Pantomime Pieces

£9.95

If you are a producer of pantomime, you will sometimes need a front-of-tabs routine to accommodate the storyline or to allow for some casting difficulty that the scriptwriter could not have foreseen.

If you recognise any of the above situations, then this book may prove to be your best buy. It contains over fifty standalone comic scenes, gags, routines, and pantomime knockabout routines to help you create a successful pantomime script or a winning production.

All of the routines have been audience-tested and most of them could be used or adapted for use in almost any pantomime story.

Although each of these fifty routines are complete in themselves, within them you may well find some piece of nonsense or gem of a comic idea that would be perfect for your cast or your plot.
