The only breadwinner of the family is Charlie's father Mr.Bucket who lost his job in local toothpaste factory. The story revolves around a boy named Charlie Bucket who was born in a poor family and lived with his grandparents and parents. This is one of my favourite books since childhood. I’m looking forward to expanding my imagination through literature. I recommend you check out the scripted version. I felt as if I was on the tour with them, is that weird to say?Īll in all, I enjoyed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The scripted writing lets you approach it in any way you want, and that’s what I love most. Now, I’ve read the actual book and seen both movies too. These children are abnormal, yet they come from depressed, non active parents? That makes sense. Their characters feel dead, it’s like a talking zombie following the weirdest kid ever. Also, what’s with the parents? In my opinion, they should be a big part of the story. I’m not much of a book reader, but I know enough that it should at least have been fifty pages longer, minimum. To be honest, I felt like it was way too short. This script read was indeed good, but it had its cons. What sets this apart from the actual book is the way it's written formatted without poetic narration. Willy made a great chaperon, and is just a great character in general. They only came out when some terrible event occurred with one of the children, other than that they remained in the background.

I could imagine how that would have played out in a live performance. My favorite part was when Violet turned into a blueberry. George did not write the actual story, but he did a good job on translating it to what it’s become. The pace was bearable and the dialogue was fun. Reading this was the highlight of my script reading week.

Odd sets are used in the play, along with brilliant dialogue. In this story you meet wild characters, like the obese Augustus Gloop, witty Mike Teevee, sweetheart Verruca Salt, deceiving Violet Beauregard, and the loony Willy Wonka. In fact, George (his mother's father) is able to attend the magical tour with him. Charlie wins a golden ticket to a mysterious chocolate factory.ĭoes he go alone? No.

He lives with his mother and father, along with his four grandparents. The story starts off with a poor bloke, which whom is named Charlie Bucket. Although the movie has been released already, I took time to read the scripted version used for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, transmitted by Richard R.
