Title of Play: What’s the pointe?
Biography (50 words) I am currently
studying for a Diploma for Musical Theatre at Worthing College. I have been
dancing at a dance school from the tender age of 2 and half. As part of my
college course we are currently working towards our musical ‘Cats’ for which I
am playing the role of ‘Munkustrap’. I am also studying A Level dance where I
have created a solo dance based upon the professional work ‘Cry’ by Alvin
Ailey. I am currently auditioning for places at universities and drama schools
to study Higher Education in Musical Theatre come September.
Synopsis of your play (50 words) following
the different stories of people within a dance school. 3 groups of people going
through struggles and facing big decisions to make that could essentially
affect their whole life choices and future. Will Danielle audition? Will Emma
Carry on? Will Megan leave?
What have you got out of New Views so
far? I feel that I have experienced a different way of learning and exploring
creativity. I chose this topic as I have grown up training at a dance school
for over 15 years and I felt I was able to write and create a script based on
situations I have witnessed over the years.
How would you like to develop your play
to be a full 30-minute script? I would like to create an interesting story line
with good detailed and thought out plots.
Scene 1
At a dance school, 2 friends (17 & 18 yrs. old)
Alice and Danielle sitting in a changing room.
Mother and Daughter (11 year old daughter and 36 year
old mum) Sharon (Mum) Emma (Daughter) talking with the dance teacher
Girl waiting in the waiting room ready to teach, Megan
(23 years old)
Alice: 3 weeks until our audition Danni! I am so
excited
Danielle: I know I cannot wait. This party tomorrow
night is the last time I'm drinking until after the audition
Alice: yeah me too, alcohol isn't good for your voice
so 3 weeks of no alcohol will be fine I'm sure we can cope (Laughing
together)
Danielle: It's crazy though isn't it, us growing up.
We have been going to this dance school since we were 3 years old and we could potentially
be leaving this place to go off to drama school.
Alice: I know its crazy, God what is Miss Jenkins
going to do without us! Losing 2 seniors might as well kill her now!
Danielle: Bless her
(Lights go down on changing room section of the stage
and then go up on Mother and daughter - Sharon and Emma talking to Miss
Jenkins)
Sharon: Okay so I want to push Emma to do as much as
she can through the dance school and do all the classes she can plus all festivals
and competitions and do as much as possible
Miss J: Okay, well make sure you don't tire her out
she's 12 years old and she needs to still focus on school work, its good you
have a passion for what your daughter enjoys doing but you need to think about
the strain on Emma. How do you feel about all this Emma…?
(Emma goes to speak)
Sharon: She's fine, she can do it all
Miss J: if you say so, but please don't tire the poor
girl out and make sure she has time for her studies
Sharon: I want my daughter to be a star and she is going
to be a star one day so I need to make sure she does as much as possible to get
better and better, don't you think that’s right that she does all these extra
classes and performances?
Miss J: Yes to an extent but she needs time to play as
well as work
Sharon: This is play, she loves it. I pay for it all
she should love it.
Emma: Can I say something…
Miss J: What’s that Emma?
Emma: I am quite tired already I don't want to do too
much more
Sharon: She doesn't know what she's talking about! You
need to do all this flower to get better; you want to be a star don't you?
Emma: I guess so
Sharon: Yes mother I do want to be a star. For
goodness sake stop slouching and stand up, no one wants to hire a hunchback now
come on you've got your private dance lesson in a bit and you need to get ready.
Thank you for this Talk Miss Jenkins
Miss Jenkins: You're welcome…I guess
(Lights down on them and up on Megan in the waiting
room, she's sitting on her phone)
Danielle: Alright Meg!
Megan: Oh hiya Danielle, how you doing today?
Danielle: Not too bad thank you, I'm
looking forward to your lesson we always can't wait for your Thursday
lessons you work us so hard and help us so much and it’s always so much fun!
Megan: Aw thanks Danni that’s really lovely, but
between me and you I 'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be staying here…
Danielle: What?! Do you mean you are leaving?!
Megan: Possibly, I've been offered a job abroad
Danielle: Wow that’s amazing! But such a massive thing
to go and do! You've got a boyfriend haven't you?
Megan: Yeah Phil we've been together for 2 years now
Danielle: Wow, you guys are seriously perfect for each
other though, how long will it be that you are away for?
Megan: 6 months…
Danielle: 6 months?! Jeeez! How does Phil feel?
