Pinocchio Cast of 6

Pinocchio. A story of redemption and self-discovery – with one small twist! With a synopsis of the original tale, teaching input, discussion points and suggestions for further activities Also available as a class play

This script was requested by a Community Theatre group aged 8-16 years in Australia who had previously used my other alternative fairy tale scripts – casts of 6 – combined into one production which was a huge success. The producer has kindly given me permission to share photos of the children performing Grimm Fairy Tales – A Re-Telling:

This script can be used for performance or, owing to its small cast size, as a guided reading script i.e. for a group of 6 within the classroom.

Also available in the same format: Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel and Cinderella.

Pinocchio – a cast of 30 (easily adaptable up or down) is also available – production of around 40 minutes depending on the number of music suggestions used.

Sample Text:

Narrator:         Oh dear, why is it some folk really do have to learn the hard way?

Pinocchio:       (Sighing) There’s no need to rub it in. I admit I wasn’t the world’s fastest learner!

Geppetto:       Ah, but you got there eventually

Cricket:            (Interrupting) Eventually! Wow, but didn’t he just mega try our patience along the way!

Pinocchio:       I know. I was a bit of a wooden top!

Cricket:            I’ll say!

Geppetto:       (Interrupting) No, no! He was a good boy underneath!

Narrator:         Oh, there you go again, Geppetto! Making excuses for him!

Geppetto:       Well, he was my son!

Cricket:            Certainly ‘a chip off the old block’!

Pinocchio:       (Angrily) Hey! Watch how you speak to my father!

Cricket:            (Gasping) And what about everything you put him through!

Narrator:         (Coughing) Ahem! For the benefit of those not in the know, perhaps we should give a little of the story, at this point?

Pinocchio:       Not forgetting there are always two sides to a story!

Cricket:            Or two versions, if you have anything to do with it! Think nose, is all I’m saying!

Narrator:         Now, now you two! Perhaps we should try and put our differences to one side.

Geppetto:       Yes, a little tolerance, I think is needed around here.

Cricket:            (Huffily) We’ll certainly need that in large doses if we are to have to listen to

Cat:                 (Interrupting) Oh, here we go! Before we’ve so much as opened our mouths!

Fox:                 Guilty before we’ve even been heard!

Narrator:         Well, you were! Guilty, that is!

Cat:                 We know! But do you really need to lay it on so thick?

Pinocchio:       Well, yes! As a matter of fact, we do! You misled me not just once but twice!

Fox:                 (Stroking his chin) Hmm. Now let me see. Doesn’t that make you stupid (pauses) times two?
