This document summarizes a play called "Little Red Riding Hood" performed in English for inhabitants of a village. It describes Little Red Riding Hood bringing a basket of treats to her ill grandmother, but meeting a wolf in the forest who tricks her by eating the grandmother and disguising himself. Little Red Riding Hood arrives and is also eaten by the wolf. A woodsman discovers the wolf and forces him to return the grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood unharmed. The play teaches children not to talk to strangers or stray from their path in the forest.
2. ADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN
THE COUNTRY
Living in the country has a lot of advantages.
Inhabitants of countries have a lot of space and
places to walking. They can live peacefully
without noise and stress. Living in the country is
cheaper and more comfortable as well. But
everything has disadvantages. In the villages we
have limited approach to culture. Theatres and
cinemas are in the cities, so if we want to see a
play or a movie, we’ll go there. So we seldom
do it.
3. OUR IDEA
After conversations with students from our school
and inhabitants of our village we have seen that
so many of them don’t go to the theatre and
don’t like it. We observed that older inhabitants
of our village don’t know English. We have
thought we can prepare a play in English. We
have chosen ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, because
we wanted to show something interesting for
everyone.
4. One of us has written a screenplay.
This is our play.
‘Little Red Riding Hood’
5. Once upon a time there was a little girl. She lived in a village near the forest.
Everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood, because she had a beautiful
red hood. One day her mum asked her to visit her ill grandma.
6. Mum: Your grandma is very ill, daughter. Take this basket and visit her. In the basket
you’ve got: a delicious cake which I’ve baked, some fruits and some treats. She will
be happier if she sees you.
Little Red Riding Hood: Ok, mum.
7. Mum: Go through a good path. Don’t stop and don’t chat to strangers!
Little Red Riding Hood: Don’t worry, mum. I will go straight to grandma, I won’t stop
and I won’t chat to anybody. I will take care of myself! I promise! Bye, mum!
8. The girl was going through the forest and soon she forgot about her mum’s warning.
She stopped on the glade, because she saw beautiful flowers. She thought that
she could pick them for her grandma.
9. Little Red Riding Hood: What a beautiful day! Birds are tweeting and flowers are
blooming! I will pick these flowers for my grandma. She will be glad!
She is picking flowers.
11. Wolf: Welcome, Little Red Riding Hood! What are you doing here? You’re the
little girl. You shouldn’t go through the forest alone!
Little Red Riding Hood: I’m going to my grandma. She is very ill. I’m carrying the
basket with treats for her.
12. Wolf: Where does your grandma live?
Little Red Riding Hood: My grandma lives in the dark forest in a little house.
Wolf: Does she live alone?
Little Red Riding Hood: Yes, she does. And she never opens strangers.
13. Wolf: Don’t hurry up with picking flowers! I have to go! Goodbye, Little Red Riding
Hood!
14. Wolf: She is picking flowers, so I can go to grandma’s house. First I will eat her and
then I will eat her granddaughter. It’s a perfect plan!
15. The Red Riding Hood is still picking flowers for her grandma. Meanwhile the wolf
is knocking on grandma’s door. Will grandma open it?
16. Grandma: Who is there?
Wolf (with changed voice): It’s me, grandma! Little Red Riding Hood! You’re ill, so
I decided to visit you. I have some treats from mum!
17. Grandma: You’re voice is a little bit strange.
Wolf: I have a cold and a hoarseness.
Grandma: I’m not seeing you. Come on to the window!
Little Red Riding Hood: Unfortunately, I can’t. I’ve hurt my leg in the forest!
18. The Wolf is coming in and then he is eating grandma!
19. After a few minutes Red Riding Hood is arriving at the place. She is knocking on the
door.
20. Little Red Riding Hood: It’s me grandma! Little Red Riding Hood!
Wolf: Come in, honey!
21. Little Red Riding Hood : What a darkness! Maybe I will turn the lights on?
Wolf: No! My eyes are aching me.
Little Red Riding Hood: Why is your voice so strange, grandma? Why are you speaking through
your nose?
Wolf: Because the bee has stung me.
22. Little Red Riding Hood: Why have you got such big eyes?
Wolf: To see you better.
Little Red Riding Hood: Why have you got such big ears?
Wolf: Because I want to hear you better.
Little Red Riding Hood: Why have you got such big teeth?
Wolf: Because I want to eat you!
24. The woodsman is going trough the forest. He decides to visit the Red Riding Hood’s grandma
because she is his good friend. He is knocking on the door but grandma isn’t opening. He
realizes that door is open and he is coming inside the house. He notices that the wolf is
sleeping in the grandma’s bed! He is very surprised!
25.
26. Woodsmen: What’s going on? What are you doing here, wolf?
Wolf: Nothing, nothing.
Woodsmen: You’ve eaten the grandma and her granddaughter! Give them back or I’ll shoot you!
Wolf: Ok, ok. I will give them back! Don’t kill me!
27. Grandma: Thank you, dear friend, forester.
Little Red Riding Hood: We’re free now! And you, wolf, shame on you! Shame on you!
Woodsmen: Yes, that’s right! How dared you eat this innocence grandmother and the little
girl?!
Wolf: I was very hungry and curious how they taste. I promise that I will never eat any
humans!
28. We must follow the path, musn’t stop and never chat to strangers. And if we keep in
mind all this rules, everything will be alright and nothing bad won’t happen.
Remember this: the wolf, even when he seems to be nice and polite, he is still
the wolf.
