THE SYNOPSIS Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived on the village near the forest. She always wore a red cloak so everyone on her village called her Little Red Riding Hood. One day, her grandmother is sick so she have to visit her, but unfortunately, her sister couldn’t accompany her so she had to go on her own. Her mother and reminded her to go straight to her grandma’s house, instead she just wandered around the forest to look at beautiful butterfly and she picked some lovely flowers, she enjoyed her summer day at the middle of a forest so much that she didn’t notice a big bad wolf approaching behind her. The Wolf saw Little Red and greet her, she asked for direction but the Wolf gave her the wrong direction. The wolf arrived at grandma’s house before Little Red did, The Wolf knocked at the door, and Little Red’s grandma thought that the knock was from her granddaughter. Before she had a chance to say anything, the Wolf just hit her until she passed out. The Wolf looked around her wardrobe to find Grandma’s clothes, The Wolf planned to disguise as the Grandma so he could eat Little Red. A few minutes later, Little Red arrived at Grandma’s house and she found her “Grandma” laying on her bed, she looked at her and she could barely recognize her grandmother her grandma didn’t have big eyes, pointy ears and big sharp teeth. The Wolf leaped at Little Red and almost too late, she realized that it wasn’t her grandma but it is a big bad wolf. Little Red ran to outside of her Grandma’s house to cry for help, the woodsman heard her cry and immediately ran to the cottage. The woodsman kills The Wolf to find that the Grandma was still alive and safe in one piece. The woodsman carried the wolf far away so that he couldn’t bother the villagers. Little Red and Grandma had a nice lunch together.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD SCRIPT SCENE 1: Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who lived in a forest with her dear mother, and there was nothing that she would not have given to the child. Once she gave her a little cap of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else. So she was always called Little Red Riding Hood by the villagers. MOTHER
: "Come, Little Red Riding Hood.”
LITTLE RED
: “What’s the matter, Mommy?”
MOTHER
: “Your sister is a little bit ill.” (Little Red’s sister coughs)
LITTLE RED
: “Yes, I’m aware of that, Mommy”
LITLLE RED’S SISTER
: “I’m sorry that I can’t accompany you to Granny’s house.”
LITTLE RED
: “It’s okay, Big Sis, Please take care and don’t force yourself to do chores” (Little Red’s Mother brought a soup for her sister)
LITTLE RED’S SISTER: “Yesterday, I’ve baked a bread and gravy soup for Granny, so you ca bring it to Granny’s house and eat it there.” LITTLE RED
: “Yeah, I’m sure that she’ll love it. You’re so good at cooking.”
LITTLE RED’S SISTER
: “Aw, thanks.” (Little Red’s mother takes the bread and soup and puts it in the basket)
MOTHER
: “So, here is a baked bread and a bottle of wine. Take them to your grandmother, she is ill and weak, and they will do her good. Set out before it gets hot, and when you are going, walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path and… remember, do not dawdle along the way and
please don't talk to strangers! The woods are dangerous.” LITTLE RED’S SISTER
: “Please be careful, the forest are full of wild animals.”
LITTLE RED
: “Come, on.. You are exaggerating, they’re not that bad.”
LITTLE RED’S SISTER
: “Not all of them, but some of them, and you’re still have to be careful, I already taught you a on this.”
LITTLE RED
: “I will take great care, don’t worry."
Said Little Red Riding Hood to her mother and big sister, and gave her hand on it. On her way to Grandma’s house, Little Red was getting a little tired, so she decided to take a break. LITTLE RED
: “Oh! What a lovely flowers, I want to take them to Grandma’s garden, and the butterflies in here are so pretty!”
She was distracted by the warm sun glow at the woods, therefore she didn’t notice a dark shadow approaching out of the forest behind her. [The Wolf comes towards Little Red Riding Hood] THE WOLF
: “ Oh, Hi Little Red! What are you doing here in the middle of forest?”
LITTLE RED
: “Good Afternoon Mr.Wolf! I’m just on my way to Grandma’s house!”
THE WOLF
: (Inside the Wolf’s head) “Aha! I’ve just found the perfect victims, lucky for me, I’m little bit hungry at the moment:”
LITTLE RED
: “But, I haven’t seen her in a while, so I forgot the direction..”