Megan: I haven't told him yet because I don't know
what to do
Danielle: Come on talk to Danni
Megan: It's just my life is here and he is the love of
my life! But 6 months away from each other is such a long time that I don't
think that he would be able to deal with being away from me that long, but this
is a once in a lifetime opportunity! I've heard he might propose to me soon
which I would say yes to but 6 months which could possibly roll to a year is
way too long to be away from him. Ugh I don't what to do
Danielle: Well you obviously love him, and you are
thinking of more reasons not to go than to go…
Megan: That’s true, but if we truly love each other 6
months apart shouldn't jeprodise our relationship surely? He should be happy
and proud of me?
Danielle: I know but you are going to be in a foreign
country and away from him like that’s a hard thing to do!
Megan: I don't know what to do; this is a life
changing thing to happen to me
Danielle: But how will Phil see this? He loves the
bones of you, you are his world and 6 months will really take its toll on him.
Megan: I just need to think about it more. Thanks for
this chat Danielle. Now go get your kit on and I'll see you in there we are
starting in 10 minutes.
Lights go down on the stage
Scene 2: Dance lesson with Emma and Megan and Sharon
Megan: Hi Emma sweet, sorry
I’m 5 minutes late! Alice and Danni wouldn’t stop chatting away to me at the end
of my last lesson!
Emma: That’s okay
Megan: You know what they
are like they chat for England! So how are you feeling? Your exam is in 3 weeks,
you feeling okay about it?
Emma: I think so
Sharon: Not ‘I think so’
Emma, you are most definitely ready for this exam.
Awkward silence between the three of them
Megan: Okay well I’ll tell
you what Emma we will go through your solo dance for the festival instead today
yes?
Emma: Okay thank you Megan.
Megan puts on music to ‘wherever you will go’ and Emma starts to dance a
contemporary dance routine and part way through falls over and her knees give
way
Megan: What happened there? Are
you okay?
Emma: yeah I don’t know I
just felt really dizzy.
Sharon: (sharply) Pick yourself up then Emma and do it again
Megan: Do you want to try
again Em?
Emma: Okay yes please
Megan: Be careful this time
Megan puts the music on again and Emma starts again still stumbling and
again comes crushing down as her body gives way
Megan: Seriously Emma are
you okay? You don’t look well at all; take a breather for a minute.
Sharon: Excuse me; I am
paying for this private lesson for her to dance and not for her to be sitting
around?
Megan: Sharon, Emma looks
like she is going to pass out she needs some water and some food for a minute
to catch her breath and get her energy up, she looks absolutely exhausted.
Sharon: I’m sure she is fine
and just wants the attention.
Emma: No mum I just don’t
feel that great.
Megan: Have you got any food
on you?
Sharon: I’m not sure I’ll
have a look (Looks through Emma’s bag) Oh
Emma you didn’t eat your lunch today? Why is that?
Emma: I wasn’t hungry.
Sorry.
Megan: Tell you what, take 5
Emma and go out to the changing rooms and have your sandwich and a glass of
water, you know what Miss Jenkins is like about eating food in the studio.
Emma nods and walks out of the studio (walks down stage left as if out of
the room and throws away her sandwich)
Megan waits until Emma is out of the room and speaks to Sharon.
Megan: I am concerned about
Emma, Sharon
Sharon: Why?
Megan: Did you not just see
how she was then? The poor girl is exhausted, and no wonders because she hasn’t
eaten all day.
Sharon: Well that’s not my
fault?
Megan: No, I never said it
was. But that’s not the first time I’ve known her to come to dance without
eating for the day. She is getting very thin Sharon and I’m worried about her.
Sharon: She’s losing weight
because she is working hard.
Megan: Yes she is losing
weight because she working hard, and not eating at the same time. She’s got to
keep her energy up otherwise she will get worse and become extremely ill.
Sharon: Are you trying to
tell me that I am a bad mother and not feeding my child?
Megan: (sternly) No I am not! I am saying I think Emma may be getting ill.
I think you need to keep an eye on her and not push her so much and make sure
she is eating.
Sharon: Do not tell me what
to do.
Megan: I am just expressing my
concern for a pupil of mine and I want to address you as you are her mother. I
am not telling you that you are a bad parent I am just worried about her
health. She is 12 years old for crying out loud.
Sharon: I do know how old
she is I was there at the birth you know! I don’t need to listen to this. (Shouting) Come on Emma do your dance
again!
Emma comes back into the room.
