[Snow white sitting by the window in her wooden house and is on the phone to Cinderella who is laying on her bed in her gigantic room. They both hear a loud thud]
SW: Oh good gracious.
C: What was that? What happened?
SW: Its just grumpy hurling himself at the wall again. Honestly you’d think living with seven little guys would be easy but they’re just as mad as seven normal men.
C: Well that depends on what you define as normal.
SW: Oh some off it Cindz. I’d give anything to live with a handsome husband like yours.
C: Snowy believe me, there’s nothing charming about my prince.
SW: Cindz, you were always one to complain weren’t you. I see marriage hasn’t changed you
[She smiles to herself]
C: Shut it you.
SW: Did you hear about that little red riding hood. Heard she’s been to see her grandmother again.
C: Bless her. She’s just trying to help her grandmother feel better.
SW: That little wretch. Nearly got eaten alive last time. Thinks she’s invincible.
Its ‘coz she’s been hanging round with that little miss ‘my hairs longer and better than yours’. You know that little Rapunzel.
C: You’ve got to hand it to her though. She’s gorgeous.
SW: No wonder your step sisters hate her. Jealous cows. Don’t know what they’re jealous about though, they’re gorgeous themselves right Cindz?
[She chuckles]
C: Snowy you really need to stop bitching about other people. You wouldn’t like it if someone bitched about you.
SW: Oh please everyone loves me. Who’s gonna bad mouth me? You? Haha don’t think so.
C: Why don’t you just go and eat some red apples you greedy pig.
SW: [She takes a deep breath]
Cindz… I cant believe you’d go that far. You know im still traumatised.
C: Take a chill pill babes you know I was just messing. ( She says mimicking snow whites voice)
[There’s a loud knock at SW’s door]
SW: Well I’d love to chat and gossip [she says sarcastically] but your husbands at my door. Got to go and teach him everything you cant. [ She cackles and hastily hangs up]
Hi Yaz
ReplyDeleteReally liked the humour and the bitchy sideswiping in this. It is believable, just the sort of converstion I could imagine these two having.
To make it stronger, as it's a phone conversation, you could present it as a radio play, and just go with the dialogue and sound effects. There could be some really interesting 'offstage' dialogue and sound effects with the dwarve making a noise in the next room. They could even be disturbing Snow White whilst she is on the phone to Cinders.
You could also develop the bitchy nastiness in regard to Rapunzel. Both of them could hate her!
And I like the sneaky asides about the apple and Snow White's trauma because of this.
Hope this helps!
Best wishes
