(Setting: At Victor Hugo’s House. There is an 1829 calendar on the wall.  There is a table and a chair in the right hand corner of the room.  There is a lit candle, a notebook and a pen on the table. Victor Hugo enters and looks through the window)

 

 

VICTOR HUGO: (Rubbing his hands together) It’s a cold day today…anyway  (he turns to the audience) It’s time to write my next novel.  And I know exactly what it will be about.  The Hunchback of Notre Dame. (He sits, opens the notebook, takes the pen in his hands,  and starts to write ). Once upon a time in Paris….

(Setting:  Outside the cathedral.  The Woman and the Man enter.  The Woman is holding a baby in her arms. The baby is covered with a blanket)

 

 

WOMAN: I’ll leave him here!.  He’s a monster!.  I hate him!.  (leaves the baby on the floor)

 

 

MAN: (nervously) Let’s get out of here, before somebody sees us!.

 

 

(They leave.  Father Frollo enters.  He hears the baby crying.  He approaches to see the baby.  He picks him up, and uncovers him)

 

 

FATHER FROLLO: Oh my God!.  It’s a boy!.    Poor baby… he’s grossly deformed!.  He must be cold and very hungry.  I’ll take him inside, and I’ll give him some milk.  I’ll take care of him.

 

 

(Father Frollo leaves)

FATHER FROLLO: (yelling) Stop sweeping the floor and go to the bell tower and ring the bells.  It’s almost time for mass!.

 

 

QUASIMODO: (yelling) Yes, father!.

 

 

(Quasimodo walks slowly and leaves)

 

 

FATHER FROLLO: Poor Quasimodo.   The tremendous noise of the bells made him deaf.

 

 

(Father Frollo leaves)
