Monologues

MATILDA: And so they prepared themselves for the most dangerous feat that
had ever been performed. The great escapologist had to escape from the
cage, lean out, catch his wife with one hand, grab a fire extinguisher with
the other, and put out the flames on her specially designed dress within
twelve seconds, before they reached the dynamite and blew his wife’s head
off!

The trick started well. The moment the specially designed dress was set
alight the acrobat swung into the air. The crowd held their breath as she
hurled over the sharks and spiky objects – one second, two seconds – they
watched as the flames crept up the dress – three seconds, four seconds –
she began to reach out her arms towards the cage – five seconds, six
seconds – suddenly the padlocks pinged open and the huge chains fell away –
seven seconds, eight seconds – the door flung open and the escapologist
reached out one huge, muscled arm to catch his wife and the child – nine
seconds, ten seconds… eleven seconds—and he grabs her hand and, and, and
suddenly the flames are covered in foam before they can both be blown to
pieces.

ALICE: Should I or shouldn’t I? You know what they say: ”If you don’t
explore, you’ll never discover.” But my sister Mathilda always says “Look
before you leap”. Well, I’m looking and it looks pretty deep and dark and I
can’t see the bottom and maybe it goes all the way to the center of the
earth and I’ll be burnt to a crisp in the molten core like the bad
marshmallow we’ve all heard so much about! (Pause) Or not. (Pause) Ok, I
looked. Now it’s time to leap! (Alice jumps down the rabbit hole.)

QUEEN OF HEARTS: And just what do we have here, hmmmmm? SILENCE! We speak
the Queen’s English here, you nameless little whelp! Alice? That’s
impossible, everyone knows that Alice doesn’t live here anymore! YOUR way
home?? You’ll find MY way home or we’ll cut off your head! You’ll be who I
say you are and no one else, do you understand? Now, before you go
anywhere, you’ll have to beat me in Wonderland’s favorite pastime. My dear
young girl, croquet is SO nineteenth century. I want to play Simon Says!

BRUCE: Okay, look, alright, I stole the cake. And honestly I was really,
definitely, sort of almost thinking about owning up… maybe? But the thing
was I was having a lot of trouble with my belly. You see, the Trunchbull’s
cake was so good that I’d scoffed it down too quick and now it was
beginning to fight back.His belly rumbles.Ooops. See?Rumble. Bruce lets out
a truly enormous burp, but really, really enormous, it goes on for ever. It
hovers above him.It was the biggest burp I had ever done. It was the
biggest burp I had ever heard, the biggest burp I had ever heard about. It
was like the entire world went silent for that burp to exist, as a huge
cloud of chocolaty gas wafted from my mouth and drifted… across the class…It
drifts across the class.Past Lavender… Past Alice… Past Matilda…Drifts past
Matilda…and then, my great big beautiful chocolaty burp, which now seemed
to have a mind of its own, wafted full into the face of the Trunchbull.

THE WHITE RABBIT: OH dear, dear, dear! I’m late! Mary Anne, Mary Anne,
hurry, I can’t find my gloves—Mary Anne, Ginger, Gilligan, I don’t care
what your name is., don’t argue with me. You’re making me later than I
already am. Hurry, hurry my gloves, somewhere in my house, I’M LATE!!!
