Scene 1

(Солнечная поляна, лес, пение птиц, стоит Автор)

Author:

Years ago,

Far away from here.

On a dirty swamp,

Where no birds appeared,

There stood а large house,

There lived someone

(By the way: I can add,

There was no one in the area like this).

And the nearby village

Was just shaking of him.

They had thoughts about

Their lives he can dim.

So he lived, and he grew,

And became very tall,

His name was Shrek.

And he was… an ogre!!!

Yes! He was not like the others.

And he didn’t have sisters,

And he didn’t have brothers.

So he lived by himself

By himself making meals,

And he was not such a monster

As everyone said about him.

But one day, Lord Fraquad,

The worst of all genius,

Had sent to his habit

(смотрит на часы)

Well, my time’s going up,

I must leave you alone!

Go, go my donkey,

I am returning home.

Scene 2

(Выбегает Осёл, пока он поёт, на заднем плане происходит инсценировка всего, что он поёт)

Donkey: Hey man! Where are you going?! What home?! Whose home?! I’ve paid you 20 bucks and… what… What have I received?! OK, I’ll tell you about my dearest friend, mighty, powerful ogre – SHREK!!!

Hey, DJ! Start the beat!

(выходит человек в огромных спортивных штанах, в спортивной куртке, в чёрных очках и с огромными наушниками и начинает пританцовывать)

Donkey (надевает очки): Ok… Come on!

So that guy ’s just told you

About Shrek’s past life

When he was all alone

(Without a company of mine)

But one day the evil lord

Whose name was Farquad

Sent to his house

A fairy-tale crowd.

There were different creatures

Huge trolls and small dwarfs

And, of course, there was me –

The best donkey in the world that just can be.

And so Shrek went berserk

Then, departured to the lord.

But instead of freeing his swamp

He was told to risqué the princess in a tower by that lord

And he went with his friend

(Of course his friend was me)

And arrived to the castle

(With the dragon)

Darker just couldn’t be.

After hours of fight,

After genius tricks

We, at last, escaped

From our enemy

But when the princess realized

That her savior was an ogre,

She was so angry

Even Shrek had never been so.

Well, we went back to the castle,

And during the trip

Our Romeo fell in love with that princess – Fiona

(Yes, she was beautiful, you know what I mean).

And somehow I discovered:

The princess was half-ogre,

She must have a kiss

To be one she really was.

But that day Shrek thought

That she spoke so rudely about him

And he forgot his love,

And my friendship.

But I told him (of course

As a real friend should)

That the princess was half-ogre,

That she, too, might love him.

At last came the moment of marriage

Between Fiona and Farquad

He rushed into the church

And pushed the bride and groom apart

And he kissed her lips,

Then the magic begins.

After that magic performance

She became ogre on face as she was within.

So, happy marriage,

Beautiful honey moon,

The grinnest family

And a good friend (you know who)
