Snow White Play cast of 6 Sample Script
Narrator: Good morning and welcome to
(Enter Snow White, followed by shrieking Queen)
Queen: (Angrily) Snow White? What are you doing here?
Snow White: Oh! I was just about to set off into the woods with the huntsman, as you ordered.
Queen: (Sweetly) Ah! That’s all right then! I just wanted to wish you a wonderful day!
Snow White: How kind! I am rather looking forward to going out! Everyone says how pale I look!
Queen: Exactly! Most unattractive! I’m sure a day in the woods will do you and your complexion the world of good!
(Exit Snow White, waving)
Queen: Ugh! Horrid ugly child!
(Mirror, who has been standing silently to one side, suddenly ‘comes to life’)
Mirror: Well I wouldn’t ..
Queen: (Interrupting) Oh do shut up! How many more times do I have to tell you? I am the fairest of them all!
Mirror: But I always give you the truth!
Queen: Which I do not need to hear around the clock, thank you very much. And anyway, you’ll soon be changing your tune!
Mirror: What do you mean? I can’t sing!
Queen: (Rolling eyes) No, what I meant was, you will give me a different answer next time I ask you that question
Narrator: (Holding up script) Oh, I think I know what that one is!
Queen: And who asked you?
Narrator: (Indignantly) Well, really, madam! There’s no need to be quite so churlish! I am supposed to be directing this story, you know!
Queen: (Dismissively) Huh! What’s to direct?
(To Audience) We all know the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, right?
Narrator: Well, you may think you do. But haven’t you heard? Fairy tales are being rewritten all the time and
Queen: (Interrupting) Oh really? You mean, someone might see me in a more favourable light?
Narrator: Who knows? If you play your cards right who knows what might happen?
Queen: Ooh. Now you’ve got me interested! You’ve no idea how tedious it is being cast and re-cast as a baddie!
Narrator: I do sympathise, ma’am. Very trying for you, I imagine.
Queen: It most certainly is. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I really do have more important things to do with my time than standing around gossiping!
(Exit Queen)
Narrator: (Shaking head) What a charmer! And very nice to make your acquaintance too!
Mirror: Oh I wouldn’t bother if I were you! You really don’t want to get to know that one too well.
Narrator: Hmm. I don’t think I’m going to need much convincing.
Mirror: Take my happy lot – not! As if it weren’t bad enough having to reflect her ladyship’s dazzling façade, I also have to talk to her!
Narrator: Well, if you don’t mind me saying, you don’t seem to have too many problems in that department?
Mirror: So, you think I’m an idle chatterer, do you?
Narrator: Oh, of course not! The thought never crossed my mind!
