| Hansel & Gretel...? (A Postmodern Pantomime) [One-Act] by Luke Reilly |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 5. Minimum total without doubling = 5. No chorus. The script requires a non-speaking usher as part of the cast, but also a volunteer from the audience (a genuine volunteer, not a plant) who is given some lines to read, so needs a script but is not part of the cast. (We warned you it was postmodern.) |
| Run Time | Around 56 minutes. [Estimated!] Timing allows for 8 songs. |
| Music | The producer's copy of the script contains alternative lyrics for the 8 suggested songs. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script. |
| Style | One-act, small-cast postmodern pantomime. (A pantomime, but also exposing the mechanics of the show, with the director appearing on stage.) |
| Synopsis | Enigmatic director Mal Sixsmith invites you to an open rehearsal of Hansel & Gretel, but are his cast ready for opening night? It's leading lady Toni's first gig, but she's distracted by her crush on co-leading lady Bill. Meanwhile, Simon the Dame believes his talents are wasted and is keen to catch the bus home. |
