We also have the ever-popular pantomime pirates. (Say Aar!) And we have some rather unusual pantomime creatures. (Yes, all panto animals are unusual, but these are more unusual than that.) |
Run Time | Around 110 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | Producer's copy includes original lyrics to fifteen suggested songs. (Other songs may be substituted at the discretion of the production.) Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script. |
Style | British pantomime - songs, dances, jokes, mayhem. |
Synopsis | The hero has gone missing - or, at least, the King, and Old King Cole ought to be some sort of hero. Anyway, he's done a runner, and since then, everything at the court has turned sour. The princess has turned into a talking encyclopaedia and the Queen can barely speak. A doctor proposes a remedy - the Queen needs to laugh, but nobody seems to be able to make her so much as smile, least of all Gooseberry, the jester. Fairy Crackers sends Gooseberry on a mission - to bring back the world's funniest joke! But even if he finds it, will the Queen regain her sense of humour? |
