Pinocchio Pantomime Script
Home > Pantomime Scripts > Scripts for Medium Casts > Pinocchio
The good fairy is called Fairy Liquid. The bad one is Fairy Solid. That’s roughly the level of it, and it doesn’t let up.
When Fairy Solid sends Cat and Fox to interfere at the Great Pantoland Toy Competition, Dame Geppetto's puppet boy, Pinocchio, runs away at the first opportunity. From here it’s a rescue mission to save him which includes Flummox, an announcer with a booming voice which is a great role for a character comic.
In her workshop, Dame Geppetto carves Pinocchio on stage, one limb at a time, and the two hands she makes first go on to perform a card trick with Fairy Liquid, using a card picked by somebody in the audience. There's a schoolhouse, a circus with three donkeys, and the inside of a whale still to come.

Pinocchio Pantomime Script Excerpt
RONNIE and the ENSEMBLE are gathered in the Town Square. FLUMMOX’S voice booms from offstage.
FLUMMOX: (Off) Attention everybody! The Mayor of Pantoland is coming to make an announcement!
RONNIE: That’s Flummox, the Mayoral announcer. He’s louder than a bright pink shirt, but he keeps the Mayor on track and everything running smoothly.
FLUMMOX enters.
FLUMMOX: Make way, make way! For the Mayor is coming to make an announcement!
The MAYOR enters smiling and shaking hands with the ENSEMBLE as he greets them.
MAYOR: Thank you. Hello everyone.
ENSEMBLE: Hello Mr Mayor!/How are you?/Good to see you/etc.
FLUMMOX: Silence for the Mayor, so you can hear his announcement!
MAYOR: Yes, thank you Flummox.
The MAYOR coughs to clear his throat. FLUMMOX interrupts him.
FLUMMOX: No coughing, spluttering or sneezing for the Mayor is about to make an announcement!
MAYOR: Will you stop shouting, I’m trying to speak.
FLUMMOX: No shouting for the Mayor is trying to make an announcement!
MAYOR: Will you please be quiet!
Everyone stares at FLUMMOX expectantly. He finally gets it and steps aside sheepishly.
MAYOR: Thank you. It is wonderful to see so many of you gathered here today as I have some good news...
The ENSEMBLE cheer.
MAYOR: And some bad news.
The ENSEMBLE boo.
MAYOR: First the bad news - due to the climate emergency it is henceforth forbidden to cut down trees in the Great Forest. Anyone found doing so will be sent to prison immediately!
ENSEMBLE 1: So no more tree felling equipment?
MAYOR: Precisely.
ENSEMBLE 2: You’re cutting back on clippers?
ENSEMBLE 3: You won’t be seeing saws?
ENSEMBLE 4: You’re axing axes?
MAYOR: Yes, yes and yes. If we don’t make some drastic changes then Jack won’t be able to grow his beanstalk!
