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. |

Help is at hand in the form of the Good Fairy who recognises Mrs Goose's selfless qualities and rewards her with the gift of Priscilla, a goose who lays golden eggs. To all intents and purposes Mrs Goose is now happy. Not so, says the Demon King, long-time adversary of the Good Fairy. He intends to show that nobody is ever really content with their lot. They always want more. Will he be proved right? |
