Matilda: Once upon a time... Once upon a time [GO] the two greatest circus performers in the world -an escapologist, who could escape from any lock that was ever invented,

and an acrobat who was so skilled it seemed as if she could actually fly - fell in love and got married.

They performed some of the most incredible stunts together that anyone has ever seen,

and people would come from miles around, Kings, Queens, Celebrities and Astronauts. And not just to see their skill,

but also to see their love for each other, which was so deep that it was said that cats would purr as they passed them, and that dogs would weep with joy.

In the evenings they would walk and take the air, and the children of the town would wait in anticipation,

hoping for a glimpse of the shiny white scarf that the acrobat always wore, for they knew they only had to cry ‘tricks, tricks’and the great performers would instantly oblige.

‘We have everything that the world has to offer’ said the wife ‘but we do not have the one thing in the world we want most.

‘Patience, my love’, the husband replied, ‘time is on our side. Even time loves us’.

Escapologist

Mrs Phelps: Oh Matilda!

Matilda: But time is the one thing no-one is master of. And as time passed they grew quite old and still they had no child.

At night they listened to the silence of their big empty house and they would imagine how beautiful it would be

if it was filled with the sounds of a child playing.Mrs Phelps: Matilda, this is very sad.Matilda: Do you want me to stop?Mrs Phelps: Don't you dare!

Their sadness overwhelmed them and drew them on to ever more dangerous feats,as their work became the only place they could escape the inescapable tragedy of their lives.

‘It is called’ said the husband, announcing the event to the world’s press who had gathered to listen with bated breath,

'The Burning Woman Hurling Through The Air With Dynamite In Her Hair Over Sharks And Spiky ObjectsCaught By The Man Locked In The Safe. AND... it is the most dangerous feat ever known to man.'

Matilda: And so the great day arrived.It was like the entire world had gathered to see

The Burning Woman Hurling Through The Air With Dynamite In Her Hair Over Sharks And Spiky Objects,

Caught By The Man Locked In The Safe. Everything was arranged by the acrobat’s sister -

a frightening woman who used to be an Olympic-class hammer thrower, and who loved nothing better than

to scare the children of the town.

People whispered that she resented her sister both her success and her love,

though always quietly, fearful of her anger.

Suddenly out came the escapologist, dressed as usual in his tights and his spangly costume,

Matilda: Slowly, very slowly, the acrobat wound her shiny white scarf around her husband's neck.

‘For luck, my love’ she said, kissing him with the gentlest of kisses. ‘Smile - we have done this a thousand times.’

But suddenly she hugged him with the biggest hug in the world, so hard that he felt that she would hug all of the air out of him.

And so they prepared themselves for the most dangerous feat that had ever been performed.

The great escapologist had to escape from the safe, lean out, catch his wife with one hand, grab a fire extinguisher

and put out the flames on her specially designed dress within twelve seconds,before they reached the dynamite and blew his wife’s head off.

(Mrs Phelps screams) Mrs Phelps: Sorry. Go on.Matilda: The trick started well. The moment the specially designed dress was set alight the acrobat swung into the air.

The crowd held their breath as she hurled over the sharks and spiky objects - one second, two seconds -

they watched as the flames crept up the dress - three seconds, four seconds - she began to reach out her arms towards the safe -

five seconds, six seconds - suddenly the padlocks pinged open and the huge chains fell away -

seven seconds, eight seconds - the door flung open and the escapologist reached out one

huge, muscled arm to catch his wife and the child - nine seconds, ten seconds...Mrs Phelps: Oh, I can't look! Matilda: eleven seconds – and he grabs her hand and, and,

and suddenly the flames are covered in foam before they can both be blown to pieces. Mrs Phelps: Hooray!

So the story does have a happy ending, after all!3

Matilda: No. Maybe it was the thought of their child. Maybe it was nerves. But the escapologist used just a touch too much foam

and suddenly their hands became slippy... and she fell. Mrs Phelps: No! Was... was she okay? Did... Did she survive?

She broke every bone in her body except the ones at the ends of her little fingers.She managed to live long enough to have their child.

The doctor said it was an absolute miracle she managed to hold on. But the effort was too great. 'Love our little girl', She said,

‘Love our daughter with all your heart. She is all we ever wanted.’ And then she died.

And then... things got worse. Mrs Phelps: What? Worse? Oh, no, Matilda, not worse, they can’t get worse!Matilda: I'm afraid they did.

Because so kind was the escapologist that he never blamed the acrobat’s sister for what had happened.

[BD]

And so she moved in to help look after his daughter. She was nothing but cruel to the little girl,

making her wash and iron and cook and clean, and beating her if she did a thing wrong.

But always in secret, so that the escapologist never suspected a thing.

And so the poor little girl grew up with the meanest, cruellest, horriblest aunt you could possibly imagine. Mrs Phelps:Let's call the police!

But the evil aunt - who, like all bullies, loved to see people smaller than herself miserable and unhappy -became worse and worse and worse.

The escapologist, who now worked as an accountant, knew nothing of the aunt’s wickedness. And his daughter never said a word, as she didn’t want to add to her father’s pain.

This only encouraged the aunt to greater cruelties, until one day, she exploded ‘You are a useless, filthy, nasty little… creep!’

And she beat her, threw her into a dank, dark, dusty cellar, locked the door and went out.

(The acrobat’s daughter is thrown into Matilda’s room, the door slammed behind her. Sits, cold and shivering. She cries.)

Matilda: What do you think it is?This thing with my eyes – am I strange?

Miss Honey: Not strange. You’re not strange, Matilda.You’re special. I’m not going to pretend I know what it is.But I think it’s something to do with that incredible mind of yours.

Matilda: You mean there’s no room in my head forall my brains so they have to push out through my eyes?

Miss Honey: That’s... not exactly what I meant,but something like it. Home, sweet [C.O.]
