Original:
Rory stood pensively before the wall, which towered many dozens of feet high and had, so far as he could tell, no doors, no notches, no features of any kind. How frustrating, and yet, it was certainly a challenge.
Staged:
(RORY and BELINDA stare up at a wall—it is high enough that its top cannot be seen on stage.)
BELINDA: How many feet high is it, do you think?
RORY: (excitedly) Dozens, I should think! No less than 60.
BELINDA: There must be some kind of door! Or notches, or dents, something to climb . . .
RORY: (gleeful) No, nothing of the sort. No features of any kind—look!
BELINDA (pouting): How tremendously frustrating!
RORY: Ah, but what a delicious challenge!

2. Lakshmi’s summer camp is turning the fairy tale “Rapunzel” into a staged drama. Compare the original tale to her adaptation:
Original:
How can you dare, said she with an angry look, descend into my garden and steal my rampion like a thief? You shall suffer for it. Ah, answered he, let mercy take the place of justice, I only made up my mind to do it out of necessity. My wife saw your rampion from the window, and felt such a longing for it that she would have died if she had not got some to eat. Then the enchantress allowed her anger to be softened, and said to him, if the case be as you say, I will allow you to take away with you as much rampion as you will, only I make one condition, you must give me the child which your wife will bring into the world.
–Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm, “Rapunzel.” Grimms' Fairy Tales
Adaptation:
ENCHANTRESS: (furiously) Stealing the rampion from my garden, right under my nose? How dare you!
MAN: (desperately) Please forgive me! I know I stole from you; but I only did it because I absolutely had to!
ENCHANTRESS: Had to steal? Ridiculous!
MAN: But I did have to! My wife needed the plant so badly that she was dying! I couldn’t just let her die!
