Goldilocks and the Three Bears [Rhyme] by Peter Bond
Best Seller |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 5. Minimum total without doubling = 5. No chorus. Whilst the bears are nominally male and female, they are, after all, bears, so gender will tend to be disguised! |
| Run Time | Around 7 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Short rhyming play. This approaches the border of the British pantomime genre. (Make you own mind up on that point!) |
| Synopsis | The tale of the Three Bears and the diminutive housebreaker with a novel twist at the end. |