Megan: Are you feeling a
little better now you’ve had something to eat?
Emma: Yes thank you. Right
let’s do it again
Megan: Okay
Megan puts the music on
Megan: 5, 6, 7, 8
Lights fade on Emma dancing
Party Scene: Scene 3
Danielle is talking to group of 2 girls and Alice
comes running up to Danielle
Alice: Danni! I've found you! Isn't this such a good party!
Danielle: Yeah it is good I’m enjoying myself.
Alice: How can you? You’re not drinking! Come on get
it down ya neck girl (Offers her bottle of vodka)
Danielle: I'm not feeling alcohol; I’ve got a bit of a
headache. But I’m still having a good time I don't need alcohol to have a good
time
Alice: Come on! Live a bit! Please I love drunk Danni!
Danielle: Fine I will have a bit!
Alice: That’s the spirit girl! Ha spirit, we are
drinking spirit! (Taken back) Wow I
really am drunk
Danielle: Maybe having a few won't be a bad idea I
want to talk to that guy over there
Alice: Who who who?!
Danielle: Tom… I literally fancy him so much
Alice: Omg look he's giving you the eyes! Get in their
Dan
Danielle: Jeez I’m just so nervous. Ok give me the
bottle please (Takes big swig of drink)
Alice: Okay take it easy Danni
Danielle: It will calm my nerves
Alice: Okay come to the toilet with me then we will
powder our nose and top up our lipstick
Danielle and Alice walk to go off to the toilet and
pass Megan with Phil talking
Phil: It's a good party isn't it?
Megan: Yeah it is good
Phil: You look beautiful by the way
Megan: Awh thank you honey (They kiss)
Phil: There is something chewing you, what’s wrong?
Megan: Just a lot going on at the school like pushy
mums and what not just had a long week
Phil: Yeah I get you, its such a hands on job I admire
your dedication to it though Meg
Megan: You're so lovely and understanding. Thank you.
Phil: Of course well I support you 100% with
everything so anything you want to talk about I will be there
Megan: Thank you
Phil: Are you sure that’s all there is to it?
Megan: Well there is something else that has cropped
up
Phil: What’s that?
Megan: Well I’ve been offered a job
Phil: That’s amazing! Where is it?
Megan: That’s the thing… I would be away for 6 month
abroad teaching.
Phil stays silent
Megan: Please say something
Phil: are you going to do it?
Megan: I don't know its 6 months, but then this is
such a big opportunity
Phil: What about us?
Megan: I know that’s the thing I don't want to be away
from you for that long
Phil: You know I support you in everything you do, but
I’m not sure if I can with this
Megan: But you just said that you support me 100% with
everything I do?
Phil: I know but not this
Megan: Why not?
Phil: Because its 6 months Meg, I love you and I can't
be without you for 6 months. Do you know what I was planning on doing?
Megan: You know I love you too but please don't guilt
trip me. And what were you planning?
Phil: I am not guilt tripping you! Ugh you know what
forget it!
Megan: No tell me, I knew you would be upset about
this but I thought you would at least be supportive. I haven't even made a
decision, but looking at the way you have reacted has given me a better idea of
what I'm thinking of doing.
Phil: I just can't let you leave, Meg you are my world
and you belong in it and I can't let you leave me for 6 months have you thought
of what it will do to me? And what do you mean?
Megan: You are being so selfish. I just wanted you to
be at least happy for me and then we could be adults and talk about it properly
and see what happens from there but the way you are reacting makes me want to
go if you are going to be like that.
Phil: Fine you go then, leave me and I won't propose
to you Megan...
Megan: (Shocked) What?! You were going to
propose to me?
Phil: Yeah but it doesn't matter now because you are
leaving me for 6 months.
Megan: I don't know what to say
Phil: There is nothing to say. It seems you have already
made your decision. I don't know if we can do this anymore
Megan: Please don't do this here we will talk about it
more later please
Phil: I don't think anything you can say will make
this better because I know you want to go, See you later Meg.
Phil exits leaving Megan speechless
Lights back to Alice
and Danielle
Alice: Right there he is, go over there and talk to
him
Danielle: (Staggering
slightly) Okay I’m going. (Trips into
chair) Who put that there?
Alice: Stand up straight and take it easy. (To her self) God who’s stupid idea was
this to get her to talk to him. (Alice
then goes and talks to other people)
Danielle: Okay I can do this…(Goes up to Tom) Hey Tom
Tom: Oh hey Danielle, you ok?
