Pinocchio Pantomime Script Excerpt
RONNIE & the ENSEMBLE are gathered in the Town Square. FLUMMOX’S voice booms from offstage.
FLUMMOX (Off): Attention everybody! The Mayor of Pantoland is coming to make an announcement!
RONNIE: That’s Flummox, the Mayoral announcer. He’s louder than a bright pink shirt, but he keeps the Mayor on track & everything running smoothly.
FLUMMOX enters.
FLUMMOX: Make way! Make way! For the Mayor is coming to make an announcement!
The MAYOR enters smiling & shaking hands with the ENSEMBLE as he greets them.
MAYOR: Thank you. Hello everyone. (Etc)
ENSEMBLE: Hello Mr Mayor!/How are you?/Good to see you/etc.
FLUMMOX: Silence for the Mayor, so you can hear his announcement!
MAYOR: Yes, thank you Flummox.
The MAYOR coughs to clear his throat. FLUMMOX interrupts him.
FLUMMOX: No coughing, spluttering or sneezing for the Mayor is about to make an announcement!
MAYOR: Will you stop shouting, I’m trying to speak.
FLUMMOX: No shouting for the Mayor is trying to make an announcement!
MAYOR: Will you please be quiet!
Everyone stares at FLUMMOX expectantly. He finally gets it & steps aside sheepishly.
MAYOR: Thank you. (Addressing the ENSEMBLE/AUDIENCE) It is wonderful to see so many of you gathered here today as I have some good news...
The ENSEMBLE cheers.
MAYOR: And some bad news.
The ENSEMBLE boos.
MAYOR: First the bad news - due to the climate emergency it is henceforth forbidden to cut down trees in the Great Forest. Anyone found doing so will be sent to prison immediately!
ENSEMBLE 1: So no more tree felling equipment?
MAYOR: Precisely.
ENSEMBLE 2: You’re cutting back on clippers?
ENSEMBLE 3: You won’t be seeing saws?
ENSEMBLE 4: You’re axing axes?
MAYOR: Yes, yes & yes. If we don’t make some drastic changes then Jack won’t be able to grow his beanstalk!
