Cinderella - The Gransnet Panto!

Dandini (Prince Charming's Steward)

My Lord, are you sure that your mother the Queen has sent out invitations to every suitable family with daughters within the land?

Ok - this seems to be the happening place so ..........Enter Stepmother

That man of mine is soft and weak
His daughter is a girly freak
It gives me overwhelming pleasure
My own dear girls to love and treasure.

Check - it is still 2 ugly sisters, isn't it??)

Cinderella's such a cutie
But my dear girls are blessed with beauty
Tall and willowy Salmonella
And so curvaceous my Rubella.

(But perhaps we also have Chlamydia !!)

(She kicks out at the cat, who hisses at her and runs.)

Suggestion from other thread that we call this end of Act 1 and continue Act 2 tomorrow. Do we have a consensus? Stop for overnight break or carry on regardless??

(I said 'How about we set a time - or place in the story - to stop' Doesn't have to be now, but could be....)

I'm ready to continue but would prefer to come back and carry on tomorrow morning (if you'll pardon the expression!)

Getting very blurry here. 2 days of over indulgence catching up...I suggest wait until 9a.m in the morning... we could work on a few verses over night maybe.

I was thinking it's easier to stop here now we've paused - and 9am is fine.
Mind you, I was just getting into the swing of it!

See you in the morning? Any one disagree?

LOVE it so far. See you in the morning!!

I'm up for it in theory, although 9am might be pushing it! Also I am expecting DS1 & P plus dgc at some point, although Gawd knows when.

So, for tonight Cinders does rest,
Tomorrow we will wake refreshhed
After sleep we will feel perky
And be just so sick of turkey

HahaHa! Just come back from family gathering and things have moved on at quite a pace - I have no idea where my panto rap is going to fit in, nor am I bothered - let's just go with the flow and I'll shove it in where it looks like it might fit (this is the champagne talking). Laters girls!!!

And so, for now, they all have gone
Tomorrow again we'll carry on,
And Cinders' tale it will be told,
By those Grans, so wise and young!

(again, I'm having trouble with my rhymes!)

(Buttons now is due to bear
the message to his Cinders dear.....)

Good morning Cinders! Why are you looking so glum? I've got some news for you............

(The cat is tired of being ignored. It rubs up against Buttons, putting hairs on hsi uniform...and grabs the invitation card and scoots off!)

(Stepmum - from the wings)

Although her father's daft and doting
For Cinderella I ain't voting.
I am no nasty bad stepmother
But oooooh that girl I'd gladly smother!!

Button: 'Mangy cat - that was an invitation from the Palace, Cinders - looks like your Ugly Stepsisters might get married off with a bit of luck'

(cat - from the wings)
Feeeed meeee!

Stepmum
Cannot stand that mangy mog!
Someone stuff it down the bog!

Stepmum
Cannot stand that mangy mog!
Someone stuff it down the bog!

(See - that wasn't a mistake - I really really don't like it!)

(the cat gallops through, holding the invitation, with several people after it)

(including the three Sisters)

Stepmum

Hand over the invitation, Cat
Cos Cinders has no right to that!

Feeeed meeee!
