I Can Change Your Life!

Drama Script (DRA016) I can change your life © Jane Hulme 2015 Props: Narrator: Mrs Mop: Narrator: Mrs Mop: Narrator: Mrs Mop: How are you going to change my life Mrs Mop? I am going to save you hours of showering and bathing each day Sounds good......we would all enjoy an extra few minutes in bed in the morning. But how are you going to do that Mrs Mop? With soap Hmmm.....that doesn’t sound very life changing to me.....we all know what soap is Mrs. Mop Ah but this soap is different...you see you only need to have one wash with it a week and your body will stay clean. It will only cost you fifty pounds a bar © Jane Hulme 2015 DRAMA: “I CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE!” (DRA016) To open up the subject of “transformation” in a humorous way. In an All Age Worship service the script could be preceded by saying that all sorts of different people we come across promise to change / transform our lives for the better......but can we trust them or what they have to offer us? The script could be followed by saying that none of the people in the drama were credible, so we wouldn’t trust what they had to offer. When Jesus began his ministry over two thousand years ago people wondered who He really was and whether they could really trust what He was telling them. Jesus’ credibility was seen by the things he did and the changes he made in people’s lives eg Zacchaeus’ change of heart, the woman who was bent over was healed, the demoniac was released; the dead child was raised to life....... Transformation, trusting Jesus Luke 8:26-39, 8:40- 56, 13:10-17, 19:1-10, Narrator, Mrs Mop, Mr Delicious, Mrs Brainbox Soap, chocolate cake, ipod with headphones ........................................................................................................................ Aim of Script: Use of Script: Main themes: Biblical references: Cast: (Enter Narrator) Narrator: Good morning everyone to our next episode of “Life-changers” .....the TV programme that introduces you to people who can totally change your life.

Let me introduce you to my first guest Mrs. Mop (Enter Mrs Mop dressed in a shabby way holding a piece of old soap) 2 Narrator: Mrs Mop: Narrator: And a bargain at that. Think of the time you will save taking showers and baths with once a week washing. Thank you Mrs Mop for offering us something to change our lives.....my only question is “Why do you smell so.....er.....unwashed?” How rude.....I use this soap every week and no-one has ever said that to me before Yes of course....sorry. Let’s move on quickly to our next guest. Let me introduce you to Mr. Delicious (Enter Mr Delicious who has lots of padding under his coat to make him look really fat, holding a chocolate cake) Narrator: Mr Delicious: Narrator: Mr Delicious: Narrator: Mr Delicious: Narrator: How are you going to change my life Mr Delicious? I have developed this new type of cake that has zero calories. You can eat as much as you like of it and never put on weight! That sounds amazingly good as I love cake. But what about the taste.....does it still taste as good? It tastes just the same as the calorie full cake I’m not being rude Mr Delicious but how long have you been testing out this new cake? Ooooh a few months now. I have eaten about sixty of these cakes Yes, it looks like it! Mmm.....I’m not so sure that your cake has zero calories.... Narrator: Mrs BB: Narrator: Mrs BB: Narrator: Mrs BB: How are you going to change my life Mrs Brainbox? I don’t think I will change your life as much as the lives of our younger viewers I see. So how are you going to change their lives? I want to make learning easier......so this is my new brain chip. Plug it into your ears and switch on and you need never read a book again. Everything you need to learn is instantly transferred from the chip into your brain with no effort. So no more school? Exactly © Jane Hulme 2015 Of course it has.....I have done all the tests...... Moving on quickly.....let me introduce you to my last guest.....Mrs Brainbox Mr Delicious: Narrator: (Enter Mrs Brainbox with an ipod and headphones saying the alphabet but getting it wrong) 3 Narrator: Mrs BB: Narrator: Mrs BB: Narrator: Mrs BB: Narrator: (Exit all) I think that could be very popular and utterly life-changing. Think of all the time you could spend at the park or watching television instead. If this works Mrs Brainbox, I am impressed.... If it works? Of course it works. Could you tell me which books you have already loaded into your brain? All sorts....this and that.....the Bible. So which is the first book of the Bible? Now come on? That’s not fair.....it is only 10.40am in the morning ......why don’t you ask me how much this amazing device is? I’m sorry but we are running out of time...... So there we have it folks......three people claiming to be life-changers: Mrs Mop, Mr Delicious and Mrs Brainbox......I will leave you to make up your mind as to whether you think they really can change your life for the better. See you again next week for another episode of “Life-Changers.” Goodbye for now. © Jane Hulme 2015 4
