Sample Text
Little Red Riding Hood: But Grandma, what big ears you’ve got!
Narrator: All the better to hear you with!
(Aside) Oh! This is even better than I thought! I’m an absolute natural. I can hear that phone ringing now ‘Would you be available to star in the West End next week? We’ve heard such glowing reports about ..’
Little Red Riding Hood: Hey! Wait a minute!
Narrator: No! No! What about the teeth?
Little Red Riding Hood: Oh! OK. Now you come to mention it, they do need a bit of a clean!
Narrator: No! No! Stick to the script!
Little Red Riding Hood: Oh you mean, ‘But Grandma, what big teeth you’ve got’?
Narrator: (Growling) All the better to eat you with!
Little Red Riding Hood: (Nonchalantly) Yeah, right!
Narrator: Hey! You’re meant to scream and run away!
Little Red Riding Hood: Oh really?

Wolf: Whereas I am!
(Little Red Riding Hood screams)
(Enter Grandmother)
Grandmother: Oh really, Little Red Riding Hood! Do you have to make all this noise?
Little Red Riding Hood: But there’s a wolf in here! Can’t you see? And anyway, aren’t you meant to be unwell?
Grandmother: Oh that’s just your mother, making a fuss as usual. Nothing wrong with me!
Wolf: Well, that’s where I’m afraid we disagree!
Grandmother: (Indignantly) Pardon?
Narrator: Yes, I’m with the wolf on this one!
