@_nitin69_
Act 1: The Routine
Narrator: Welcome to our play, “Mother’s Day,” a story about respect and appreciation. We begin in the Pearson household, where Mrs. Pearson is often taken for granted by her family. (Mrs. Pearson is in the kitchen, preparing dinner. Doris enters, looking at her phone.) Doris: Mum, I need my yellow dress ironed for tonight. I’m going out with friends. Mrs. Pearson: (sighing) Alright, Doris. I’ll do it after dinner. (Cyril enters, looking for his sports gear.) Cyril: Mum, where’s my sports kit? I can’t find it anywhere. Mrs. Pearson: (tiredly) It’s in the laundry, Cyril. I’ll get it for you. (George enters, reading the newspaper.) George: Evening, everyone. What’s for dinner, Mrs. Pearson? Mrs. Pearson: (wearily) It’s roast chicken, George. It’ll be ready soon.
Act 2: The Plan
Narrator: Mrs. Pearson’s neighbor, Mrs. Fitzgerald, notices how exhausted and unappreciated Mrs. Pearson is. She decides to help her friend. (Mrs. Fitzgerald enters the Pearson living room.) Mrs. Fitzgerald: Mrs. Pearson, you deserve better. Let’s switch places for a while. I’ll teach your family a lesson. Mrs. Pearson: (hesitant) Are you sure it will work? Mrs. Fitzgerald: Trust me. (They hold hands and switch personalities.)
Act 3: The Transformation
Narrator: With the switch complete, Mrs. Pearson, now with Mrs. Fitzgerald’s assertive personality, is ready to confront her family. (Doris enters, looking annoyed.) Doris: Mum, where’s my dress? I need it ironed! Mrs. Pearson: (firmly) Iron it yourself, Doris. I’m not your servant. Doris: (shocked) What? But you always do it! Mrs. Pearson: Things are changing around here. (Cyril enters, looking for his tea.) Cyril: Mum, where’s my tea? Mrs. Pearson: Make it yourself, Cyril. I’m taking a break. Cyril: (confused) What’s gotten into you, Mum? (George enters, expecting his usual routine.) George: Evening, everyone. What’s for dinner? Mrs. Pearson: (calmly) Whatever you cook, George. I’m not doing everything anymore. George: (angry) This is outrageous!
Act 4: The Realization
Narrator: The family is bewildered by Mrs. Pearson’s new attitude. They begin to realize how much they have taken her for granted. (Mrs. Fitzgerald, still in Mrs. Pearson’s body, enters.) Mrs. Fitzgerald: (to the family) You all need to appreciate your mother more. She deserves respect. Doris: (softly) We’re sorry, Mum. Cyril: We’ll help out more. George: (sincerely) We didn’t realize how much you do for us.
Act 5: The Resolution
Narrator: With the lesson learned, Mrs. Fitzgerald and Mrs. Pearson switch back to their original personalities. (They hold hands and switch back.) Mrs. Pearson: (smiling) Thank you, Mrs. Fitzgerald. Mrs. Fitzgerald: Anytime, Mrs. Pearson. Remember, stand up for yourself. (The family gathers around Mrs. Pearson, showing their appreciation.) Doris: Mum, let me help with dinner. Cyril: I’ll do the dishes tonight. George: And I’ll make sure we all pitch in from now on.
Narrator: And so, the Pearson family learned to appreciate and respect Mrs. Pearson, making their home a happier place. Thank you for watching “Mother’s Day.”
