Aladdin
Written by Andy Smith
One of our more traditional style pantomime scripts. This funny script provides all the necessary ingredients for a first-class production of this famous rags-to-riches tale set in mystical Persia. 'Abanazar', an evil magician and his faithful minion 'Keith the Thief' has discovered the secret to becoming the most powerful human on earth. All they need to do is to convince the chosen one to enter the Cave of a Thousand Treasures to retrieve a magical lamp. Meanwhile young Aladdin dreams of marrying the beautiful Princess Layla but could a penniless nobody ever hope to have the love of the daughter of the Sultan Sultana?
Bursting with comedy, courtesy of the extravagant Widow Twankey and the silly Wishy Washy this brilliant modern script provides ample opportunity for audience participation, slapstick mayhem and traditional pantomime fun.

Script
Sample
Wishy Washy - I bought an awesome flashy thing. Look.
Twankey - Well, what have you got that for? How am I supposed to clean clothes with a little flashy toy? You really are useless, aren't you? Here. Fix this washing machine instead, would you? The problem is inside the drum. Something is jamming it.
Wishy Washy - No worries, Mum. I’ll find out what's jamming it.
Wishy climbs into the washing machine.
Wishy Washy - I'll be back out in a minute.
Wishy Washy reaches an arm out and closes the door behind him.
Twankey - Wishy, wait, don't...
The washing machine starts up.
Twankey - Now don't panic children. And definitely don't try this at home. My Wishy is a trained idiot!
The washing machine stops, and the door opens.
Twankey - Did you find what jammed it?
Wishy Washy - I did find what jammed it.
Twankey - So, what jammed it?
Wishy Washy sticks his hand through the door, holding jar of Jam.
Wishy Washy - Jam!
Twankey - A jam jar. But how on earth did that get in there? Oh no. Wishy. Climb out of the washing machine please. There's a sentence I never thought I would say. Again.
Wishy Washy - Coming mum.
Wishy Washy climbs out of the washing machine with wet hair
Twankey – Right, come on now Wishy that's enough. There is lots of work to be done. I’ve lost a lot of time already after I went to the doctors this morning.
Wishy Washy – I didn’t know you went to the doctors?
Twankey – Yes, I went about my big weight gain over the last few days.
Wishy Washy – Oh have you put on weight?
Twankey – Yes, I suddenly gained 4 pounds this week! So, I went to the doctor for some advice, he said ‘don’t eat anything fatty’.
Wishy Washy: I think he meant don’t eat anything. FATTY!
Twankey: Oh, you cheeky boy!
