The Grinch Who Stole Christmas – Duologue 8 – 11 Years

The Grinch is a bitter, grouchy, cave-dwelling creature with a heart “two sizes too small” who lives on snowy Mount Crumpit, a steep high mountain just north of the town of Whoville, home of the merry and warm-hearted Whos. His only companion is his unloved, but loyal dog, Max.

MAX: The Grinch is my master and I am his dog Max! I’m not sure if he likes me, he doesn’t like many people or animals for that matter! He’s not a very  good looking creature, but that might be because he’s always miserable. You see his heart is two sizes too small. We live ….

GRINCH: (Shouting in a grumpy voice from off stage) Max, Max, go and get me some snow from the mountain, so I can boil my carrots and cabbage!

MAX: See! Told you! I’d better go and get the snow. (Collects snow from stage left) We live on the top of Mount Crumpit and we can see and hear the lovely village of Whoville below. The people are very nice there, but the Grinch doesn’t like them either.
