INT. THRONE ROOM - THE EMERALD CITY - DAY

A high domed room, empty. Green light on every surface, green glass buckled over every eye. DOROTHY (10) stands at the front, Toto at her heels. Behind her wait the SCARECROW, the TIN WOODMAN and the LION.

THE VOICE

I am Oz, the Great and Terrible. Why do you seek me?

DOROTHY

The Witch is melted. You promised.

The Lion roars to frighten the voice. Toto jumps away in alarm, straight into a folding screen in the corner.

It topples. Behind it stands a little old man, bald and wrinkled, as startled as they are.

The Tin Woodman raises his axe.

THE LITTLE OLD MAN

Don’t strike me. Please. I’ll do anything you want.

Scene plan Before a word is written, the scene’s purpose is agreed. By you.

Scene plan

The man behind the screen

Enters: They have done the impossible task. The Wizard keeps putting them off.
Moves: The voice tries to send them away again. A small dog will not keep still.
Pressure peaks: The screen falls, and the voice has nothing left to hide behind.
Leaves: The Great and Terrible is gone. Every promise now rests on a humbug.

Characters What the story knows about them, and what is still only a possibility.

The Wizard

Characters

Wants: To go on being believed.
Fears: Being seen for what he is: a balloonist from Omaha.
Contradiction: A very good man, he says. A very bad Wizard.

He is relieved when the screen falls.

A possibility

“What if he’s relieved? Years behind that screen, a dog knocks it over, and the first thing he feels isn’t fear. It’s rest. He’s been waiting for someone to find him.”
