The Amazing Adventures of Sherbert Dipp
or
‘Twas the Fright Before Christmas
London; December in the late 1890's. Whilst honeymooning in the capital, the newly wed Princess Cinderella disappears! The only clues appear to be a spinning-wheel, a strange and shadowy figure... and a giant rat! Scotland Yard, headed by the inimitable Inspector McMuddle are baffled. Only one man can solve the mystery - Sherbert Dipp, Ace Detective and Master of disguise! An affectionate spoof on Sherlock Holmes and Traditional Panto, the play takes audiences from the old cobbled streets of Victorian London to the mist shrouded cliffs of the South Coast in an evening of outrageous puns. This script can also be produced as a Victorian Melodrama or Comedy Thriller.
