Potty Pantos
by Anthony James

Potty Pantos are just that, potty. They are traditional stories with a twist, that little something extra for today’s audiences. Lively and fun they all contain a sprinkling of ‘Oh yes we are, Oh no we’re not’ and the odd ‘It’s behind you’. There is also always a ‘Slap your thigh’ hero and a larger than life Dame. More importantly these shows are specifically created for children, to perform and to watch, although adults too will delight in all the traditions of these simple, hilarious pantomimes.

All Potty Pantos are around 30-45 minutes in length and come with six fabulous songs to perform, an art pack created by the writer himself showing how to create scenery, costumes and props from recycled materials and lots of very bad jokes!

Aladdin's Lump

Aladdin is a good for nothing spotty youth who daydreams his life away. His long suffering mother runs the local laundry. One day an evil magician, Abanaza, appears. He needs someone small enough to squeeze into a small, enchanted cave to retrieve a magic lamp.

Aladdin cannot find the lamp, but does find a lump of rusty, old metal. A furious Abanaza leaves Aladdin to die in the cave. Lost and alone Aladdin discovers the lump’s secret; a Genie appears and releases him. Flying home on a magic carpet Aladdin catches sight of the beautiful princess, Fatima. He persuades the Sultan to allow the marriage, but Abanaza, disguised as the Sultan’s Vizier, nearly wins the day. Will Aladdin live happily ever after?

As a last resort and to the consternation of both Jack’s sister and his girlfriend, Mary Milkmaid, she sends him to town to sell their trusty, milk cow, Esmeralda, at the market.

At the market Jack meets the evil Witch Watt who dupes him into parting with Esmeralda for a strange, egg shaped, magic bean.

This magic bean is not a beanstalk; no it’s something far more ‘Potty’!
