Panto for Beginners - Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Go Back to the Theatre - Pantomimes and Plays for Schools, Classrooms and Theatres (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781904312963)

If you are looking for a simple and easy way to prepare a play or pantomime then this is the book for you. With readymade stories that can be easily updated to suit your performance this is more than a 'how to' book - it gets you most of the way there. Whether you are looking to put on a simple play inside the classroom to create an engaging and empowering lesson for children, or whether you want to prepare one to perform in front of others, Hugh Cooke's simple and wittylayout makes it easy. These pantomimes/plays have developed a long tradition in schools and theatres over the years - the names of the characters may have been changed, and there have been plot twists and dialogue added, but the participants are all looking for the same thing - to get to the fun bit of practising and performing quickly instead of spending hours learning by trial and error. Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back Into The Theatre will allow you all the excitement and joy of the pantomime without the pain and frustration.
