Cinderella - the Sequel Goldilocks And the Three Martians Goody Two Shoes Red Riding Hood Goes Out West Sleeping Beauty Goes Back To the FutureCinderella - the Sequel
Synopsis:
Variable casting. If you have already done a Cinderela - and your audience would like to know what happens next, or if you want a pantomime which is up-to-date, original and different, this could be the one for you. CinderElla decides the Prince is too boring to marry, so she runs away to join a pirate ship (in disguise of course). All the old characters, such as baron Hardup, stepmother, ugly sisters, the Prince and Dan O`Deeny, his Irish companion, follow her to bring her back, and the Fairy Godmother goes along to see fair play. CinderElla meets some interesting new characters, such as the swashbuckling pirate chief, the Earl of Sandwich and his wife, their well-endowed daughter Eglantine, and even some nasty characters such as the Old Man of the Sea. the ship sails to Mexico where pretty girls, bandits and lots more adventures await all our characters, and the ugly sisters are in for some surprises. Twists and turns, humour and thrills abound in this original and bang-up-to-date pantomime, which is easily staged with only two basic sets.

Top of PageGoldilocks And the Three Martians
Synopsis:
Variable casting. This is a delightfully different pantomime, combining the favourite, traditional elements with space-age excitement, original humour, and romance. Dame Fatima Fazackerley has so many children she finds them hard to control - and in any case, she has her eye on that nice, eccentric widower, Mr Merryweather, who is always giving sweets to the village children. Her daughter, Goldilocks, goes for a picnic in the woods, and encounters not three bears but a spaceship. She is inadvertently taken to Mars, where her new friend, Baby Martian, takes her to the grooviest place in the universe, the Mars Bar. Its barman, Maxibillion Megalux, mixes cocktails which can have the most amazing results! Meanwhile, Goldilocks` bossy sister, Polly, has found romance with the rather inept Cuthbert - but is temptation in the Mars Bar too much for him? And what will become of the surprise visitor who arrives on a broomstick?

However, Squire Stinge steals her shoes and plots to get rid of Randolph. In despair, Goody agrees to marry the Squire so that her parents can get their farm back. the last scene is full of excitement and romance, as Randolph returns in the nick of time to save Goody from a fate worse than death!

Top of PageRed Riding Hood Goes Out West
Synopsis:
A new telling of the Red Ridinghood tale set in the American West. Red Ridinghood, an independent-minded English girl, arrives in the town of Not Very Big Boulder to save Grandma from the outlaw, Bad Bart, & his incompetent sidekick, Brains. Bad Bart wants to buy Grandma`s home for a pittance as there is 'gold in them thar hills!' Red manages to foil his plan. In desperation, Bad Bart hires Big Bad Wolf, an Indian brave with a villainous reputation, to kill Grandma, leaving Bart able to claim the land as his own. But help it at hand in the form of the Lone Ranger & Tonto - or it would be if the Lone Ranger were more competent & less vain! Red Ridinghood, the children & Tonto save the day. This pantomime is very strong on plot, cleverly interweaving the original story with intriguing & innovative sub-plots. With varied settings, Can-Canning saloon girls and Indian dances this easily staged panto is full of colour. It has hilarious characters, such as the bumbling squaws, Maxihaha & Minihaha, & plenty of exciting adventure & romance.

Top of PageSleeping Beauty Goes Back To the Future
Synopsis:
VAriable casting. This pantomime, while following much of the traditional story of Sleeping Beauty, also has many quirks and surprises. the fairies all have original and amusing characters, the highlight being Fairy Liquid - played by a man, in pantomime tradition. This pantomime takes the audience through lots of eras, including rock a¬un roll, flower power, and - after the Princess has fallen into a hundred years sleep - with the help of the Tardis, the roaring twenties and the elegant eighteenth century. On the way we meet such interesting characters as the eccentric Dr What, his assistant Question Mark, a dashing highway man, the evil Fairy Grotto, and, of course, the Princess and her Prince. the Prince really has to get to the future, to wake the Princess and break the spell!
