Book Description
This colourful, lively version of the traditional story is set in Nursery Rhyme Land. The King and Queen want to retire, and Humpty Dumpty is all set to take over as King. The wicked Knave, however, has other ideas. When the Queen's newly baked tarts are stolen, the Knave sets Humpty up as the thief. Humpty is banished to the top of the tower where he falls off the wall. The King's horses and the King's men try to put him back together again, but they can't succeed. It takes Jack and Jill, Simple Simon and all the boys and girls in the audience to bring about a happy ending where Humpty is fully restored and justice is done. Great fun for young children and all the family, this is a wonderful read in itself - and for those interested in performance, there is nothing more to pay for amateur rights which are included in the price of the book. (See publishers' page for details.)

The King's Jester
Author: Barry Anthony
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857731041
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Who was Dan Leno? In 1901 everyone in Britain knew who he was. They had seen him live on the music hall stage, listened to his jokes on the new gramophone and watched his funny antics in some of the earliest moving pictures. Even King Edward VII was a fan and the popular press dubbed Dan Leno 'The King's Jester'. But his path to fame was a hard one: he journeyed from being a child performer in the London and Liverpool slums to a chaotic career in hard-bitten northern variety theatres. Dan became the nation's favourite comedian, but as one of the first mass media stars he suffered from this continual exposure and died at the early age of forty three. Drawing on many previously unused sources, this is first, authoritative, biography of Dan Leno. Only Charlie Chaplin, often compared to Dan in style and appearance, was to occupy a similar position in the hearts of the British public. In telling the full story of Dan's life and career on the stage and screen, Barry Anthony brings to life the everyday life of Victorian Britain, as well as Dan's unique brand of humour and its resonance with later comedians such as Spike Milligan and the Monty Python team.

Pages : 78
Book Description
"If I could work my will," said Scrooge indignantly, "every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!"In this cleverly abridged version of Charles Dickens' heart-warming story of the mean-spirited and curmudgeonly Ebenezer Scrooge who is transformed by several ghostly overnight encounters, the narrative has been adapted for use as a solo theatrical performance. This is a terrific one-man show that can be enjoyed by people of all ages."I have endeavoured in this ghostly little book, to raise the ghost of an idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no-one wish to lay it." So said Charles Dickens in the preface to A Christmas Carol, when it was first published in 1843. Now it can be performed for a whole new generation to enjoy, in this captivating and involving one-person adaptation by professional theatre producer Derek Grant.
