Roll up, Roll up for the Fabulous GransRus Panto!!!

[Daisy]

This is for all those Grannies who haven't got Grandchildren young enough to take them to the Panto and those Grannies who get taken to the Panto by their little ones every year!

First of all - what panto shall we do:

Choose just one: The poll closes at 5 pm tomorrow (Saturday,23rd)

Think about what role you'd like to play in your chosen Panto and start rehearsing your songs, dances and jokes, ladies.

[Gemini]

Opening scene: Cinderella, wearing her second best pinny and Buttons' old slippers held together with duct tape, is sweeping up the hearth with a manual sucky up thingy. She cries as the sucky up thingy doesn't suck up - it just moves the ashes from one side of the fireplace to the other.

Enter Buttons:

[Next person - please continue]

[Oma]

(Buttons)
Hello Cinders , why are you crying ?
Let me look at the sucky up thing maybe I can fix it for you ,
Put the kettle on and we shall have a cup of tea ,everything is ok after a cup of tea isn't it ,

Enter Wicked step Ma ,,,
CINDERELLA- CINDERELLA , what are you doing you stupid girl , Why haven't you cleared those ashes up yet ?
I told you I wanted my best dress ironing and tea and cookies for your two Beautiful sisters !!
Oh I am so blessed to have two darling daughters , shame I was lumbered with a lazy wretch like you ,

When you have finished entertaining that boy I want lunch on the table , only a light lunch as we are dining out tonight
Just a Sandwich , maybe a cake , and a pork pie oh and some pickles and sausage rolls and trifle ,
Don't bother with the fruit my darlings are on a diet ;
Chop chop girl we haven't got all day we need to make ourselves more beautiful than we already are ,,,,,,

[Daisy]

The wicked stepmother swiped at Buttons' hat as she stormed out of the kitchen. Cinderella and Buttons looked at each other and laughed.

Buttons: Silly old Moo! Don't let her get to you Cinders. Beautiful daughters - HAH! two of the ugliest t***s I've ever seen. Come on, I'll do the ashes and then give you a hand with the pork pie for the porky daughters.

Buttons pulls a funny face, and Cinders smiles through her tears.

Cinders: Oh, Buttons I don't know what I'd do without you!

Buttons blushes beautifully.



In the Grand Drawing Room the two ugly sisters discuss what they're going to wear to the Prince's Grand Ball that evening.

[Gemini]

"Florentina Darling!!" exclaimed Mozzarella, "We must plan our wardrobe for the ball so that we don't clash. That would never do! Which dress will you wear tonight? The pink one which matches your eyes, or the yellow, which suits your skin so beautifully?"

Florentina narrowed her eyes..

[Plantaholic]

Meanwhile in the kitchen Cinders is wishing she could go to the ball, her little friends the mice are comforting her as she makes the lunch.

[Clover]

Cinders sighs, “ How I wish I was going to the Ball .The Prince will be there and I would love to catch a glimpse of him.I hear he is very handsome”

[Oma]

In their bedrooms Florentina is screaming

Mama -Mama Mozzerella is being mean to me!!!

What are you wearing my dear Mozz your spotty dress to match your acne ?

Now now girls said their Mama making a grand entrance , no need to squabble you are too beautiful for that ,

We will have Cinderella make you both two elaborate dresses , maybe Purple and Orange for you Florentine and maybe a Pea Green and Red for you Mozzerella ,

After all you must stand out my lovelies , and Cinderella has nothing else to do as SHE wont be at the ball

Cackling like three witches they set about designing their dresses .....
