I only ask for a place to sleep and food to eat. My son has just drowned in the deep waters of the ocean. Well! Bring him in! He shall be honored in this humble island of ours!ĭaedalus! My good man! Welcome to Sicily! What brings you here? SOUND “E”: EXCITED BUZZING AROUND DAEDALUS After his flight, he landed safely on the island of Sicily. Being of a youthful mind, Icarus did not believe in his father's warnings and therefore disregarded them thus, the glue on his wings melted and his wings fell off the instant he went too high.ĭaedalus could do nothing for his son. In fact, Icarus does hear his father's warning. I cannot hear you over the sound of the wind and birds!
#Icarus father how to#
Icarus, my son! Do not fly too high or else the sun will melt the glue and the wings will fall off! You do not know how to swim!
#Icarus father free#
SOUND “C”: GAWKING AND WIND IN BACKGROUND, CONTINUES UNTIL THE END OF THE ACTįather! We are flying so high! I feel free from the mental and physical chains of our prison. Do not fly too low, either, or else the ocean spray will make the feathers incapable of flight. I cannot stress enough the importance of this, Icarus: Do not fly too high, or else the very weak adhesive I have constructed will surely melt from the heat of the sun. SOUND “B”: SLING SHOT KNOCKING A BIRD DOWNĪfter much work, Daedalus and Icarus finally finish the sets of wings. Icarus, I’ve concocted a temporary adhesive for the wings. The next morning, Daedalus and Icarus are busily working on their wings with the help of Icarus’ sling. We’ll start killing birds for feathers tomorrow. It goes against every law of physics I have ever studied. I know it’s crazy, but it might be just crazy enough to work. This is the only possible way we can get out, though. We can make ourselves two pairs of wings and fly home. Never mind that! I just thought of a brilliant idea. I was dreaming about being in line for a buffet of Twinkies and chocolate bars. What are you saying, father? I was not quite awake. (EXCITED) Icarus, my son! Wake up! I have an idea! We can make wings and fly out to freedom. Finally, we find them taking a much needed nap. I guess we will be stuck here forever.ĭaedalus and Icarus have spent many sleepless nights trying to think of a way out of the labyrinth. Preposterous! We would tire out before making it halfway up. The walls and floors are too thick to dig through. I designed the maze so that no one could tunnel out. How about we tunnel under the walls and make our way out? It would be impossible to find that tiny thread in this maze, my son. If we can find Theseus' thread, we can follow it out of the labyrinth. Well, father, I don't blame you for helping a man in his time of need, but we need to find a way to get out. (ICARUS AND DAEDALUS ARE DEEP IN THOUGHT) Just to see valiant young Theseus alive is reward enough.īack in the Labyrinth, Icarus and Daedalus are wondering how to get out. Oh! Thank you very much, dear Daedalus! How can I ever thank you? If he defeats the fearsome monster, this thread will lead him back to the entrance. Oh! My dear Theseus has been summoned to feed the Minotaur who lives in the labyrinth! (SOBBING)īrave Theseus, eh? (DEEP IN THOUGHT) Hmmm…Take this string to him and tell him to leave one end at the entrance of the labyrinth and let it unwind behind him as he searches for the dreaded beast. Princess Ariadne! What is the problem? May I be of assistance in any way? I guess fate has an awful sense of humor. I designed it myself so that no one could find the way out.
I helped one of the worst enemies of the King Minos, and in return he locked us in this maze. Well, Icarus, I'm afraid this is all my fault. What is the real reason we are in this place? (BORED AND CURIOUS)Father, ever since King Minos imprisoned us, I've been wondering…
A long time ago, in the time of the ancient Greeks, the wise old man Daedalus was trapped in the labyrinth of Crete, an endless maze, with his young son, Icarus.
