A silly, little spelling mistake in Miss Hardbroom’s class… I turned Ethel into a pig. (She giggles nervously) I am taking it seriously, Miss Cackle. It’s a lot of fuss about nothing, if you ask me… Didn’t you? Oh, I’m sorry. (Pause) You can borrow my pen, Miss, if yours has run out… Why am I here? Now, that’s a very good question. Unfortunately… Except there’s no ‘o’ in it… But there are two ‘b’s… And an ‘h’ instead of ‘t’, ‘r’. Mildred Hubble… Like ‘trouble’, Miss, yes. She is very nervous and hoping desperately that she won’t be expelled. In this scene MILDRED has been summoned to Miss Cackle’s office to explain a recent incident. But she manages to get by until Ethel, the teacher’s pet, becomes her deadly enemy. MILDRED Hubble is ‘The Worst Witch’ at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches - she always gets things wrong. The Worst Witch series of books, the first of which was published in 1975, toured nationally as a musical with book, music and lyrics by Paul Todd with Jill Murphy in 1991/2, and has recently been made into a children’s series for Carlton TV.
