Marjorie Marjorie!
A Christian drama script to download and use
£3.99
The premise of this quirky drama is that presenting Christ and Christianity too simplistically can make God seem small. The drama concerns two female television presenters, one all sweet smiles and enthusiasm as she performs “Christian bakery”, the other becoming increasingly concerned about the tone of the whole piece.

| Marjorie | (trying to maintain her smile, but very worried) Marjorie, I really do think that this is not quite respectful. Our good audience out there (smiles nervously at audience) know Jesus as their saviour. He’s not a sweet! |
| Marjorie | Marjorie Marjorie! Don’t you know the hymn (to audience) “How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believers ear”! Now (ploughing on) for each roll you will also need two marshmallows. (picking up a packet of marshmallows) I prefer one pink, one yellow -but you can choose for yourself. (she’s very excited by this point) Do you know what the marshmallows represent? do you? |
| Marjorie | (not really trying, she doesn’t really want to be associated with this) The sun and the moon? |
| Marjorie | Don’t be silly! We’re not pagans you know. They represent the stone rolled over the tomb! (she pushes one mallow into each end of the roll, sealing the “tomb”. Then she holds it up to the audience, as before. Attempts to be solemn) Christ is sealed! |
| Marjorie | (genuinely puzzled) So… why are there two? |
| Marjorie | Pardon? |
| Marjorie | Why are there two marshmallows? There was only one stone over the tomb. |
| Marjorie | (cold stare) Don’t complicate things dear. Faith should be simple! |
