(NOTE: I'll put this in stories, I guess. I think that fits it best...? Anyhow. This is a short play I wrote for an assignment in my Intro to Theatre class, in which we had to perform a short play about a classic story in the style of an ancient Greek tragedy. Basically, my idea was to create a retelling of Cinderella in which she was actually absolutely insane. My group had a lot of fun performing this! But, anyway. You don't need my life story. Here it is ![]() SCENE 1: (Cinderella and family enter) Stepmother: Cinderella! Wash the floors! Stepsister 1: And make me breakfast! Stepsister 2: And if you could stop leaving birdseed on the windowsills and cheese blanketing the floors, that would be great! (rolls eyes) (leave Cinderella to cleaning) Chorus: Cinderella mopped the floors Cleaned the dishes, dusted the drawers Stuck as a servant in her very own house, Her only friends being, a bird and a mouse SCENE 2: Cinderella: (to thin air) Hello my little friend! (Pretends to pat mouse on the head) Stepmother: Cinderella, who are you talking to?! Cinderella: (looking after something imaginary) WAIT! Oh, stepmother! You’ve scared Gus-Gus! And he is ever so shy to begin with…! (continues blabbering on in the background as other actors come forward) Stepsister 2: There goes that Cinderella, at it again! Stepsister 1: (shaking head) Do you think she knows there’s nothing there? Stepmother: (whispering) Now girls, don’t be rude. If that lunatic wants to be friends with imaginary mice, that’s her business! Stepsister 1: Just as long as she keeps cleaning the house! The floors need waxing! Stepmother: I’m just glad we can make her feel useful, poor crazy girl. Stepsister 2: Well, there’s no way she could leave the house! Her hallucinations would ruin us! (opens a door) Chorus: Into the house a herald then came And he had the best of news to proclaim! SCENE 3: Herald: THE PRINCE IS GIVING A BALL! AND EVERYONE’S INVITED! (Stepsisters start fangirling and shrieking with obnoxious, over-done enthusiasm. Cinderella approaches.) Cinderella: OH! A ball! I would love to come to the ball! (to shoulder.) Wouldn’t you Melody? Herald (confused): Um, Miss who are you talking to? Cinderella: Why, Melody the bird, of course! She simply adores-(stepmother covers her mouth with her hand and shoves her aside)Mmmmmrf! Stepmother: Ahaha… Oh, Cinderella! Isn’t she adorable? (pinches cheeks) I’ll just RSVP now, shall I? How about you tell the king he can expect three in attendance from our house, hmm? Herald: (suspiciously) Alrighty then. Good evening to you ma’am… Girls. Everyone: GOODBYE! (overly cheery, almost as if hiding something) (Stepmother slams the door) Stepsister 1: (counting on her fingers) 1…2… Mother, aren’t you coming to the ball? Stepmother: Why, of course dear! Stepsister 1: But you only said three! Stepmother: Well, Cinderella couldn’t possibly attend. She hasn’t finished with all of her chores! Oh, and Cinderella, you wouldn’t mind if Drizella wore your dress, would you? Cinderella: OF COURSE I CARE! I want to go to the ball too! Please, stepmother! Stepmother: Greedy, insolent little brat! I’m afraid this is not up to debate. We’re taking your dress now. The house had better be spotless when we return or no dinner for a week! Goodbye! (Stepmother and stepsisters leave, sisters sticking their tongues out.) Chorus: So off to the ball, the stepsisters went, And surely poor Cindy would miss the event. Cinderella: (crying) Oh Gus-Gus, Melody, what shall I do?! They’re so evil! Now I’ll never go to the ball! SCENE 4: (Farmer enters) Farmer: Howdy. Cinderella: (Sniffles) Hello. Farmer: Wanted to go to the ball then, eh? That’s tough. Cinderella: Uh huh. (brightening) Are you my fairy godmother?! Farmer: Actually, I’m your neighbor, Old MacDonald but - Cinderella: Oh, thank goodness you’re here, fairy godmother! I need a new dress to go to the ball! Farmer: Well what am I supposed to do about that, lass? Wrinkle me nose, say ‘bippidi boppidi boo’ and make it appear from nowhere?! Cinderella: (eagerly) Yes please! That would be wonderful, fairy godmother! Farmer: (irritated) I told you, the name’s Old Mac - Cinderella: Well, go on! Make me a magic dress! Farmer: (exasperated) The girl’s insane, y’all! (getting an idea) Uh, I mean, yeah, sure, whatever. I’ll make ya a dress. But you’ll leave then, right? Cinderella: Well of course! I have to go to the ball, silly! (giggles) Farmer: Okay, sure, whatever. Bippidi boppidi… boppidi… boppidi… Eieio! (with zero enthusiasm/ can’t remember spell) (Cinderella looks exactly the same) Cinderella: Did it work?! Farmer: (hands her a silver plate to see her reflection) Cinderella: OMG! I’M GORGEOUS! (runs happily offstage) Farmer: Yeah, whatever. Lunatic. (Under breath) Chorus: So off to the ball Cinderella did run Off to go dance, meet the prince and have fun! But unbeknownst Cindy despite her request She was still wearing the same servant’s dress When Cinderella finally arrived The confused and annoyed handsome Prince met her eyes He wanted this peasant run out of his ball But insane Cinderella thought she had it all SCENE 5: Cinderella: I can see it in his eyes; he loves me! (flirty wave) Prince: (scoffs) Ew, gross. A servant girl! Cinderella: I LOVE YOU TOO! (runs up and hugs the prince who stands there awkwardly in utter disgust.) Prince: Eww! Guards! I’ve got peasant all over me! Remove this hideous girl at once! (Guard 1 removes Cinderella and begins carting her off.) Guard 1: Oh! Hey, look! COOKIES! I didn’t want to spend the ball guarding some girl anyway. (pats Cindy on the head) Be good. (guard heads off to investigate) Cinderella: Oh, my royal subjects! Aren’t they sweet?! (Guard 2 approaches) Cinderella: Oh, look! Another one! Hello! Guard 2: Er, hi? Do I know you? Cinderella: I’m the newly chosen princess. I was just being escorted to my new chambers in the castle when the guard had to go do something. Guard 2: (who’s really dumb) You’re the princess? Well then, (bows deeply) How may I be of service your honour? Cinderella: Kill them. Kill them all. (black) SCENE 6: Cinderella: (sipping tea) Oh! Isn’t this such a wonderful ball?! (zoom out to show everyone lying dead) Guard 1: Hey! What have you done you crazy, crazy witch?! (screen goes black, scream, and then Cinderella is dead too) End Chorus: Poor insane Cinderella found her way to the ball But her heart was broken and she killed them all But we all know murder will never prevail And in the end Cindy too passed through the veil. ![]() SCENE 1: (Cinderella and family enter) Stepmother: Cinderella! Wash the floors! Stepsister 1: And make me breakfast! Stepsister 2: And if you could stop leaving birdseed on the windowsills and cheese blanketing the floors, that would be great!

Were there wax for floors in ancient Greek? That aside, great story /play. I still want to hear what the teacher had said about this! (That was a joke. But if you reply, that's great!)

steel_attacker : Haha, I don't think there were waxed floors, but we were just supposed to have like the Chorus-Story-Chorus and no violence on stage, and sad ending type of format. Valid point, though. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Mr. Zed : Thanks! Yeah, it was a lot of fun! We had to wear masks like they did in Greek theatre and everything! The chorus was interesting, because we all had to speak in unison, but yeah, we all just went sort of crazy with it on-screen and off. ![]() ![]() |
