Opening scene - sample
| SCENE 1 LAUNDRY |
(Intro to Widow Twankey, Wishee Washee and Aladdin )
Enter Widow Twankey. |
| TWANKEY |
(loudly) Minnie! Tilly! Where are those girls?
(Enter Minnie and Tilly) Say hello to the boys and girls. |
| MINNIE & TILLY |
Hello Boys and Girls. It’s good to see you all again. |
| TWANKEY |
(To audience) You’re going to get it tonight… three hours of unadulterated rubbish. You know what unadulterated means, don’t you? Without an adult. This show is only for boys and girls, so if you haven’t got a child I suggest you borrow one quick. No, it’s all right; adults can stay ….if you’re very quiet. |
| MINNIE |
No you shouldn’t say that, we need you all to shout out loud. Last night (year) it was terrible. Not a sound, it was like performing in a morgue. |
| TWANKEY |
Then someone opened the doors and let the audience in. We were relieved. Our sound engineer’s as deaf as a post so I need you to make a noise to keep him awake. You need to Boo whenever you see Abanazar – He’s the evil uncle. And you need to cheer whenever I come on. |
| TILLY |
Make a lot of noise. |
| MINNIE |
We don’t mind if you throw fruit and vegetables at us. |
| TILLY |
As long as they’re not in tins. |
| TWANKEY |
My name is Widow Twankey. I’m called that because my husband died and left me to bring up our two sons ALL on my own. (Ahhhhh!) (Crying) its not been easy…look at me …you wouldn’t think I’m just over thirty-five, would
you?……….Who
said that! It’s only out by a few years. It’s hard bringing up two boys on your own. I’ve worked my fingers to the bone for them boys and what have I got to show for it? |
| MINNIE |
Bony fingers! |
| TWANKEY |
I’ve got this little laundry. My customers call it the holy laundry – not because its right next to the temple – its just that the clothes sometimes go back
full of holes. We’ve
got a song about my laundry. Do you want to hear it? Well... you’re going to….here it is. (Sung to ‘A Yellow Rose of Texas’). |
