Sleeping Jack Whittington and the Seven Bears - A Pantomime

Jacqueline is very keen to be in a pantomime but the teacher she approaches refers her sarcastically to her fairy godmother who immediately appears and escorts her through a whole series of episodes, each emanating from a different story - a complete "Cook's Tour of Pantoland", so exhausting that everyone is delighted when it is finally over. The traditional "panto jokes" are here in plenty but there are many others too and the piece moves at a cracking pace. It is well suited for casts of almost any size, provided that they have energy and enthusiasm.

Cast : 38 speaking parts (several variable m/f and with doubling possible) + crowd. Suggested Age Range : 8 to 13 but could extend upwards. Running Time : 90 minutes + interval - Music : Various well-known songs and parodies plus incidental music; accompaniment could be piano or small band - percussion especially advantageous. Set : "General" pantomime set with variants as required.
