-
Nick Lawrence Pantomimes scripts are written by someone who has spent years performing, directing and producing theatre - so they're built to work on stage, not just on the page.
Every script is original, comedy-led, and designed to give your whole cast great moments, from the Dame to your Ensemble. They run to approximately two hours, need no original songs, and come with the flexibility to make them your own.
