| A box office winner with great opportunities for principals
& chorus. |
|
| One of the most beautiful and imaginative of all the Quartermain
scripts, this has been described by the press as one of the best 'Sleeping Beauty'
pantomimes ever written. Act 1 is set in the Medieval period, while Act 2 is set
in the 18th Century. This means that although many of the settings are used more
than once - props and dressings have to be changed and aged. Although there are
many magical stage effects the show is not difficult to produce if the stage directions
are followed. Caraboss [possibly the best role in the show] is the strongest of
all 'Witch' roles, that said, there are no less than seven other good female parts
- eight if Valentine is played by a girl - and nine if Aiden is played as a second
Principal Boy as has been done in several Professional Productions. This makes
this an excellent choice of show for those companies with a largely female membership.
Strong comedy actors are also required for the Dame role, Wally & Willy and
the two smaller roles. The Witch Boy is very important and should be able to dance
or move well. |
