Mr Scrooge: The Pantomime
Author: Brian Luff
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244413835
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
Based on "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, this fresh, funny new version of Scrooge, by Channel 4 comedy writer Brian Luff, takes the much-loved Christmas story and turns it into a traditional British pantomime. While staying true to the original story, and using lots of the original dialogue, the script includes plenty of snappy banter, knockabout humour, audience participation and slick, modern comedy routines. The production requires a very large cast with lots of parts for children. It features Mrs Fezziwig as the panto dame and an hilarious double act called McKinley & Maconie - a couple of out of work actors turned charity fundraisers. There's a messy slapstick "grape treading" routine with Mr & Mrs Fezziwig during Scrooge's journey with the Ghost of Christmas Present and the part of Jacob Marley's ghost is ideal for a comedian. Have a very Merry Christmas with Mr Scrooge!

There are thousands of pantomimes staged throughout the world every year, most of them in Britain. Most groups, whether they be amateur drama societies, schools, Women's Institutes or Village Hall committees are constantly on the lookout for something fresh and original. This is often a matter of economics, as professional pantomimes can be costly in terms of performing rights, let alone the cost of scripts. This book is aimed at those people who take part in this increasingly popular hobby, and at the writer who wishes to write a pantomime, either for a local group, or, indeed, for mass publication.
