«So we sailed on to the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine.»
Scene no 87: The legendary submarine (Sutcliffe model, The Sea Wolf Atomic Submarine, boxed tinplate clockwork toy) is preparing to dive into the green sea of 60s pop music (McFARLANE Toys, The Beatles Yellow Submarine, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band).
Lyrics: From the song “Yellow Submarine” by The Beatles.
This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
Feared by their breed and famous by their birth,
Renowned for their deeds as far from home
For Christian service and true chivalry.
Scene no 86: English knights (Britains Swoppets, 15 th
Century Knights, The Wars of the Roses, 10 different plastic figures) protect
the throne which encloses the Stone of Scone (Britains Toys, Coronation Chair).
The lyrics of the play: By William Shakespeare. From «Richard II», Act
2, scene 1.
