Rhodopis and the Song of the Falcon
Play Script-
An adaptation of and Egyptian Fairy Tale

What a wonderful chance for students to exercise both their dramatic and their musical abilities in this adaptation of the Egyptian Cinderella story complete with song lyrics for a musical production! Once again, kindness and self-sacrifice are rewarded, and the selfish get their come-uppance in this multicultural fairy tale adventure from Egypt.

Synopsis:
In Rhodopis and the Song of the Falcon, Rhodopis (the Egyptian Cinderella) a Greek girl with fair hair, has been made a slave to a kind master, but while he treats her fairly, the other dark-complexioned Egyptian servant girls make her do their chores and laugh at how pale she seems. Rhodopis' only friends are the animals. One day, when her master sees her dancing, he gives her a pair of beautiful slippers. A falcon steals one, however, and brings it to the Pharoah who is looking for a bride. The Pharoah looks throughout Egypt for the owner of the slipper and eventually finds Rhodopis, whom he marries and takes with him to live at court.

Description:
Rhodopis and the Song of the Falcon contains strong roles for three women, six supporting male roles, and three good animal characters of any gender. It is a challenging play which can be made into a musical as it has song lyrics, and is best for 4th grade and up.
Production ideas for sets, costumes, etc. and thematic curriculum ideas are included at the end. The hard copy version is 8 1/2" x 11" in size with spiral binding (which lets it lie flat on a desk, when opened) and color cover.
