Other Scripts

This new section will feature scripts that don't come under the category of Pantomime, but are still very suitable as seasonal entertainment. 
The first script available, "Entertaining Angels", has been written by Alistair Ferguson and has been
freely adapted from “The Wakefield Second Shepherds’ Pageant”.

Entertaining Angels
A Christmas Entertainment
by 
Alistair Ferguson

It’s getting near to Christmas and “The Jongleur’s Travelling Circus” is suffering from declining audiences. Kids seem to be more interested in staying at home with their “Playstations” and computer games than going out to the circus. Then some of the clowns come up with an idea. Why not stage their own version of the Nativity, using their well-honed clowning skills and the skills of the other Artistes in the circus - which could bring in audiences who seldom go to see their kind of show? The Boss, Mike Gabriel, will have none of it as he has problems of his own too and anyway, who needs “religion”? His estranged daughter has a new baby and an unemployed husband who’s older than her father! Mike is initially reluctant to get involved; that is until he gets the best advice available from an other-worldly stranger. Loosely based upon the 15th century Miracle Play, “The Second Wakefield Shepherds’ Pageant”, this new play aimed at a Family Audience looks at how Mike reconciles himself with his daughter and how, with the help of the stranger, he, his daughter and the Circus get a new lease of life through the Miracle of Christmas.
