Drama script entitled “SOLITUDE”| CONTEST: WRITE YOUR OWN PLAY
Here I will write a drama script entitled “Solitude” this drama consist of two characters, Namely:
- Omodasola. A young girl of 13years old. Her appearance is a bit boyish, charismatic and wise.
- Mother. A woman who is around 40years old. A trader who’s was in an unstable marriage with a husband she refused to divorce because of her kids.
Before I make the script of the drama, I want to give you an overview of the story line
Omodasola was born a twin, in the year 1999. Her temper was quite under water unlike the rest of her siblings. She never put herself intentionally in the limelight. Omodasola invested her time and attention on books from a young age, this action made everyone thought she was prideful and insensitive. Unknowingly to all, she was an introverted girl unlike her cheerful twin sister who always get along with everyone with her bright face and outgoing personality.
Omodasola was the total opposite of her twin sister, she doesn’t go out to play or make friends. Her friends were her books and her thoughts. Slowly unintentionally she made everyone her enemies even her mother, who always reprimanded her for not being outgoing and friendly like her twin sister.
Over time, because of her mother’s persistence. Omodasola started blending with the environment, she came out of her shell and started being friendly. But it wasn’t enough for her mother. She wanted a perfect child. The little effort Omodasola tried to put in was not appreciated but in return she was scolded again and again. Unwavering the little girl thought maybe if I was a bit like my sister, mummy won’t scold me anymore .
She started acting a bit like her sister, after some times she realized that this wasn’t her. She couldn’t do it, she can’t even keep a smile for long unless it’s a fake smile. She can’t make friends and pretend she likes them, because she doesn’t know how to.
After some months of pretending to be who she wasn’t, Omodasola made some couple of friends at school. It wasn’t even any easier, she thought they were are friends but she often heard them side talking and badmouthing her to others.
This also didn’t stop her from making more friends but time wasn’t in her favor because all the friends she painstakingly make always leave her. This situation slowly etched and turned her into a cold person who doesn’t even want to talk or pretend she’s nice anymore. She doesn’t even want to make friends, she just want to be herself. She wanted everyone to know and love her for herself.
The following is the script for the drama
scene one: inside the living room, Omodasola was seen standing with her head down and her eyes staring at her toes
Mother: what did you do again? Why are you always making trouble? Why can’t you just be a little like your sister? Why are you always frowning as if the whole world offends you?
Omodasola: Mother, I really didn’t do anything. I didn’t even say anything before the customer started insulting me
Mother: and so? What if the customer insulted you? You must have looked at him wrongly with that your face that you always squeezed together! Can’t you just smile and act friendly with them
Omodasola: blinking back the tears that threatened to fall
Mother: Just get out. If anyone reports you to me again just forget about eating for that day, look at your sister now. Even if she’s sad, she will still smile
Scene 2: Mother was seen with her long face pointing her finger and screaming at a young girl who was laying down on a bed
Mother: I know that something is up when you were helping out vigorously in the shop last week, so this is the outcome of it, I know it your father that you resemble. You this ungrateful child, your sister is in the shop helping me while you lay down here like a pregnant chicken. If a child will be helpful it’s from a toddler that she will be showing it. You are the bad egg among all my children, don’t worry I’m hear for you. I won’t allow it, all this stupid attitudes I will make sure I stripped you of it
Omodasola: **cried heavily as she stiffened the pillow with her nose so she won’t be heard until her mother left, then she blew her nose and made a life changing decision. I won’t ever let anyone make me feel inferior or incomplete, I will be the one in charge of my own happiness, sadness, solitude, danger, safety and life. If anyone can’t accept me that way, They can leave.
Best Regards😌
