Heavenly Resolutions
A Christian drama script to download and use
£3.99
New Year is traditionally a time for resolutions, but if you are a young person then making promises to change your ways (or change the world!) can be a bit uncool. Angels, meanwhile, like many Christians might have their minds on loftier things like the dedication of lives to God. Who will learn from who?
This new-year-resolution drama about bored young people and an unlikely pair of angels requires four people (male or female), at least two of them young. It could be performed any time early in the year.
Here is an extract, you can download the full script using the cart buttons.
| (Pause) | |
| CHARLIE | You know that game you got for Christmas? |
| JACK | Mega Armageddon Total Destruction 3? |
| CHARLIE | Yeah. Can I borrow it sometime? |
| JACK | Yeah, course. |
| CHARLIE | Is it any good? |
| JACK | Nah. |
| CHARLIE | Oh. |
| (Pause) | |
| JACK | Did you make a new year resolution? |
| CHARLIE | Did you? |
| JACK | I asked first. |
| CHARLIE | No, only kids make resolutions! |
| JACK | Yeah, kids. And old people. |
| CHARLIE | Yeah, old people! (mimics an old persons voice ) I’m making a resolution to be nice to my cat! |
| JACK | Yeah, old people. |
| (CAPTAIN GRINBOLT enters at a brisk pace, looking important. THUDBANG follows, but is looking intently at CHARLIE and JACK.) | |
| THUDBANG | Did you hear what he just said? |
| GRINBOLT | That’s “Did you hear what he just said, Captain Grinbolt Sir?” You young angels must learn respect! |
| THUDBANG | (stops, looking at CHARLIE) Did you hear what he just said, Captain Grinbolt Sir? |
| GRINBOLT | (stops and turns to THUDBANG) What are you talking about now, Thudbang? |
| THUDBANG | He said he hadn’t made a resolution. |
| GRINBOLT | (impatiently) Well what of it? |
| THUDBANG | He’s lying! |
| GRINBOLT | Ooh, nasty little word that! How do you know he’s lying? |
| THUDBANG | Because I heard him make a resolution. I heard them both make resolutions! |
| GRINBOLT | Really? And what were these resolutions? |
| THUDBANG | Well, the one called Charlie promised to tidy his room regularly… |
| GRINBOLT | No doubt he said that to impress his Mum. They all do it. |
| THUDBANG | (impatiently) No, he made the promise in private, to himself! |
| GRINBOLT | (interested) Really? And what about the one called ‘Jack’? |
| THUDBANG | Oh, his was weird. He resolved to end world hunger by eating fewer chocolates and putting a little money each week in a charity box. |
| GRINBOLT | (shocked) And has he done it? |
| THUDBANG | Well, he gave the money last week. Not sure about the chocolate. |
| GRINBOLT | Fantastic! This calls for celebration! Bring me a harp, lyre and tambourine! |
| THUDBANG | That’s a bit over the top isn’t it? It’s not like they’ve just become Christians or anything! |
