DONNA’S ROOM.
DONNA’s room at The Taverna is cheerful and comfortable and crammed with the
detritus of sixteen odd years on the Island. There is a dressing-table and a mirror.
A trunk containing the Dynamos’ old stage costumes is under DONNA’s bed.
ROSIE flips a coin to decide who gets the bed. Loser gets the blow up air mattress.
TANYA
Heads.
ROSIE flips a coin (and wins the toss). She puts the air mattress on the floor.
TANYA begins blowing it up. ROSIE is unpacking on the bed. Once TANYA has
begun making a fool of herself…
ROSIE
Blow. Don’t suck.
TANYA GIVES HER A LOOK AND ABANDONS THE AIR-BED.
TANYA
All right, let’s see what you’re wearing for the wedding.
ROSIE HOLDS UP A PAIR OF BATTERED, BAGGY SHORTS.
TANYA
You’re joking !
ROSIE (ALL INNOCENCE)
What ? Oh – as if !
TANYA
Well. You could have been making some sort of statement
on the tyranny of wedlock.
ROSIE
You’d know more about that than me.
TANYA
Oh darling, you’ll meet your Mr. Right.
ROSIE
I have. I did. ..and all they wanted was to settle down
and have babies. No thanks.

TANYA
No … children can become such subversive little buggers ! I mean,
who’d have thought that Donna, the icon of female independence,
would have a daughter committing matrimony at twenty.
ROSIE
White weddings are trendy.
TANYA
What’s wrong with these kids ? Do you remember those
t-shirts we used to wear ? ‘Marriage is an institution –
ROSIE
- for people who belong in an institution.’
TANYA
Girls today seem to think that a woman’s greatest
achievement is getting a man.
ROSIE
You’ve had three husbands.
TANYA
I rest my case.
ROSIE, FINDING THE TRUNK UNDER THE BED –
ROSIE
Ooh, look.
TANYA
Oh my Lord !
ROSIE FINDS A POSTER SHOWING DONNA AND THE DYNAMOS 1976
TANYA
(TAKING THE POSTER)
Oh. (SUDDENLY WISTFUL) We were so young.
ROSIE IS BACK IN THE TRUNK. SHE HOLDS UP A SLINKY LITTLE
NUMBER.
ROSIE
I don’t know what the gals at the ‘Whole Woman’ Press
would say about my outfit.
DONNA I

TANYA
Hey – we should do a number tonight for Sophie’s party.
ROSIE
I’ll have to let out a few seams.
AS THEY LAUGH TOGETHER, DONNA BURSTS INTO THE ROOM.
DONNA
Where’s Sophie?
ROSIE
Haven’t seen her. Why?
DONNA
I must find her. Now.
TANYA
(SHOWING THE POSTER)
Da-Dah !
DONNA
What the hell is that about ?
ROSIE
It was in the trunk. You should hang this in
the bar. Show Sophie what a funky mom she’s got …
DONNA
(CUTS IN)
… NO – get rid of it – burn it – I never want to see it
again …
ROSIE
What’s wrong ? … what’s happened … ?
DONNA
… I thought it was over … past … I’d almost
forgotten … but it isn’t !
ROSIE
What isn’t?
DONNA
Nothing – leave me alone. I can’t talk about it …
DONNA I
P. 4 of 7
TOTAL 4 of 23
… I knew this would happen. All my life it’s been
tapping at my shoulder – of course it had to come out now !
It had to… God, why was I such a stupid little idiot !
DONNA RIPS UP THE POSTER AND THROWS HERSELF ON THE BED.
ROSIE AND TANYA LOOK AT EACH OTHER, NOT SURE WHAT TO DO.
FINALLY …
DONNA
(SPOKEN)
It’s her Dad.
TANYA
Whose Dad ?
DONNA
Sophie’s. You know how I always said it was Sam, the
architect who went home to get married …
TANYA
… bastard …
ROSIE
… typical man …
DONNA
… well, I’m not really sure if it was him.
Y’see, there were a couple of others …
TANYA
Donna Sheridan ! You dark horse !
ROSIE
Why didn’t you tell us ?
DONNA
‘Cos I didn’t think I’d ever have to. I didn’t think all three’d
be sitting in my bar the day before their daughter’s wedding !
DONNA I
P. 5 of 7
TOTAL 5 of 23
TANYA
What ?
ROSIE
In the bar ?
(THEY GO TO THE WINDOW)
DONNA
Don’t let them see you !
(ROSIE AND TANYA DUCK DOWN. ROSIE TAKES ANOTHER PEEK)
ROSIE
I can’t see anyone. Who are they ?
TANYA
Are you sure ?
DONNA
Of course I’m sure. You think I’d forget my
daughter’s Dads ? It’s Sam, Bill Austin and
Harry ‘Head-Banger’.
TANYA & ROSIE
Not…? (MAKING HEAD-BANGER GESTURE)
DONNA
Why have they all turned up like this ?
It’s like some horrible trick of Fate.
ROSIE
It is very Greek.
TANYA
Do they know ?
DONNA
They can’t know – I’ve never told anyone – why are they
here to ruin Sophie’s wedding ?
TANYA
I thought you weren’t keen on this wedding …
DONNA I
P. 6 of 7
TOTAL 6 of 23
DONNA
… I don’t want them spoiling it. They’ve got no right
to turn up like this – what the hell have they ever done for
their daughter ?
ROSIE
Donna, be fair – they didn’t know she existed …
DONNA
… and they don’t need to know – I’ve done
a damn good job with Soph, all by myself, and now
I’m going to be muscled out by an ejaculation !
ROSIE
No, you’re not, keep calm. You’re safe this evening –
it’s a male-free zone at Sophie’s party.
And tomorrow – Tanya and I will take them fishing.
TANYA
Fishing ? Oh – please !
ROSIE
What do you suggest we do with three men ?
TANYA
Oh, now that takes me back.
TANYA AND ROSIE SHARE A REMINISCENT CHORTLE.
ROSIE
Donna – you should have told us. I remember
Bill Austin – that awesome Aussie – he was
a hefty slice of the outback.
THEY LAUGH AGAIN. DONNA LOOKS AT THEM BOTH.
DONNA
Oh sure – it’s a laugh and a memory to you two, but
I was the one who got pregnant. I suppose this just about
serves me right.
TANYA
Oh my god – you sound just like your mother.
DONNA
I do not !
DONNA I
P. 7 of 7
TOTAL 7 of 23
TANYA & ROSIE
Yes – you do !
TANYA
Whatever happened to our Donna ? – life-n’-soul
of the party; el rock chick supremo ?
DONNA
She grew up that’s all.
TANYA
Ooh, well grow back down again. You haven’t done anything
to be ashamed of …
ROSIE
… yeah, screw ‘em if they can’t take a joke –
