Play Script Idea

Play Idea from Bunnicula

HAROLD: “Good evening.”

THUNDER from outside.

NARRATOR: On the other hand, it’s not a very good evening, is it? Outside, that is. The wind and rain are rather ferocious. But here in the Monroe house it’s warm and safe. A good place to be on a night like this.

HAROLD steps forward. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Harold. My full-time occupation is dog. I live with Mr. and Mrs. Monroe, and their two sons, Pete and Toby.

CHESTER hacks slightly. He goes back to sleep.

HAROLD: Oh yes, our home is shared by a cat named Chester. Whom I am pleased to call my friend.

NARRATOR: Harold sits on a large beanbag chair. Although it’s a doggie bed, he sits in it like any human being. But this house is also occupied by another creature. Who appeared in our midst on a night much like this.

HAROLD: focuses on the wall.

THUNDER: It is heard as the storm intensifies.

CHESTER: blinks his eyes open and smirks at HAROLD’s concentration.

CHESTER: What are you doing?

HAROLD: Just obeying my orders. While the humans are gone.

CHESTER: They told you to stare at the wall?

HAROLD: They told me to watch the house.

CHESTER: They didn’t mean literally.

HAROLD: They didn’t?

CHESTER: Of course not. You’re just supposed to keep strangers out.

HAROLD How do I do that?

CHESTER: I don’t know. You’re the watchdog. Bark or something. 4

HAROLD: Oh. I get it.
HAROLD: “barks” at the door. Hey! Hey! Stay outta here!

CHESTER Not now. When you hear a noise.

HAROLD: Oh. He settles into the beanbag. Why can’t they be more precise?

CHESTER: You know the humans. They’re just trying to give us a sense of purpose. Like saying, “Be good, Chester.”

HAROLD: Or “Stay, Harold!”

CHESTER: Exactly. He freezes. Hold everything.

HAROLD: What’s wrong?

CHESTER: Flea in my ear. He scratches furiously. Got him!

HAROLD: You’re shedding again, you know.

CHESTER: So what?

HAROLD: Remember the last time you got cat hair on that chair?

CHESTER: sits up, disturbed by the memory.
CHESTER: The vacuum cleaner.

HAROLD: (to the audience) There’s nothing scarier.

CHESTER: Well, I say a little loose hair is a small price to pay for the privilege of owning a cat.

HAROLD: They say some humans don’t even like animals.

CHESTER: You’re right, Harold. Statistics show that many families will never know the pride and joy of owning a pet.
