What about little red riding Hood by Raquel Toledo Bernal

WHAT ABOUT LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD At the beginning of the play we can only see the figure of a girl dressed in a black coat with short white socks and black shoes. She is holding a bunch of flowers in her hands. When she tries to put the flowers in the highest niche, she begins to feel disappointed. As she cant reach the niche to put the flowers in an imaginary basket, finally she breaks down in tears. Then a light in the opposite corner of the stage illuminates a famous musician softly playing the guitar: J.B.: Its a pity, CARMEN: Si, s que es una pena J.B.: What was her name? CARMEN: Se llamaba Angela J.B.: It is a very beautiful name, CARMEN: Si, muy bonito. J.B.: You loved her a lot, didnt you? CARMEN: Si, la quera un montn, bueno la sigo queriendo aunque ya no est en su mecedora. J.B.: How old was your grandma? CARMEN: Mi abuela tena noventa y dos aos. J.B.: Only ninety two years old? She is too young to die, CARMEN: Lo s, demasiado joven para morir. J.B.: She must have had many things to tell you. Did she tell you stories about her life? CARMEN: Pues s que me contaba cosas sobre su vida pero yo la verdad es que no la escuchaba mucho. J.B.: We should listen to our grandparents more often. CARMEN: S, lo s, deberamos escuchar a nuestros abuelos ms a menudo y ahora me arrepiento de no haberlo hecho. J.B.: Do you really regret that? CARMEN: Yes, I do, I really regret it. (He plays the song about little red riding hood very slowly and sadly) CARMEN: Por favor, no toques esa cancin J.B.: Why dont you want me to play this song? CARMEN: Porque me recuerda a mi abuela J.B: Does this song remind you of your grandma? CARMEN: S, a ella le gustaba mucho contarme el cuento de caperucita roja J.B: Did she like the tale of Little red riding Hood? CARMEN: Uhum, era su cuento preferido J.B: Her favorite tale, I see, but do you like the tale? CARMEN: Me gusta y no me gusta, caperucita roja siempre me ha llamado la atencin pero es un cuento para nios pequeos y yo ya tengo nueve aos y medio. J.B: I don`t agree with you, Little red riding Hood is a tale for all the ages. CARMEN: Un cuento para todas las edades? Pues yo le estoy cogiendo una mana J.B.: Why is this tale getting on your nerves? CARMEN: Porque la seo de ingls nos ha pedido que nos reinventemos un cuento para enserselo luego a los compaeros y yo precisamente he elegido ese por ser el preferido de mi abuela. J.B.: And? CARMEN: Y ahora no s cmo lo voy a hacer, podra aprenderme esa cancin J.B.:(canta l primero para ensearsela) Little Red Riding Hood,
You sure are lookin' good, You're everything a big, bad wolf could want...

Together!

We can here the applauses and the rock version of the song of LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD LETRA CANCIN DE LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD:
*howl* What's that I see walkin' in these woods? Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood. Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood, You sure are lookin' good, You're everything a big, bad wolf could want... *Listen to me* Little Red Riding Hood, I don't think little big girls should Go walkin' in these spooky ol' woods alone. *howl* What big eyes you have, The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad. So just to see that you don't get chased, I think I ought to walk with you for a ways. What full lips you have, They're sure to lure someone bad. So until you get to Grandma's place,

I think you ought to walk with me and be safe. I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on, Til I'm sure that you've been shown That I can be trusted, walking with you alone. *howl* Little Red Riding Hood, I'd like to hold you if I could, But you might think I'm a big, bad wolf, so I won't. *howl* What a big heart I have, The better to love you with. Little Red Riding Hood, Even bad wolves can be good. I'll try to keep satisfied, Just to walk close by your side. Maybe you'll see things my way Before we get to Grandma's place. Little Red Riding Hood, You sure are lookin' good, You're everything a big, bad wolf could want. *howl* I mean baaaaa, baaaaaa, baaaaa.....
