Introducing pantomime -- Defining your market -- Learning the conventions -- Choosing and developing a plot -- Developing the characters -- Putting in the magic and music -- Putting in the comedy -- Planning and synopsis -- Writing scene by scene -- Finishing off. There are thousands of pantomimes staged throughout the world every year, the majority in Britain. Most groups, whether they be amateur drama societies, schools, women's institutes or village hall committees are constantly on the lookout for fresh and original scripts. This is often a matter of economics, as professional pantomimes can be expensive in terms of performing rights, let alone the cost of scripts themselves. Wheter you want to wirte a pantomime for your school or community production or for mass publication, this book will teach you how to choose and develop both plot and characters within the conventions, and how to blend magic, music and comedy to create an entertaining script.
