Script Sample
Granny – (Shouting through the door) Hello? Who is it?
Wolf: Its me! Your next guest.
Granny: What name is it please?
Wolf: Oh erm, Dave
Granny: Dave? What surname is it, Dave?
Wolf: Oh erm…..let me think….erm…(Pause looks around his surroundings)...Tree.
Granny: Dave Tree?
Wolf: Erm yes, that’s me, Dave erm… Tree
Granny: That doesn’t sound like a real person’s name.
Wolf: Oh, I am really real alright. Yep, Dave Tree here in the flesh.
Granny: Hmm I am not sure; I shouldn’t open the door to strangers.
Wolf: Oh, I am not a stranger, I am a guest…and would it help if I said I was rich?
Granny: Rich? Well why didn’t you say. (To audience) How do I look? Presentable? Coming!
Granny opens the door.
Granny – Greetings to you Dave Tree. Welcome to my humble abode. I’m Granny Hood. I trust you found the place without too much difficulty.
Villian music plays. The wolf steps in dressed head to toe in tourist paraphernalia.
Wolf – Oh my dear lady, no difficulty at all. The traffic was non-existent and my google maps held up all the way here.
Granny – Did it take you long?
Wolf – A while, but I did stop along the way. I was so hungry I could’ve eaten a horse and gone back for the jockey. (To audience). In fact, I did. (Wry smile).
Granny – You must be thirsty after your long journey. Why don’t you just sit right here, and I’ll make you a nice cup of tea.
Wolf – Oh you are too good to me. That would be divine.
Granny – I’ll be back in a tick.
Granny exits stage right. Wolf turns to the audience and starts taking the tourist paraphernalia off.
Wolf – Yes, I know I look ridiculous. Well, what did you expect? I had to get inside somehow and it’s not like I can blow this place down. Now, all I have to do is remove that old leather bag from the equation and then I can set my trap for Little Red Riding Hood. And this time, I will get her. Won’t I? (Audience business) Oh, yes, I will. (Audience business) Just watch. Oh Granny Hood!
Granny – Yes dear?
Wolf – Would you mind helping me with something in here?
Granny enters. The wolf is standing ready to attack and growls at Granny.
Wolf - AAARRRGGGGHHHH
Granny looks the wolf up and down calmly.
Granny – Oh I see you’ve got undressed already. I’m so glad you’re settling in.
Wolf – What?
Granny – If you need them, there are spare pillows on top of the wardrobe.
