Deadline: Monday 21st July 5pm.

Toymaker

Please perform the below monologue in a slight German accent.

Quick! Get those children inside before the child catcher gets here. Now get inside, please don’t argue, he’s coming!

[He shuts the window and sighs a breath of relief]

Sir, Madam, I don’t know who you are or what you’re doing here but take my advice and get out of Vulgaria!

[They ask to be taken to the castle]

I can’t take you to the castle I’m afraid, If I don’t finish this toy for the Baron’s birthday tomorrow he’ll have me shot!

[softening]

Oh no, you can’t go by yourself - look, there is a secret way just past the hidden children. We had to hide them in the sewer under the castle. Truly, you stay here with Jeremy and Jemima, you’ll be safe as long as you keep inside my shop. Quick we must go now!

Truly

Please perform the below monologue in a RP accent.

[Truly enters on a motorbike that is out of control – she is screaming] Ahhhh! The throttle! The throttle – it’s stuck!

[Mr. Potts races after her and turns off the engine – Truly is less than grateful]

Look what you’ve done to my motorbike. I may never get it started now.

[Potts suggests what is wrong]

Indeed, an adjustment to the butterfly valve? Nonsense. I’m fairly certain that I need a new

choke pull spring.

[Jeremy and Jemima offer their father to fix the motorbike as he is an inventor]

Excuse me, but shouldn’t you be in school? [pause for answer]

A holiday, you say, and what holiday might that be? [pause for answer]

Eastmas? Halfway between Easter and Christmas? Now I’m certain you children should be in school.

Baroness

I know a little Baron who has a chu-chi-woo-chi birthday coming up! Yes, I mean you, the

ruler supreme of all Vulgaria! Now, vhat shall I give my little bombi-oo-chi-wootchi?

You vant the car that defeated us in the Grand Prix – THREE times? But that was years ago!

Well, if you vant it that badly, then you must have it my little teddy bear.

[picks up the phone and dials]

Is this Boris, the spy? [pause] Password? The password is, I vill have you hung upside down

by your pinkie toes unless you speak to me now. That’s better – ve vant the car that won

the Grand Prix.

Yes, it did crash and burn, but now it’s in England at a place called Coggins Garage. I vant

that car brought to Vulgaria in time for the Baron’s birthday celebration. Find it – or else!

Childcatcher

Please perform the below monologue.

[Entering toy shop and speaking, indirectly as he looks around, to the toymaker.]

There are children here. I can smell them.

My nose is never wrong. I can smell their blood and when I find them you will have made

your last toy.

[pretending to give up so he can catch them by surprise]

My nose must have been mistaken. There are no children here.

[re-enters and tries to lure the children out of hiding with treats]

Lollipops, cherry pie, cream puffs, ice cream! All free!

Treacle tarts - all for free!

Come along kiddie-winkies!

[traps the children in his wagon]

Hah! Gotcha!

Monologue:

It’s the phone! The spy phone! Hello, this is us…is this you? Yes, this is Boris the spy - I mean - what's the password?

[The Baroness threatens him]

That works! How can I help you? You vant the car? The one that wins the Grand Prix- but it crashed and burned; nobody knows what happened to it!

[She abruptly hangs up]

All ve need to do now is purchase that car. Ve should vait until the sun rises. The British are very particular about protocol.
