Dear Theatre Group or Society,
Now the panto season is almost over, you are probably thinking about next year and what delight you can put before your audience. Perhaps, something a little bit different might appeal to you and your patrons.
My pantomime scripts are borne from 40 years of treading the boards and working as a director/producer as well as back stage in a variety of roles.
Each script is a traditional family pantomime, with laughs aloud for both children and adults.
Full stage direction is included, in all scripts, along with song suggestions, props list and lighting plot.
I recognise that amateur theatre groups need to adapt scripts to suit their needs and I am happy to accept that changes to accommodate group members and the local audience will be necessary.
I would be happy to supply a reading script in .pdf format for you to read and enjoy free of charge. Just email peter.travell@btopenworld.com with your request.
Please let me know which title you would like to read along with the name of your group or society and your contact details.
If you would like to see more details including fee and licence information please visit www.travellfamily.co.uk where you will find full details.
