Sinbad the Sailor by Stewart Auty
£27.00 incl. zero VAT
The approximate running time of this play is 1 hour.
This is a Stewart Auty pantomime – except it’s not really a pantomime. It has a lot of the features – like a Dame, who appears at the beginning and the end; a simpleton (SoSo Notgood) and songs but that is it really. We have put it under the panto category because it has some audience participation, lots of jokes and songs and we thought it would pass muster as a pantomime. Basically it is the story of some of Sinbad’s voyages, as told by him and his crew to the simpleton, SoSo.
Description
SoSo, trying to hide from his bossy mother (the Dame we mentioned earlier), is invited into Sinbad’s house to hear and see the stories from Sinbad;s many voyages being re-enacted by his crew. As the crew have names like Sailor Way and Sailor Return, you can see why we thought it was a pantomime! There are Kings (two), cannibals, carpenters (yes, we thought that was a bit odd), a treasure-stealing Princess and a lot of sea shanties. A good laugh and a very energetic show!
Running time about 60 minutes.
