Scene I

Presenter: (Голос за сценой) It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again. They were all nine years old, and if there had been a day, seven years ago, when the sun came out for an hour and showed its face to the stunned world, they could not recall. And this was the way life was forever on the planet Venus, and this was the school room of the children of the rocket men and women who had come to a raining world to set up civilization and live out their lives.

Pupil 1: Ready?

Pupil 2: Ready.

Pupil 1: Now?

Pupil 2: Soon.

Pupil 3: Do the scientists really know? Will it happen today, will it?

Pupil 1: Look, look; see for yourself!

(дети прижались друг к другу и смотрят вверх)

Pupil7: Where's teacher?

Pupil 5: She'll be back.

Pupil 3: She'd better hurry, we'll miss it !

Pupil 4: It's stopping, it's stopping !

Pupil 5: Yes, yes !

Scene II

(На сцене расставлены парты, стулья. Входит учительница.)

Teacher: All day yesterday we had written in class about the sun. (читает сочинения) About how like a lemon it was, and how hot. And you had written small stories or essays or poems about it. Margot, have you written anything about the sun? I know, that you remember the sun. You had come here only five years ago from Earth, and you remember the sun and the way the sun is and the sky is when you were four in Ohio.

Margot: (читает свое стихотворение тихим голосом)

I think the sun is a flower,

That blooms for just one hour.

Pupil 6: Aw, you didn't write that! (протестующий тон)

Margot: I did, I did.

Teacher: William! (пауза) stop it! Now the rain is slackening.

William: What're you looking at? (девочка не ответила)Speak when you're spoken to. I'll give you a shove. (Mарго отодвинулась от Вильяма)

Pupil 1: We edged away from her, we would not look at her.

Pupil 2: And this was because she would play no games with us in the echoing tunnels of the underground city. If we tagged her and ran, she stood blinking after us and did not follow.

Teacher: Children, let's sing songs about happiness and life, the sun and the summer.

Pupil 3: And then, of course, the biggest crime of all was that you had come here only five years ago from Earth, and you remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she was four in Ohio.

Pupil 4: And we, we had been on Venus all our lives.

Pupil 5: Yes, and I had been only two years old when last the sun came out and had long since forgotten the color and heat of it and the way it really was.

Margot: It's like a penny.

All the children: No it's not!

Margot: It's like a fire, in the stove."

All the children: You're lying, you don't remember!

Margot: But I remember.

Pupil 6: I hate you because you always stand alone and you look as if you had been lost in the rain for years and the rain had washed out the blue from your eyes and the red from your mouth and the yellow from your hair.

Pupil 7: I hate you too because you look like an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if you speak at all your voice would be a ghost.

Pupil 6: Now you stand separate, staring at the rain and say rubbish. (Марго выбежала из класса, учительница пошла следом.Дети сплетничают о девочке)

Scene III

Pupil 1: And once, a month ago, she had refused to shower in the school shower rooms, had clutched her hands to her ears and over her head, screaming the water mustn't touch her head.

Pupil 2: she is different and we knew her difference and keep away.

Pupil 3: There was talk that her father and mother were taking her back to Earth next year; that they do so, though it would mean the loss of thousands of dollars to her family.

Pupil 4: And so, we hate her for all these reasons. I hate her pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness, and her possible future.

(Девочка зашла в класс)

Pupil 7: Get away ! (мальчик толкнул Марго)What're you waiting for? (Марго повернулась и посмотрела на него).

Pupil 8: Well, don't wait around here! You won't see nothing!

Margot: Nothing. (девочка заплакала)It was all a joke, wasn't it?

Pupil 8: (Повернувшись к другим детям) Nothing's happening today. Is it?(Дети все посмотрели на него, поняв, что он хочет этим сказать, закивали головами, засмеялись).

All pupils: Nothing, nothing!

Margot: Oh, but … (девочка зашептала) But this is the day, the scientists predict, they say, they know, the sun…

Pupil 8: All a joke ! Hey, everyone, let's put her in a closet before the teacher comes!(толкнул девочку)

Margot: No (Девочка падает, поднимается, дети бегают за ней по сцене, поднимают , уносят за кулисы. Возвращаются, улыбаясь и переговариваясь).

Scene IV

Входит учительница

Teacher: Ready, children? (смотрит на часы)

Children: Yes!

Teacher: Are we all here ?

Children: Yes! (Шум дождя прекратился, на экране вместо хмурого неба засияло солнце)

Pupil 1: The silence is so immense and unbelievable that I feel my ears.

Pupil 2: The sun came out.

Pupil 3: It is the color of flaming bronze and it is very large.

Pupil 2: And the sky around it is a blazing blue tile color.

Pupil 4: And the jungle burned with sunlight.

Teacher: Now, don't go too far. You've only two hours, you know. You wouldn't want to get caught out! (Дети бегают по сцене, снимают пиджаки, подставляют лица солнцу)

Pupil 5: Oh, it's better than the sun lamps, isn't it ?

Pupil 6: Much, much better !

Pupil 7: Look! That is a nest of octopi, clustering up great arms. It is wavering! Teacher: Great jungle that cover Venus grew and never stopped growing, tumultuously, even as you watched it. Children, what color is it?

Pupil 1: It is the color of rubber and ash, this jungle, from the many years without sun.

Pupil 2: It is the color of stones and white cheeses and ink, and it was the color of the moon. (Дети бегают, смеются, играют в прятки, догонялки, плетут венки, протягивают руки к солнцу).

Pupil 3: Friends, what a fresh air! Breath it and listen to the silence.

Внезапно все стали останавливаться. Девочка протянула раскрытую ладонь.

Pupil 7 (a girl): Oh, look, look. (They came slowly to look at her opened palm.) In the center of it is a single raindrop. (She began to cry, looking at it. They glanced quietly at the sun.) Oh. Oh. (На экране интерактивной доски - снова хмурое небо; слышен шум дождя, грохот грома и завывание ветра; дети перестали улыбаться, убегают)

Scene IV

(Дети стоят у макета окна)

Pupil 3: Will it be seven more years ?

Pupil 4: Yes. Seven. (Кто-то всхлипнул).

Pupil 5: Margot !

Pupil 3: What ?

Pupil 5: She's still in the closet where we locked her.

Pupil 3: Margot.(Дети стоят, не глядя друг на друга, опустив головы)

Pupil 4: Margot.

One of the girls said: Well…? (Никто не сдвинулся с места) Go on. (Прошептала девочка. Дети подошли к двери с надписью Closet и на сцену вышла Марго. Все подходят к девочке, обнимают её или жмут руку.)
