A Letter to Jane/The Tiger lyrics

A Letter to Jane/The Tiger


ANNA composes a letter. Her sister, JANE appears.
JANE
SISTER... ANNA, ANNA...
ANNA
MY DEAREST SISTER, JANE, YOU ARE THE GREATEST BLESSING TO ME.
I WRITE THIS WITH A TROUBLED HEART.
I DO NOT KNOW QUITE WHERE TO START.
SO I SHALL LET MY THOUGHTS
RAMBLE LOOSE AND FREE.
JANE
ANNA...
ANNA
YOU KNOW THAT I AM PROUD OF MY SCIENTIFIC MIND.
OF MY INTELLECT AND WIT.
ANNA and JANE
A DIFFERENT KIND A DIFFERENT SORT OF WOMAN...
ANNA
MY INTELLIGENCE IS LARGE. MY PATIENCE IS SMALL.
MY PRIDE WILL BE MY FALL.
JANE
ANNA...
ANNA
MY PRIDE WILL BE MY FALL.
The tiger. Do you remember the tiger?
JANE
The tiger.

ANNA
I WAS TEN
AND YOU WERE SEVEN WHEN THE CARNIVAL PASSED THROUGH.
JANE
WE HAD NO MONEY
YOU BEGGED OUR FATHER; YOU PROMISED HIM YOU?D DO
ANNA and JANE
EVERY CHORE, EVERY TASK TO EARN HIS REWARD: FOUR SHINY PENNIES.
ANNA
I EARNED OUR REWARD.
JANE
YOU EARNED OUR REWARD.
ANNA
BAREFOOT, WE WALKED INTO TOWN.
JANE
FOUR PENNIES IN OUR HANDS.
ANNA
TO THE CARNIVAL
JANE
FROM MAGICAL,
ANNA and JANE
DISTANT LANDS!
JANE
THE TENTS---
ANNA
THE CLOWNS---
JANE
THE SIDE SHOW---
ANNA
THE ANIMALS---
ANNA and JANE
THE TIGER.
JANE
Anna---step back! Be careful!
ANNA
Closer...come on, Jane!
ANNA
PACING IN HIS CAGE---
JANE
GROWLING IN FURY---
ANNA
WE STEPPED TOO CLOSE---
JANE
HE LEAPT AT US---
ANNA
YOU SCREAMED AND RAN---
JANE
YOU STOOD AND LAUGHED. DARING HIM.
YOU STOOD YOUR GROUND.
YOU NEVER FLINCHED. ANNA, THE BRAVE.
ANNA, THE CONQUEROR. ANNA, MY SISTER
WHO WILL NOT OBEY THE RULES.
ANNA, THE MOCKER OF FATE.
ANNA
ANNA, THE QUEEN OF FOOLS.
ANNA
ANNA, THE SCARED.
ANNA, THE PENNILESS
ANNA, YOUR SISTER WHO IS FRIGHTENED OF HER AGE. ANNA, WHO?S FRIGHTENED THAT THE TIGER HAS BEEN LOOSED
AND NO LONGER IN HIS CAGE.
JANE
ANNA... ANNA.... ANNA...
JANE
COME HOME, ANNA
ANNA
COME HOME.
JANE
ANNA,
COME HOME.
BOTH
HOME.
