The Queen’s 90th Birthday Party Assembly

The Queen’s 90th Birthday Party Assembly. Special half price to celebrate Her Majesty’s Big Day!

The Queen’s 90th Birthday Party Assembly. Whilst ‘gracing this assembly’ with her presence, the ‘party lady’ seems just a little reluctant to join in the festivities. So what can our narrator and supporting cast do to change this situation?

Well, did someone say it was Her Majesty’s 90th birthday? Well, let’s hear it for those 90 reasons to celebrate!
If anyone wants to add some poetry, there were a number of entries for The Telegraph’s competition commemorating the monarch’s birthday – examples of which I am happy to provide if some extra poetry is wanted (I just tried googling winner and couldn’t find it)

(All stand up)

Queen:                 (To Audience) Do be seated! Ah, how wonderful to be surrounded by my loyal subjects on my birthday! 90 years! Not bad, eh?

Narrator:             Well, some of us haven’t been around quite that long, your Majesty! But we are here today to celebrate your birthday with you!

Queen:                 Oh I wouldn’t worry too much about that!

Narrator:             Oh? And why’s that?

Queen:                 (Wistfully) Oh I don’t know. Once one has had as many birthdays as one has ..

Narrator:             You mean, you’re bored of birthdays?

Queen:                 Well, I’m not quite the party creature I used to be!

Narrator:             Nonsense! And you know what? That’s what we’re here to prove to you today!

Queen:                 Oh really! Well ..

(Queen looks uncertain, shaking her head)

Narrator:             (To Cast) OK. Time to make Her Majesty’s day!

Queen:                 (Sighing) You can try ..

Narrator:             Well, with ninety reasons to celebrate your birthday I don’t see how we can go wrong!

Whole cast:        (Exclaiming together) Ninety?

Narrator:             You heard! Ninety! And if we’re going to fit those ninety into the next (looks at watch) fifteen minutes, we’d better get a move on! Off we go!

Queen:                 Well, you don’t mind if I make myself comfortable on this here throne?

(Queen ‘settles herself comfortably’ onto throne)

Queen:                 Ah that’s better. Do start!

Narrator:             Well, there are quite a few perks to being Queen, I think you’ll agree?

(Queen nods)

Child 1:                 For starters, you get to have two birthdays a year! Can’t be bad! That’s your real one on 21st April and another official one in June!
