Familiar Stories, Unfamiliar Pantomime Scripts
Unusual here means the titles outside the handful every society reaches for first. The stories are genuine pantomime and fairy tale classics, with nothing experimental about them, but most audiences know them from a book or a film rather than from a pantomime. They arrive without a version in mind to measure yours against. Each runs a full two acts with an interval, at around two hours of playing time, so nothing about the shape of the evening is unfamiliar either.
Unusual Pantomime Script Titles
Alice in Wonderland Pantomime Script
Rarely staged as a pantomime, so nobody arrives with a fixed idea of how it should go. Your Queen of Hearts gets real menace, your Dame gets a very funny tart-making scene, and the Ensemble become the playing-card chorus.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears Pantomime Script
Goldilocks is one of the more recent additions to the panto canon, and this version swaps the cottage in the woods for a Big Top, with a struggling circus, a rival owner plotting a takeover, and two clowns building all evening to one very silly custard joke.
Hansel and Gretel Pantomime Script
A story everyone knows, and one most audiences have never seen on a stage. Dame Kitty Kipling's obsession with baking sets the tone long before Griselda the witch turns up, and eight principals cover a full rescue mission through the forest.
The Little Mermaid Pantomime Script
Familiar as a story, unfamiliar as a pantomime, so your audience gets something they recognise staged in a way they have not seen. A Dame who moonlights as a singing teacher, and two hench-fish who know far too much about the multiverse.
Pinocchio Pantomime Script
A toy competition, a schoolroom, a circus and a whale, which is more locations than most panto scripts attempt. Dame Geppetto is an original take on the role, and the rivalry between Fairy Liquid and Fairy Solid runs the whole way through.
Rapunzel Pantomime Script
Quiffendale gives you a chaotic hair salon, a talking rabbit called Rascal, and Gothel, a villain whose vanity does most of the comic work. A towering script full of hair and hare jokes, built around a title your audience knows without knowing how it plays.