Danielle: I am great thank you, how are you? Great
party isn’t it
Tom: I’m good; yeah it is a great party… So are you
here on your own?
Danielle: No I came with my friend Alice… but oh I
think she’s gone
Tom: Well looks like we are on our own together then,
my friends have ditched me. Say, I’m going home on my own tonight so if you
wanted to, you can come with me … You’re looking great tonight by the way
Danielle: Oh thank you, and sure that would be good
thank you. What so I can get a lift home?
Tom: No to stay with me…
Danielle: Sure okay… (Tom goes to kiss her)
Lights go down on the
stage.
At Sharon and
Emma’s house – Scene 4
At Sharon and Emma’s
house and Sharon is pushing Emma too far with her performing and Emma lets out
a little bit of how she feels but is still very contained.
Sharon: Emma come on its time to go to Ballet. Right have
you been practicing your pirouettes ready for today? I asked Miss Jenkins what
you were struggling with and she said pirouettes so I said I would make sure
you practice. Emma are you even listening to me?
Emma: Yes mum
Sharon: I don’t feel you respect me Emma. I do so much for
you and push you to do all these things and I don’t feel you appreciate what I
do.
Emma: I do mum
Sharon: You have an exam in 3 weeks and you need to be on
top form for it. I expect you to come out with a Distinction in it otherwise I
will be really disappointed in you.
Emma: The ballet exam is really difficult…RAD is the hardest
dance board so even a Merit would be really good. That’s what Miss Jenkins
said.
Sharon: I do not care what Miss Jenkins said. I want you to
come out with a Distinction. You bloody well should seeing how much money I pay
for your training!
Emma: Mum stop!
Sharon: Excuse me?
Emma: Just please lay off the pressure I…I’m finding it
difficult to keep up. I am always tired.
Sharon: I don’t want to talk about this. If you are tired go
to bed earlier, but all I am doing is make sure you have every experience
possible and be the star you want to be. I would have failed as a parent if you
don’t come out on top.
Emma: Let’s go to dance I can’t do this with you now.
Sharon: Good. Now your leotard is getting a bit big there
for you?
Emma: (brush off comment) No no its fine! Look at the time
you are right we will be late!
Scene 5
Megan and Phil are
talking on the phone. One half of the stage lit with Megan on the Phone, the
other half lit with Phil.
Megan: Hey you
Phil: Hi
Megan: Please talk to me. I haven’t seen you or spoken to
you for almost a week since the party. I need us to sort this.
Phil: You want to go and take the job, but I think it will
be too hard for us to not see each other for 6 months… do you not agree that is
a crazy amount of time?
Megan: Yes but if we truly love each other we can make it
work surely?
Phil: Yes of course I love you but what about the deposit
for our new home together what about that? We’ve spoken about our future and
plans and it’s on hold for 6 months where we aren’t even going to be together
for that time.
Megan: We’ll work it out?
Phil: I can’t cope without you for 6 months it’s too long.
So I am going to let you go so you can go off and do your thing. You know I’m
so proud of you just I wont be able to deal with it.
Megan: (Starting to
cry) Please Phil we can do this and work through it. Please don’t leave me.
Phil: I’m not leaving you; I’m letting you go Meg. You can
do what you have always wanted to do. Speak to you soon, I love you.
He hangs up leaving
Megan speechless.
Emma monologue –
Scene 6
Emma is looking in a mirror
holding her top up looking side on. She is becoming very ill from an eating
disorder.
Emma: What am I doing? I’m killing myself doing this. I am
working myself into the ground and not eating. Why Emma why? You stupid idiot.
I just wanted to lose a bit of weight but then I stopped eating and it got a
bit far. But then I thought well, maybe if I started getting thinner my mum
would see, and see that this entire dance thing is killing me and making me
ill. I can’t do it anymore I really can’t. I am hungry and have pains in my
stomach like no one has felt before. But then the thought of food makes me feel
ill. I have nibbles of food here and there. But I haven’t eaten a proper big
meal in…I don’t even know. My mum clearly doesn’t care about me because she
hasn’t even noticed. I heard what she was saying to Megan in that private
lesson. All she thinks about is her pride of being a ‘Good mother’ and having a
trophy daughter to show off and make me a ‘star’. Well she can forget it I am
not doing it anymore. I will do this ballet exam and that be it. I have made
myself ill because of the amount I am doing and to make a point to my mother
for her to see with her own eyes because she will not listen to my cries in
pain. Enough is enough now, its time to make my voice heard.
