CROWD IN PUB AND KING’S PALACE

COSTUMES FOR FIRST SCENE

ARE THE USUAL PANTOMIME VERSIONS OF COUNTRY BOYS AND GIRLS. MRS.

BANGLE SHOULD BE DRESSED AS THE DAME. COSTUMES FOR JU JU AND FRU

FRU SHOULD BE OF THE “HAREM” STYLE.

DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY THE IDEA OF CREATING A “HORSE” THIS

SHOULD BE OF THE PANTOMIME STYLE, IT COULD BE A CHILD’S HOBBY

HORSE HEAD, OR CREATED FROM A CARDBOARD BOX FOR THE HEAD, WITH FEATURES

PAINTED ON IT AND A MANE, MOUNTED ON A BROOMSTICK, WITH A TAIL.

THE BODY IS CREATED BY ANNIE AND FANNIE COVERED IN A BLANKET.

IT CAN BE AS CRUDE OR SOPHISTICATED AS YOU LIKE. THE AUDIENCE

MUST USE SOME IMAGINATION! THE SCENES OF THE HORSE DRILLING AND

DANCING SHOULD BE WELL REHEARSED AND FUNNY.

SCENES MAY BE INDICATED BY PLACARDS SUCH AS “THE PALACE” FOR THE PUB, “THE ISLAND OF INZBINZ (PRONOUNCED “ ‘EINZ BEANS”) AND “KING TUT’S PALACE.”

SONGS ARE SET TO TRADITIONAL TUNES BUT OTHERS MAY BE SUBSTITUTED. DANCES MAY ALSO BE INTRODUCED, SUCH AS IN THE PUB SCENE.
