"Thanks very much for providing the script for Pinocchio. We loved it and our audience did too! We thought the script was very well written and had plenty of jokes, some very clever! The story flowed really well and the characters were fabulous with lots of witty puns and quips! I would definitely consider using another one of your scripts and would recommend Nick Lawrence Pantomimes to other groups too."
Sian Grey, Churt Amateur Dramatics on Pinocchio
"My experience with Nick has been fantastic. His communication has been brilliant. He's been helpful the whole way through this process and I would most definitely deal with him again. Our show was a real success with sold-out audiences and a very good adjudication report, so I am very pleased that I chose this script."
Vicki Singleton, Ilminster Entertainment Society on Snow White
"Your script was so easy to work with. Bringing your hilarious script to life has been an absolute joy, thank you!”
Rebecca Szoltysek, KYTG on Rapunzel
"Such a great script! We have thoroughly enjoyed rehearsing and found it to be one of the most inherently funny ones we've read. Usually they are quite old and/or have very few real jokes, so we have to work hard at creating humour with visual stuff and nonsense, so to be able to start with something that is already funny is even better. We will certainly be in touch for another."
Neil Francis, Barns Green Players on Peter Pan
Goldilocks and the Three Bears - Branching Out Drama Society
"I loved the script. It had a clear storyline, great jokes and gave enough scope to add local places in. I was able to add our own music and a few extra characters to accommodate our inclusive group. Nick made the process of ordering the script and personal contact a very easy and pleasant experience and that helped immensely."
Mandyrae Jessey, Branching Out Drama Society on Goldilocks and the Three Bears
"I wholeheartedly recommend performing one of Nick's scripts. I chose this script as it is a traditional panto script with all the usual panto contents and gags. This proved to be a very good choice for both our cast and audiences who loved it. Since we're a small adult AmDram group, I made a few minor adjustments, and Nick was incredibly helpful to me with this. The overall audience reaction was fantastic — many saying it's the best panto we've ever done. To summarise, the consensus was that the script suited our requirements perfectly, and so much so, we'll be doing a Nick Lawrence Pantomimes script again next year!"
Lynn Davies, St Bernadette's Parish Players on Hansel & Gretel
"The panto was absolutely brilliant! We totally loved the script which was a solid foundation to our show. The whole cast enjoyed it, especially some newer members, and it was well received by our audience every single night. Thanks again!"
Brian Walton-Smith, AdLib Community Theatre Project on Jack & the Beanstalk
"Such a great script! We have thoroughly enjoyed rehearsing and found it to be one of the most inherently funny ones we've read. Usually they are quite old and/or have very few real jokes, so we have to work hard at creating humour with visual stuff and nonsense, so to be able to start with something that is already funny is even better. We will certainly be in touch for another."
Neil Francis, Barns Green Players on Peter Pan
"As a group based in the USA your script was a nice entry point for us. Our audiences were unfamiliar with British Pantomime, but the fun and purposefully terrible puns were great! Once our cast understood the panto genre and the no-holds-barred approach this material needs, they were riotously funny and everyone enjoyed it! (We even had some Brits attend who told me how much they loved it and that we captured the panto spirit.) Thank you so much for the fun script and the great support and follow-through!"
Steven David Martin, Raven Players on Cinderella
“Thanks so much for the script. We had a great performance week with a number of sold out performances, so were completely delighted!”
Laura Erskine, PC Players on Hansel & Gretel
"The panto went down a storm! The audience loved it and we sold out! I chose Jack and the Beanstalk partly because of Rowena, a twist on the traditional story. Overheard audience comments: "it was brilliant, can we come again", "the best one yet" and "who needs the West End, it was a triumph!" I would definitely recommend this script to other groups."
Katie Harlow, Billinghay Amateur Dramatics on Jack and the Beanstalk
"I just wanted to take the time to tell you how amazing our production of Rapunzel was. We had a ball putting it on and the audience loved it. All the cast were amazing. We had a brand new dame, who really went down well. Rapunzel and Gothel were brilliant as were the rest of the cast. Our juniors were the best we've had in a long time. It went down a storm with the audience!”
Mags Smart, Act Two Theatre Company on Rapunzel
Hansel & Gretel - PC Players
"We had a wonderful time rehearsing and performing Hansel and Gretel and the audience certainly enjoyed it! We really liked the script; we've found some we've done to be too long, whereas this was just right for us."
Izzy Bateman, The Castle Players on Hansel and Gretel
"What we loved most about your script is the frequency of jokes. It had all the classic panto bits with plenty of gags, some hilariously funny and others dad-joke bad! We appreciated that you didn't include outdated and unfunny tropes and thought your take on the Genie was very clever! Thanks again — I will be in touch for another script in the future!"
Barbra Sharpe, CATS Pantomime Society on Aladdin
"Our group disbanded after Covid as we were short on both members and money. We set about reviving the group and initially found it hard to find a script with a small cast but yours was perfect for the number we had. Everyone really enjoyed it and the audiences got involved in the call-backs, the ghost scene and the songsheet at the end. All in all, a super script."
Lucy Lambert, St Mary's Players on Beauty & the Beast
