Our Pantos

    What are you looking for in a Panto script? Lots of fun? Groan-worthy jokes? Those awful puns and familiar routines we all love? Dreadful rhyming couplets? Good old-fashioned slapstick? All the traditional elements blended in a strong story line and laced with an original twist? A complete and utter sense of the ridiculous? 
    Then take a closer look at our offerings.
    Some Pantos like Sherbert Dipp, an affectionate spoof of Sherlock Holmes, are entirely new creations. Others such as Ali Baba and Sleeping Beauty and the Beast are loosely based on Victorian scripts first performed at Edinburgh's Theatre Royal. Cinderella is based on Celtic myths and legends and Sinbad is inspired by tales in the Arabian Nights. More recent scripts like The Snow Queen and The Emperor's New Clothes offer a new slant on the traditional tales of Hand Christian Anderson.
    Since we are both Scottish born and resident, our scripts were originally created for local audiences, but are now available in UK versions suitable anywhere. For Scottish groups or ex-pats, some scripts are still available in Scottish versions. Other scripts can be adapted to suit. Suggested musical numbers and parody lyrics are also availableand all our scripts are regularly updated.
    To find out more, simply click on any Panto title. This will give you a synopsis. Another click will give a list of characters and a sample scene. To view an example of our writing style, click on a sample scene. You could find anything from a Dame's speech to a slapstick routine.
