There is, of course, a thin line between seeming to approve of something by representing it, and representing it in order to attempt to spotlight its failings. I had hoped that, as these characters sit within a piece whose main theme is the ridiculousness of mindless acceptance of stereotypes and what is fed to us through various media, the intended irony would be seen. One would hope that it would provide an opportunity for discussion around these issues. These are presented in a deliberately stereotypical way, with the intention of using this extreme representation in an ironic way to highlight how easily we fall into such cultural traps. Therefore, I don’t see her as a negative stereotype. Gerda is conscientious (looking after her goats), brave (she follows Tommy up the mountain in order to protect him), non-judgemental (she accepts the Dragon) – all in all the voice of reason in a culture of unthinking prejudice.
I accept that not everyone likes this sort of humour, but many people do. The part is intended to be played OTT to allow an actor to have fun with it. Old Ma is based on a Panto Dame-type character, i.e. Sometimes an author’s intentions and approach can be misinterpreted, so thank you for giving us this opportunity to explain them. It is never our intention to offend anyone and therefore I hope that the scriptwriter’s thoughts below will help to explain the reasoning behind the inclusion of the girls’ roles as they are in the script. We are so sorry that this was your experience of the script of Dragon Days.
