Big Sad Wolf


Big Sad Wolf

As we made our way into East Taieri’s big hall, unknown faces turned to stare at us. I felt 
 awkward as I knelt down beside Christina. There were only three people in the play, but 
 the actors were very skilful & talented & played 9 or 10 different characters. The main character, Wolf, had a funny personality. He was a vegetarian, who loved marmite sandwiches & he had allergies to straw & sticks. The only girl in the play, took on many characters, including the first little pig, whose house was blown down, a sheep who helped to blackmail Wolf, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, who loved porridge, Snow White, & the huntsman, the most faithful servant of Judge. The only other person who was in the play, took on The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Granny & the second little pig. The Boy Who Cried Wolf was a sneaky, cunning character who was pure evil. He disguised himself as a Judge, which was why Wolf was almost thrown in prison for being tricked into carrying out Boy’s nasty plans. Wolf also played Hansel, who was on The Boy Who Cried Wolf’s side. Boy had an organisation called E.F.F.O.R.T, & they wanted to bulldoze a highway through the Enchanted Forest. This group included Hansel, Snow White, the sheep who helped to blackmail Wolf, the two little pigs, Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood &, of course, The Boy Who Cried Wolf. In the end, Wolf & Huntsman discovered that Boy was pretending to be a Judge & they put an end to the E.F.F.O.R.T organisation. I thought the funniest parts were at the end when huntsman put some straw under Wolf’s nose & Wolf accidentally blew Boy’s clothes off! Right before the end, the characters danced & sang to a song similar to Gangnam Style. The song had the same music, but the words were different. I would love to see that play again.
