The
following original Pantomime Scripts available for performance:
- Ali
Baba and the Forty Thieves
- The
well known story of skulduggery by Ali Baba and his band of Forty
(or in our case fourteen) Thieves in the cave and how the beautiful
slave girl, Morgiana, performs the dance of revelation (of
the villain). Please note that the more blood thirsty aspects of
the original story have been toned down to make it a production
fit for all ages.
- Hiawatha
- How
Hiawatha's bravery in the face of adversity wins the hand of the
daughter of the neighbouring tribe's Chieftain, with more than a
little bit of help form a couple of beavers.
- Dick
Whittington
- The
traditional story of a cat and his master, lured to the bright city
lights for fame and fortune. Not to be forgotten is their
ship being wrecked on a South Sea Island and the beautiful grass
skirted maidens to be met there.
- The
Viking and I
- Doing
for the Norse invaders what Yul Brynner did for the Siamese. Anna
and the tap dancing reindeer shed new light on the lives and loves
of these fearless warriors. Somehow the three bears got in
on the act, as did the Ugly Duckling.
- The
Sleeping Beauty
- The
Prince has more than a bit of hedge trimming to do to win the hand
of the somnolent Princess Arora. That there happened to be three
other princes, accompanied by the pages - Front Page, Back Page
and Blank Page, intent on reaching Arora first, adds to the tension,
but thanks to the rather scatty, gardening mad, Fairy Lilac a satisfactory
outcome is finally reached - or is it? The next production revealed
that all might not have been as it seemd...
- 2000.1
A Space Oddity
- Remember
the Millennium Bug? One such faulty computer chip turns the holographic
image of Luke Sky Talker's girlfriend into something more like Mrs
T. In search of a remedy, his time travel adds a previously unknown
twist to the tale of The Sleeping Beauty.
- McSplash!
- A
highland fling when Nessy meets the Mermaid and the local laird
re-thinks his wedding plans. A fishy tail to the end.
All
scripts were co-written by Bill and Alison Colombi and first performed
by The Nunthorpe Players.
The authors are grateful for the patience of The Players in allowing
themselves to be used as guinea pigs for the each new creative outpouring.
All
scripts (traditional stories or original) contain the traditional
pantomime elements such as Principal boy and girl, the Dame, the Villain
and his/her henchmen, and usually an animal or two. Good triumphs
over evil, pardon is sought and is magnanimously granted.
As
far as possible the Chorus/Dancers are integral to the story line
and all characters get a reasonable spread of on-stage appearances
throughout the show. Topicality and localisation are always key elements
to success, and help with adaptation is available.
