The shows all have big casts, loads of great parts, and are ideal for productions by amateur and pro-am theatre groups. The scripts are packed with slick comedy routines, hilarious sketches, messy slapstick and fast, snappy banter.

A superb example of the panto art!” Please note that a license must be obtained before performing any of the scripts in this book. For more information visit pantoscripts.biz