Scene 7
Its 1 day before Alice
and Danielle’s audition and Danielle is looking at a positive pregnancy test (3
weeks after the party)
Danielle: Shit. Oh shit. This can’t be right. This can’t be right it’s
got to be wrong. But then again how can two positive tests be wrong? I am sure
we were careful, but then again I was so drunk I can’t even remember what
happened. But what the hell do I do? I
have an audition tomorrow which would essentially be the start of my career and
the next step in my life but I can’t do it if I’m pregnant? But I could not
forgive myself if I was to get rid of the child. Because what happens if I get
rid of the baby and I don’t get in then I couldn’t live with myself. But then
again I am 17 almost 18 years old I can no way take on this responsibility.
Alice will just be like (Imitating)
‘How could you be so stupid to have gotten pregnant’ my mum, jeez my mum will
absolutely kill me. She will throw me out. I can’t tell Tom because it was a
one night thing and I can’t just go to him and be like ‘Oh hi yeah um you slept
with me at a party and you are now the father of my child’. I seriously don’t know what to do. I just
don’t have the mentality to end an innocent baby’s life because of my
stupidity. I will go to the audition and just see how I feel about it all
tomorrow. Tomorrow may influence my decision on the whole situation. Oh fucking
hell Danni.
Scene 8
Alice and Danielle are
waiting at the station for their train to go to their audition
Alice: I’m so nervous
Danielle: Same
Alice: But I’m excited as well
Danielle: yep
Alice: I’m totally gonna nail it I can feel it
Danielle: mmhhmm
Alice: What’s the matter with you?
Danielle: Nothing
Alice: is it because you’re nervous and you don’t want
to talk? Because I don’t want you to be like this all day you will just stress
me out
Danielle: just leave it yeah
Alice: no because this is a big day and if you go to
the audition like that you won’t get in take it from me, I know how it works.
Danielle: Its not that its just ugh you won't
understand
Alice: Okay whatever I have no time for you today if
you are going to be like that.
Oh my god look over there, that girl she's in our
year, do you remember her she dropped out of college and now she is pregnant,
you must be stupid to get pregnant at this age. 17 wow I couldn't do it. Such a
shame.
Danielle: Well you never know she could have done all
the right things and one of the little guys just swam and got through if you know
what I mean.
Alice: Still I wouldn't keep it. Like has she thought
about it finically? She is not going to have a life for the next 18 years
Danielle: Leave her alone will you; you don't know how
she feels or what she is going through
Alice: seriously what is wrong with you today?
Danielle: nothing just leave it out will you
Alice: well at least tell me what’s going as I said
it’s a big day for me, I mean us, I mean come on who is likely to get in me or
you… oh shit, sorry I didn’t mean it like that
Danielle: yes you did you have always thought that you’re
better than me and have always put me down I want to do well its just I have a
lot going on
Alice: I’m sorry it came our wrong I don’t know It’s
just your attitude right now I just don’t understand why you can’t just try and
be happy about this audition. This could change our lives. Oh look the train
should be here in 3 minutes
Danielle: I can't do it
Alice: What?
Danielle: I can't get on the train
Alice: oh come stop being a drama queen you will be
fine once you get in there just keep calm, take deep breaths and…
Danielle: … I’m Pregnant
Alice: I’m sorry what?
Danielle: I'm pregnant…knocked up… up the duff how
else would you like me to say it?
Alice: Yeah alright…just, are you sure?
Danielle: No I just said it for a laugh, yes I’m sure!
Alice: I can't believe it. Is that why you've been all
tense about today because you are pregnant?
Danielle: Yeah I just don't know what to do. Being on
stage is all I wanna do and going to drama is the start of my future, but I'm carrying
a child, like what do I even do? Do I get rid of it? But then if I do get rid
of it and go to the audition and don't get in anywhere then I have got rid of a
life, but if I do get in what the hell am I supposed to do? Alice please help
me
Alice: Okay one thing at a time babe. You are
pregnant. So who’s the father?!
Danielle: Seriously?
Alice: Okay yeah sorry, right tell me that one later
then. Well maybe if you go the audition today see how it goes and maybe the
decision of what happens with drama schools will make you come to a decision
about keeping the baby.
