GOLDILOCKS
CHARACTERS:
GOLDILOCKS, AN AWFUL GIRL
ANN, THE GIRL
SAM, THE BOY
JIMMY, THE BEAR
JENNY, THE BEAR
ALEX, THEIR SON
SCENE I
SETTING: A green meadow in a forest.
Three bears are coming out. They are doing morning exercises.
JIMMY, THE BEAR: Hands up, hands down, hands on hips, sit down.
Did you have good night, darling?
JANNY, THE BEAR: No, thanks. I’ve had a nightmare. I dreamt that the naughty girl, you know her name, visited us again. I dreamt that I had eaten her. What shall I do?
JIMMY, THE BEAR: Leave it to me.
JENNY, THE BEAR: She's eaten our porridge. She's broken the chair.
ALEX, THEIR SON: I like her! She's so funny. She laughed so loudly and smiled. It was such an adventure!
JIMMY, THE BEAR: Ah, well. I’m not one to quarrel. Come back to the forest now. Ready for work?
ALL (singing):
When trees are green and forests are green,
And the grass is green and long,
It's good to walk in the forest
And listen to little birds' song.
The bears come away.
SCENE II
SETTING: there is a big oak-tree in the middle of the green meadow in the forest.
Children are playing hide-and-seek.
GOLDILOCKS: Here I am! (Hides)
SAM: It's good to be out-of-doors and play, isn't it? Yhe sun is shining… Birds are singing. I like wild life. What about you, Ann?
ANN: May be sometimes. But I prefer watching TV, I'm a telly addict.
I usually watch TV for 4 or 5 hours a day.
GOLDILOCKS (hidden): Here I am! Sam, where are you?
SAM: Have you heard her story?
ANN: What a bore. As far as I remember there are some cartoons… They are extremely popular. A stick falls down and hits her.
ANN: Ah! What's this?
GOLDILOCKS (hidden): A big load of nothing.
SAM: She is really awful. Come away!
(GOLDILOCKS appears with a long stick in her hand.
GOLDILOCKS. Who comes first to the hill may sit where he will.
SCENE III
SETTING: In the forest, near the fence leading to the bear’s house
Bears appear.
JIMMY, THE BEAR (to the others): I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we had got rid of the girl. The bad news is that she promised to come back. GOLDILOCKS (singing).”It's funny how often they say to me, "Jane, have you been a good girl? Have you been a good girl?"And when they have said it, they say it again.” Where shall I go out? Come to see my bears. That's a brilliant idea! I love them all, but especially their porridge. I've never eaten such porridge. Butter and sugar, honey and nuts… mmm. My favourite meal. The house must be somewhere here. (Sees a board with a sign "NO GIRLS") I'll go to the left, then turn to the right, cross the road and through the forest… left, right, left, right (turning about). Where can I get information? (Sees Jimmy). Good morning, sir! This is a pleasant surprise!
JIMMY, THE BEAR: I don’t think so. Did you bring a rifle?
GOLDILOCKS: If I had a rifle the sky would fall. If the sky fell, we would catch larks. Good-bye, sir.
She comes away and then the second bear appears.
JIMMY, THE BEAR: She is really awful. She is the worst thing in the world.
JENNY, THE BEAR: She knows how many beans make five. But concentrate… she is coming.
The girl comes in and meets ALEX.
ALEX, THEIR SON (out of the forest, singing):
I think the girls are very nice,
Their locks are long
Their faces are white and lips are pink.
GOLDILOCKS. Warning! I'm an awful girl. I'm really awful. I am the worst thing in the world.
ALEX, THEIR SON. You're the most beautiful in the world. You are the best thing in the world.
GOLDILOCKS (impressed). Really?
(Two people appear)
ANN. Is it the end?
JENNY, THE BEAR. Yes, such a lovely end. You know, unusual endings make me
forget the problems of everyday life.
The end
