Can be performed by as few as four actors with doubling.
Babes in the Wood
Boo the scheming Sir Silas Rottingham, Sheriff of Nottingham, and his henchmen as they plot diabolical deeds to steal the fortunes of the innocent babes, and cheer our dashing hero, Robin Hood and his Merry Men as they do their best to thwart the evil plans!

Cinderella – the short small cast version

Dick Whittington
King Rat is threatening to take over London. Only the penniless but brave Dick Whittington and his trusty feline sidekick, Tiddles, can stop the rodent’s quest for domination!
Aided by the magic of a very cockney Spirit of London, the more down to earth and questionable ‘help’ of his mother, Dame Sarah, and his loyal but brainless pal, ‘Barrow Boy’ Billy, Dick’s adventure takes him from the East End of London to distant tropical shores before the final showdown with the villainous King Rat and his henchrats, Nip and Tuck!
Goldilocks and the 3 Bears
A tale of a girl, three bears and some porridge… and much more! The traditional Goldilocks story is given a new slant in this pantomime tale.
An evil queen bee is up to no good in the woodland, planning global domination for her wicked swarm and now she has a secret weapon – a potent hypno-honey. Soon a battle is underway for control of the wood with Goldilocks and her friends in the thick of it.
Jack and the Beanstalk
A tale of love, adventure and some beans! A gruesome Giant, a wicked Witch, a fabulous Fairy, a brave Hero, the obligatory village Idiot, a daft Dame and, of course, a cute and cuddly cow!
The kingdom is in trouble! Giant Blunderbore and his partner in crime, the evil witch, Poison Ivy are blackmailing the royal family, forcing them to pay protection money or else the Giant will gobble them up! All that stands between the Royals and the Giant’s dinner plate is collection of unreliable misfits!
Knight Fever!
The fair kingdom of Camelot is under threat from the evil Black Knight, and King Arthur, his knights and the magician Merlin seem unable to avert disaster!
But brave Justin, a humble stable boy with dreams to become a Knight of the Roundtable is quick to step into the breach. With the help (or should that be hindrance!) of Lester the court Jester and Dame Doris, he sets off on a quest to free a princess and save the kingdom from disaster.
Mother Goose
Our take on the popular pantomime story: A challenge between the Demon King and Fairy Goosedown embroils Dame Mother Goose and her family in a tale of golden eggs and a search for true beauty!
A host of larger than life characters (Mother Goose, Silly Billy, Jack, Jill, Fairy Goosedown, the Demon king, Bailiffs Nifty and Shifty and Lucy Goose), plenty for the chorus and our usual mix of silliness, songs and slapstick!
Pantostein
The most gruesome pantomime of them all! Follow Boris and Bertha as they investigate creepy goings on in Cemeteria, a mountain top village in the heart of Transylvania, where dark secrets and mad scientists dwell side by side.
Dracula, Dr Frank N Stein and Igor as well as the Werewolf all play their part. All the elements of traditional family entertainment are here: Songs, laughter and unspeakable violence!
Puss in Boots
Jack, the Miller’s son, has been left with just the family cat in his father’s will and although he has great ambitions it is unlikely he will amount to much!
Things soon change with the arrival of his Auntie Hettie and the revelation that Puss can talk (and looks pretty fetching in a pair of boots)!
Scinderella
A unique version of the traditional rags to riches story of Cinderella given the scientific treatment. All the fun of a traditional pantomime show combined with education and learning. The show is designed for a small 5 person cast and is ideal for school performances.
Sinbad the Sailor
Set sail on the seven seas this panto season! A tale of adventure and derring do on the ocean waves.
The peaceful rule of Sultan Pepa is threatened when his scheming, magical sister Halapena banishes the Princess Scheherazade to a far off desert island. Only Sinbad the Sailor, with his trusted pal Mustapha Sickbag and his domineering mother Dame Peony Poopdeck, can save the day!
Sleeping Beauty

Watch this Space!

The distant planet of Nonamia is held in the iron grip of the wicked Queen Evilena. This vain and preening monarch has now taken a dislike to her stepdaughter the beautiful princess Tia Maria and instructs her Henchman , the sinister Raft Raider to dispose of the child!
Who can save her? Perhaps the crew of the starship USS Compromise and an assortment of robots can help?
