This is a traditional pantomime story of Aladdin but with a modern twist - the plot is littered (a good word) with computer jokes, and your audience is challenged at the start to cheer, jeer and boo whenever they hear one. Evil Cabanazar and his Austin Powers "mini-me" style lookalike are after the magic lamp and dupe Aladdin to get it for them. But Aladdin won't give it up without a fight. His eyes are set on the beautiful Princess Jasmine and definitely not her overweight ugly sister Princess Wontun. Aladdin is helped in his quest by Wishee and the Widow Twankee and hampered by the efforts of the clumsy palace guards Sweet and Sour.
Author's Notes Two themes here - the 100 Nights basic story embellished by some truly awful computer jokes. For example, they want to get into the Palace, so they use - wait for it - the Enter Key! The audience is invited to spot as many of these jokes as possible and shout out something relevant - say "Aladdin". Now that should cause mayhem when Aladdin's supposed to be hiding.

have recently started adding production photos, posters, etc. If your
group has done this play and have any I can use, please contact me. |
