Aladdin
Written by Andy Smith
Step into the dazzling world of mystical Persia with Aladdin, one of our more traditional-style pantomimes. This laugh-out-loud script is packed with all the ingredients needed for a first-class production of the beloved rags-to-riches story.
The plot follows the cunning magician Abanazar and his hapless sidekick, Keith the Thief, as they uncover the secret to ultimate power: a magical lamp hidden in the Cave of a Thousand Treasures. Their plan? To trick the "Chosen One" into retrieving it for them.
Meanwhile, young Aladdin dreams of a life beyond his humble beginnings and dares to imagine winning the heart of the beautiful Princess Layla. But could a penniless dreamer ever capture the love of the Sultan Sultana’s daughter?
Bursting with side-splitting comedy from the flamboyant Widow Twankey and the ever-silly Wishy Washy, this modern script guarantees plenty of audience participation, slapstick chaos, and traditional pantomime fun. A must-have for anyone looking to bring this timeless adventure to life!

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!
