Roles | Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 16. Minimum total without doubling = 17. No chorus. |
Run Time | Around 20 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | The dwarves perform a rap (lyrics embedded in the script, no music supplied) and there is a song to the tune of 'What shall we do with a Drunken Sailor?' Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script. |
Style | Short, one-act play for children. No specific set requirements, few props. (Might fit in a pantomime slot for kids - it has some of the themes, but lacks some panto stock characters.) |
Synopsis | Thanks to a shortage of fruit in the castle, the Wicked Queen is forced to enchant a grape to do away with Snow White. Luckily for our heroine, the cat keeps sitting on the spellbooks so things don't work out the way the Queen wanted. And sadly for the handsome Prince, in this version of the tale Jack and his friend the Giant from the beanstalk find Snow White first and wake her with a kiss. The giant becomes the seventh dwarf and Snow White marries Jack, leaving the Prince to head of in search of another Princess to marry. |
