Jack & the Beanstalk Pantomime Script Excerpt
SIMON has been talking to the AUDIENCE. DAME TROT enters & interrupts them. She needs help getting ready for today's milk round.
DAME TROT: There you are Simon, I’ve been looking for you everywhere!
SIMON: I’ve been waiting for you, I didn’t know when you’d show up.
DAME TROT: Well never mind who’s been waiting where for who. We need to get all the milk sorted & delivered before it goes off.
SIMON: Not a problem mum. I like helping you sort the milk out. (Pointing at the milk bottles on the table) Is that what all these bottles are for?
DAME TROT: Exactly.
SIMON: And what about the ones on the wall in the garden?
DAME TROT: What colour are they?
SIMON: Green.
DAME TROT: How many are there?
SIMON: Nine.
DAME TROT: That’s funny, there were ten there earlier!
SIMON: There were nine on the wall but I accidentally I knocked one off.
DAME TROT: So you’re saying one green bottle accidentally fell?
SIMON: Yeah, so now there’s eight green bottles standing on the wall.
DAME TROT: Was there any milk in it?
SIMON: Yes, it spilt everywhere.
DAME TROT: Well there’s no point in crying over it. (Beat) It was much easier to get the milk round sorted when your father was alive, oh what I wouldn't give to go back the day I first met him!
SIMON: You never told me about that.
DAME TROT: I’m not sure I can talk about your father right now, I’ll get all upset. (She sniffles a little)
SIMON: Mum, are you ok?
DAME TROT: Yes, dear. I’m fine. (She sniffles again) Totally fine. (She sniffles again, louder)
SIMON: Are you sure?
DAME TROT: (Still sniffling) Oh yes. I’m hunky dory absolutely totally & unequivocally… (She breaks down in tears) Oh I’m not fine. I’m not fine at all. In fact… I’ve got the feels.
The AUDIENCE respond “You’re a fox, Trot!”
(To the AUDIENCE) Thank you, I feel a bit better.
SIMON: Do you think it might help to talk about him?
DAME TROT: Of course, but I just haven’t got the time. We’ve got the milk round to do!
SIMON: You could tell me about him while we sort the milk out?
DAME TROT: I suppose that could work. This is what we’ll do. I’ll tell you the story of how we met & you read out the names of the customers from that little book as we go. Every time you call a name I’ll put that person’s milk bottle into the milk crate.
SIMON: Sounds like a ‘crate’ idea!
