Aladdin is given a bag of sweets by a stranger but has to run away as the Emperor suspects him of theft as the sweet shop has been burgled and all his favourite jelly babies stolen.<br /><br />Aladdin meets the stranger who gave him the sweets who claims to be the lad&rsquo;s uncle Abanazar, promising to save him from the law in return for retrieving an old lamp from a cave that will help the wizard to do magic tricks. As the cave may be dangerous Abanazar gives Aladdin a lucky ring with pretend power to protect him. Aladdin finds the lamp but no other treasure that his uncle said he may keep, so refuses to hand out the rusty lamp. Angered, Abanazar seals the cave leaving Aladdin to die. But magic happens when the Slave Of The Ring appears and brings to life dancing jewels, then calls on the help of a mate, the Genie Of The Lamp, who appears when Aladdin cleans it. <br /><br />Returning home with the lamp and treasure he summons the gay Genie who arranges presents for the Widow Twankey who wishes for a plate of faggots and mushy peas. There is a big celebration with dance, song, slapstick comedy routines. Aladdin can now impress the Emperor as he wants to marry his daughter, but the comedy police are mistakenly after him again. The Slave of the ring stops them with an invisible wall, and the Emperor, unhappy with his police sends them to make an inventory of every stone in the Great Wall Of China, but now approves of Aladdin when given enough cash for a shop of jelly babies and agrees to the wedding if Aladdin can provide a sumptuous palace for his daughter. <br /><br />A big party is held in the magic palace including a jelly baby ballet. A merchant, Abanazar in disguise, offers new lamps for old and is given the magic lamp so that he becomes the master plotting to take over from the Emperor, and starts by banishing all the others to an arid desert. Now all lost, the police (now Egyptian!) with a panto Camel. The lucky ring is missing. To find it, audience children are invited to dig in the sand for it, and when found, the Slave magics up a flying carpet to get everyone home. <br /><br />Meanwhile Abanazar is dominating the citizens and drinking too much wine, falls asleep as the others return. A small girl tells them that she saw Abanazar originally rob the sweet shop and she manages to take the lamp from him as he sleeps. The Emperor has Abanazar punished by being put to work in Widow Twanky&rsquo;s laundry while all the others get their wishes before Aladdin releases the Genie from his lamp.<br /><br />Aladdin has a very high content of comedy, slapstick, song and dance with the opportunity for big production numbers, or can be kept simple.<br /><br />Eleven principal characters with minor roles played by chorus plus dancers and children&rsquo;s troupe. Two acts, seven different scenes. Production notes included. </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/go_to_top.gif" style="border-width: 0px;" /> <b class="ProductDetailHeading">Cast Summary</b><br /><br /> Aladdin: 11 principals, minor roles<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/go_to_top.gif" style="border-width: 0px;" /> <b class="ProductDetailHeading">Testimonials</b><br /><br /> 'Eric's scripts bear the creative skills of a pantomime specialist' Carmarthen Journal.<br />'A first-class script... more of the same please' Hereford Pantomime Society. </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img title="Back to Top" src="images/go_to_top.gif" style="border-width: 0px;" /> <b class="ProductDetailHeading">Specifications</b><br /><br /> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width: 90px;">Format: </td> <td>Paperback </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Pages: </td> <td>66 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Dimensions: </td> <td>A5 (148mm width x 210mm height) </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Publisher: </td> <td>Jasper Publishing </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Published: </td> <td>1998 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Language: </td> <td>English </td> </tr> <tr> <td>ISBN: </td> <td>1 902837 14 2 </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <img src="images/square_icon.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="Index.html">Home</a>&nbsp; <img src="images/square_icon.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="http://www.jasperpublishing.com/">Ajax website</a>&nbsp; <img src="images/square_icon.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="http://www.jasperpublishing.com/NonAjax/">NonAjax website</a>&nbsp; <br /><br /> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
