Description

Dinosaur Island.

Ever wondered what it would be like to stumble across a group of dinosaurs, enjoying the sun in their deckchairs? What better place to experience such an encounter – on the Isle of Wight!

Cast of 24

Duration: around 20 minutes not including music suggestions.

This script introduces us to the dinosaurs that graced the Island around 130 million years ago giving a clearer insight into what life was like – not for us, course – our life span of 2.5 million years somewhat pales into insignificance alongside that of these mighty beasts – who clocked up 160 million years! Get ready to be impressed!

Sample Text

(Enter Meat-Eaters Neovenator, Eotyrannus and Baryonyx)

Narrator:             Welcome!

Neo:                      And about time!

Eo:                          Yeah! Fancy making us wait this long!

Baryonyx:            You really shouldn’t keep a meat-eater waiting!

Narrator:             Er, I trust I don’t detect a threat in there, anywhere? Everybody else has behaved themselves extremely well so far! Please don’t prove the exception to the rule. Or your stay might be somewhat short-lived!

(All three growl and snarl)

Neo:                      Is that meant to be a threat?

Narrator:             No, just a well-meant warning! Now, come on. Let’s hear about yourselves, starting with you, Neo.

Neo:                      (Snappily) Neovenator, to you!

Narrator:             (Spluttering) Nnnno need, to adopt that tone with me!

Neo:                      (Snarling) Oh really? Care to look at my teeth?

Eo:                          (To Neo) Hey! He’s not your dentist! Give the guy a break!

Neo:                      In which limb?

Eo:                          Now, now, Neo. That’s not a very attractive side you’re putting forward! Just because you’re one of the largest and most ferocious predators this Island ever had.

Baryonyx:            More so than me? I’ll have you know

Narrator:             (Interrupting) Yes, yes, I can see where this is going. (Pauses) And I don’t like it! There’s one person in charge here today and like it or not, it’s me! So enough of this fighting talk and stick to the facts! I don’t want any blood spilt here today!
