| The Perfect Princess and the Wonky Wizard by Jonathan Edgington |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 7. Minimum total without doubling = 8. No chorus. One of the characters is a unicorn. For the purpose of counting roles, we have assumed this requires one actor, but of course it might be played as a full skin costume, like a pantomime horse. (The narrator might double as the unicorn.) |
| Run Time | Around 12 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | An optional song is suggested in the Producer's Copy of the script. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script. |
| Style | Short fairytale for children's theatre, with an original story. |
| Synopsis | Wilhelmina the Wicked Witch is holding Spoony the Uni, a unicorn, prisoner in an enchanted forest - which is no longer enchanted due to Walter the Wonky Wizard casting the wrong spell! Two owls, Joey and Snowy, and a young crow, Pickles, team up with Princess Arabella on her quest to rescue Spoony. |

The lost boys greet them, along with Tiger Lily and (in a twist to the original) her tribe of bickering sisters and cute little brother. A gang of pirates provide comedy and lots of topical/child friendly banter. With audience participation, this is a show which has received rave reviews and standing ovations from the audiences it has been performed to.
Note that as with all adaptations of Peter Pan, we pay half the author's royalties to Great Ormond Street Hospital. |

| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 0. Minimum total with doubling = 6. Minimum total without doubling = 6. No chorus. As written, there are six characters.
