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.

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. |

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. |
