The Labyrinth is the fictional play Sarah is seen reading at the start of Labyrinth. Sarah recites lines from the play both at the start and end of the film, and her victory hinges on her ability to correctly remember the play's climatic speech.
Plot
The play is only known through the lines Sarah recites from it in the film. The most important speech in the play is the one Sarah says aloud at the start of the film, and later has to recite at the end of the film to defeat Jareth.
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered,
I have fought my way here
To the castle beyond the Goblin City,
To take back the child that you have stolen,
For my will is as strong as yours,
And my kingdom is as great.
You have no power over me.
At the end of the film, Sarah does not recite the speech she makes at the start of the film word-for-word, as she leaves out the line "To take back the child that you have stolen." This omission can perhaps be taken as an indication that Sarah appreciates that Jareth did not exactly steal Toby, since he took him at her bequest.
