This is a traditional children's family pantomime suitable for performance at any time of the year. Roy Byrom's new version of this classic fairy tale delightfully embraces all the key elements of the genre, from song and dance and set pieces to verbal comedy and slapstick in a subtle segue from tradition to originality. A highly entertaining theatrical experience is guaranteed by the carefully crafted script featuring all the audience's favourites, from the eponymous anthropomorphic protagonist famously outwitting a shape-shifting ogre to the colourful array of characters driven mercilessly by the inevitable progression of the plot line to a happy end. This acting edition contains the complete script and full stage directions and is typeset in a practical and easy-to-read format. CASTING: Large, flexible cast
