course!

Prince Charming: THANK YOU! THANK YOU MR. HIGHWAY MAN!

(Exit Prince Charming)

The Highway Man: HE'D BE HAPPY! I mean... I'D BE HAPPY! yes! I'll be happy! WITH ALL THOSE PURSES! and in his arms! NO! WHAT HAS HE DONE TO ME!

(Music starts playing - song - "what has he done to me?!")
