Late 20s.They could be different women from different walks of life. They could be ‘all’ women. Or one woman at different points in her life. Let your interpretation inform your reading / performance.The lines are delivered in a marching beat. It does not have to sound natural. Each character enters walking to a beat, even if it’s not a march per say. Lights come up as PIGTAILS enters the stage. She’s marching in that exaggerated way kids do.PIGTAILSI’m a brave little soldier. I meet each day with a brave little face and when things get tough I go to my brave little place.CLUBBER joins her on stage. Her confident strut does not belie her vulnerability.CLUBBERI’m a brave little soldier. I don’t let the enemy in or I’d fold or crumple or cry.MILLENIAL joins the stage with her smartphone in hand, down by her side.MILLENIALI’m a brave little soldier. Some days I win. But some days I die.Finally, PROTESTER joins them. She’s weary but strong.PROTESTERI’m a brave little soldier. I got told to be brave by my big brave mum. So now I march to the beat of my heart like a brave little drum.CLUBBERI’m a brave little soldier. I go out with war paint on. Won’t let myself be touched by no-one. Even when I’m dancing to a brave little song. I’ll tell him unwanted touch is wrong.MILLENIALI’m a brave little soldier. I wake up and put my war paint on. It’s lipstick and mascara from forever 21 but it means I’m here to heard by everyone.PIGTAILSI’m a brave little soldier with a brave little den. And in my den it’s just for girls, no men.CLUBBERI’m a brave little soldier. I put on my armor, it’s a black little dress. He says I obviously dressed to impress. He’s got it wrong. It’s all a mess. I feel my head go under as I try to swim. I dressed for me and not for him.MILLENIAL I’m a brave little soldier. I called out the campaign that tried to use bodies and fame to tell me I should feel shame and be in pain to gain that ‘beach body’ I find so lame. PROTESTERI’m a brave little soldier. I marched when it mattered. Even though my legs and arms were shattered. My feet pattered with all women. Future, present past. Women with a voice at last. PIGTAILSI’m a brave little soldier. I know what he does is wrong. But I know it won’t last long, I’ve got to be strong.CLUBBERI’m a brave little soldier. But now I’m back at his place. I feel like such a disgrace. But he’s grabbing my face. I can’t catch my breath, I’m sick to death of dancing this dance and running this race.PROTESTERI’m a brave little soldier in a brave new world. Where presidents can say bad things about girls and media can hurl insults at women for getting old. Women get taken down for being bold. Paid less, made to wear a dress, try to impress, as the world gets cold.CLUBBERI’m a brave little soldier that doesn't believe the lies she’s been told.MILLENIALI’m a brave little soldier who won’t buy the story she’s been sold.PIGTAILSI’m a brave little soldier and one day I’ll be old. Tell people what I know, be able to show that no matter what you go through you can be bold.ALL (Now marching in place)I’m a brave little soldier. Go on and underestimate me. You’ll see. I’ll grow like a big strong tree. I’ll grow and be strong and not give up the fight. I’ll fight late into the night. Because I know what’s right. I won’t let you snuff out my light. And for as long as it takes, I’ll fight this fight. ................
