Sample Text:

WOLFMAN Yo Doc!

DOCTOR Wolfman there you are, how are you feeling?

WOLFMAN Well, I was feeling a bit groggy when I first woke up but I’m alright
nowwwww (howl like a Wolf)

DOCTOR You’re looking good my boy!

WOLFMAN Thanks Doc, I didn’t like being so hairy at first but it kind of grew on me!

DOCTOR Now, are you ready to help me complete my monster

WOLFMAN I was born ready Doc

WOLFMAN hands his skateboard to EGOR who shuffles off and hands it to the crew in the wings, then returns

DOCTOR Now Wolfman, we have to finish my monster to scare away some uninvited
guests

EGOR You mean this ‘orrible lot (pointing at the AUDIENCE). They are a bit scary,
aren’t they?

DOCTOR sees the AUDIENCE

DOCTOR Ooh, they look like my previous failed experiments, especially that one over
there

They all look intently at someone in the AUDIENCE

DOCTOR No, not them. We have more ‘ghosts hunters’ in the house! Dracula has
called a house meeting later and we have to get my Monster ready. I wish I
had more cash to fund my research.

WOLFMAN Hey, why don’t we take some money off this lot? Lock all the doors!

SFX – sound effect of big doors locking. Chorus members arrive as security at the fire doors and at the back of the hall.

DOCTOR Ha ha haa, now empty your pockets!