Danielle: I guess. I just want to go to drama school
so bad, but I wouldn't forgive myself for getting rid of it
Alice: Go to the audition today, see what happens and
see what the outcome is and maybe that will influence your decision rather than
decide right now
Danielle: It's just such a big decision Al
Alice: Danni I know, but you've got to do this
audition for you and see what the outcome is and maybe then it will influence
your decision.
Danielle: You know what, I can’t do this.
Alice: What do you mean?
Danielle: I just can’t get rid of it, so I am going to keep
it
Alice: You are going to keep it?! Do you understand the responsibility
of a child? You wouldn’t be able to cope.
Danielle: No I am not going to keep it for myself. I will
put the child up for adoption meaning a family can look after it with the care
that I wouldn’t be able to provide right now. I know it’s a big decision but I
thought about it all last night. I will just take a year out and re-apply for
drama schools the year after. I just couldn’t forgive myself if I was to have
this child now and not be able to look after it like I should and would want to
Alice: Well are you absolutely sure?
Danielle: Yes I really am. I've just got to tell my mum now.
Alice: It’s going to be hard you know giving up your child
to another family.
Danielle: I know
Alice: Well I can’t tell you what to do, but know I’ll be
here to support you.
Danielle: Thank you. Now, go and have a good audition. You
will nail it.
Alice: Thank you, see you later
Danielle: Good luck
On the other side of
the platform are Megan and her Mother Deborah
Deborah: I am so so proud of you Meg. This is such an
amazing opportunity for you!
Megan: Mum I am scared
Deborah: I know you must be feeling scared but just remember
how amazing this opportunity is for you and your future.
Megan: What if I have made an awful mistake leaving Phil
behind?
Deborah: He made it clear to you that he wouldn’t be able to
cope for 6 months. He was an arse if you ask me
Megan: But that’s the thing will I be able to cope without
him? He’s the love of my life mum.
Deborah: So you are going to give it up for a guy?
Megan: He’s not just any guy; he’s the one I want to be with
for the rest of my life. And don’t you dare say that mum you did the same when
you were my age you stayed to be with my dad and had me so don’t be a hypocrite.
Deborah: I just think this is best for you.
Megan: No mum this is what you want because you didn’t do it.
I just don’t feel I can….
Phil: MEG!
Megan: Phil?
Phil: (Running towards her) I’m sorry, I am so so sorry for
all of the things I said. I was an absolute arse to you. I just thought about
myself. We can make it work! I can come
out to you as many times as I can. We can do it and make it work I don’t why I
was being so stubborn. I guess I just thought I would be losing you.
Megan: Phil you don’t know how much that means to me. But thinking
about it I don’t feel I can leave now. So
I am going to take this opportunity to say… Phil, I love you so much and I know
this was something you were going to do, but I feel I should ask… Will you
marry me?
Phil: Of course I will it would be my pleasure. So does this
mean you are staying.
Megan: Yes I am, sometimes you’ve got to stop and think
about the things that make you happy, and you are what makes me happy. I love
you
Phil: You have no idea how that makes me feel. I love you
too
Deborah: As long as this is the right decision for you Meg
then I support you
Megan: This is the right thing mum
Deborah: Okay then.
Further down the
station are Emma and Sharon. Emma is about to go to her ballet exam
Sharon: Are you feeling confident about this exam? Of course
you are no need to ask that question
Emma: Yes I guess so
Sharon: Come liven up a bit I expect a distinction from you
and nothing less.
Emma: Mum I need to talk to you
Sharon: (Sharply) About what?
Emma: I respect everything you do for me; just I feel it’s
too much. You need to let me do what makes me feel happy and not what you want
me to do. I can’t cope with how intense you are about my training.
Sharon: But you are going to be a star one day?
Emma: That’s just it mum. It’s too much you are pushing me
too hard and I’m starting to dislike it. I am doing everything you want me to
do and not for what I want to do.
Sharon: I have done everything for you to give you every
opportunity possible
Emma: I know I am so thankful. I just need to cut it down a
bit please.
Sharon: I don’t understand you
Emma: Please mum, I will do this exam, just when we get home
can we sort everything out and think about cutting down some of my commitments
because I feel so drained and run down.
Sharon: Fine. I hope you know what you are doing
Emma: Yes, I am doing what is best and what will make me
happy. I’m not very well I’m getting thinner, my energy is just going and I’m
so weak and exhausted. Please mum let do what I think will be best for me.
Danielle, Megan and
Emma all walk to front of stage and say together
Emma/Danielle/Megan: This is the right thing to do