THE WOLF
: “No worries, Little Red! I will tell you the directions, afterall ,I’ve been roaming around the forest for years.”
LITTLE RED
:”Oh, my! You’re such a big helper Mr. Wolf"
THE WOLF
:” First, you take a left turn on the front of that big tree an then you have to go straight, if you see the river it means that you’re close to her house.”
LITTLE RED
:”Thank you so much, Mr.Wolf.”
THE WOLF
:”Of course! Okay then, I got something to do real quick, I got to go. See ya later, Little Red.” (The Wolf quickly ran away)
LITTLE RED
:”He’s such a kind wolf..”
SCENE 2: Little did she knows, actually the Wolf gave her the wrong direction to the Grandma’s house, and the Wolf that she thought was a kind helpful wolf were just trying to trick her. [The Wolf comes to the hut. He knocks at the door] GRANDMA [from inside]
: “Who’s there?”
THE WOLF (Changing his voice)
: “It’s me! Little Red, I have come to bring dear Granny a pot of butter and a cake from mother, and to ask how you are.”
GRANDMA
: “Oh my, how I missed you. Come here, sweetie. Pull the door open.”
[The Wolf pulls the door open. The grandmother screams. The Wolf growls and makes her pass out. Then he shuts the door, hid Granny into hidden spots and puts on Granny’s night-cap, and, getting into bed, rolls himself well up in the blankets].
SCENE 3: THE WOLF (in a cackly voice)
: “W-who is it?”
LITTLE RED
:”It’s me, Granny.”
THE WOLF
:”Oh, come here, sweetie.”
LITTLE RED (muttering)
:”How bad is her cold? Her voice sounds so weird right now.”
THE WOLF
:”What are you doing right there? Come here and kiss me.” (Little Red takes of her red coat and sat beside her “Grandma”)
LITTLE RED
:”Gosh, you don’t look so good, Granny” (She pats her arm and hold it lovingly)
LITTLE RED (shockingly)
:“My, what a big arms you have, Granny!”
THE WOLF (chuckled)
: “The better to hug you with, my dear.”
LITTLE RED
:”But, Granny! What a big ears you’ve got!”
THE WOLF
:”The better to hear you, my dear.”
LITTLE RED
:”B-But, What a big teeth you’ve got!!”
THE WOLF
: “THE BETTER TO EAT YOU, MY DEAR!”
LITTLE RED
: (shrieks)
(Little Red quickly ran away avoiding The Wolf to the forest, she cries for help)
SCENE 4: LITTLE RED
: “HELP!!, THERE’S A WOLF INSIDE MY GRANDMA’S HOUSE!” (The Woodsman hears it and he quickly ran towards the sound)
THE WOODSMAN
: “Oh, God! Are you okay? Where’s the wolf?”
LITTLE RED
: “I-I think the wolf is still inside my grandma’s house, and I don’t know where my Granny is, I-I’m so scared..”
THE WOODSMAN
: “Shh… don’t worry, little girl, Your Granny will be safe and sound and I will take the wolf out of this area.”
(The Woodsman and Little Red ran towards Granny’s house and sees The Wolf at the garden) THE WOODSMAN
: “THERE YOU ARE!”
(The Woodsman grabbed the wolfs and kills him, hearing all of this noises, Grandma wakes up a little frazzled.) GRANDMA
:”Oh my, what just happened??”
LITTLE RED
:”GRANNY!! I was so scared… but I’m glad that you’re safe now.”
THE WOODSMAN
:”Now that my business is over, I will leave right now.”
LITTLE RED
: “Thank you so much! I don’t know what might have happened if you’re not here.”
GRANDMA
: “At least, to show you our gratitude, let’s eat lunch together. The world needs more people like you .You’re such a kind young man”
THE WOODSMAN
: “Oh My, Thank you”
(Little Red ,The Woodsman and Grandma have long chit-chat and lunch together) Little Red learned her lesson to not dawdle around the forest, she learned to not easily trust others although they may look kind and The Wolf is never seen around the forest.
