Lady or the Tiger? Radio Trailer by Ashley, Kristen, Ryan

Lady or the Tiger

Lady or the Tiger?

Features: Voice-over narration; extrapolated dialog (there is no dialog in the story); exemplary background music

Since the music dominates, here is the dialog:

Narrator:  In the very olden time there once lived a king. . .
King:  For your crimes, you shall pay!  Who’s to say that it’s unfair?  For did you not choose your fate yourself?
Narrator:  When a man, a commoner by birth, dared to love the princess. . .
Princess:  Go! Go! For my father is coming.
Narrator:  Will their love end happy?
Princess:  But, Father, I love him.
King:  Love?  You are but a child.  He will pay for this treachery, for none escape the judgment of the king’s court!
Narrator:  Two doors.  One. . . a beast.  The other. . . a maiden of noble birth to which he will be married.   She has the choice.  Shall she surrender her love to another woman? Or have him be killed?  
Which is stronger – Love or Jealousy? 
A short story by Frank R. Stockton, Lady or the Tiger?
