Dick Whittington Pantomime Script Excerpt
An evil chord plays as QUEEN RAT enters. FRANK & SAMMY (her henchmen) enter from the other side.
FRANK: Sorry we’re late ma'am.
SAMMY: A hundred apologies.
QUEEN RAT: I’ve told you before to stop apologising.
FRANK: And we’re very sorry we do.
SAMMY: A thousand apologies.
QUEEN RAT: I said stop it.
FRANK: Please forgive us.
SAMMY: A million apologies.
QUEEN RAT: Have you quite finished?
FRANK: Yes.
Beat. FRANK & SAMMY look at each other and then back at QUEEN RAT. They speak at the same time.
FRANK & SAMMY: Sorry.
QUEEN RAT rolls her eyes.
QUEEN RAT: Enough. Where are the others?
FRANK: They’re on their way. Dean got distracted by a wheelie bin.
SAMMY: You should have seen it, it was overflowing with really good rubbish.
FRANK: I can’t believe the sort of thing those humans throw away!
QUEEN RAT: That’s the trouble with humans, they don’t know their rubbish!
FRANK: They’ve even got this new slogan… reduce, reuse, recycle!
SAMMY: Is that why they’re reusing some of the same jokes as last year?
QUEEN RAT: What’s the latest with Alderman Fitzwarren’s city clean up plan?
FRANK: Bad news I’m afraid. They’ve got a council meeting tomorrow about extending the low emissions zone.
QUEEN RAT: What is that?
FRANK: It’s part of his plan to give everyone easy access to clean air and fresh water.
QUEEN RAT is horrified and almost gags at the idea.
QUEEN RAT: What?!
SAMMY: Actually, that’s not true ma’am.
QUEEN RAT: Thank goodness!
SAMMY: His plan is to give everyone fresh air and clean water!
QUEEN RAT: That’s even worse! How are we supposed to spread disease and pestilence when public services are going round cleaning everything up! Oh I hate the council!
