Frankenstein and Mirth
A Pantomime in Two Acts
Frankenstein is up to his old tricks again; making monsters: and
he summons help from a relative in London. Yokels from the
village inn decide to go up to Frankenstein's castle to investigate
the mysterious nocturnal happenings, and discover that Dracula
has turned up, unannounced, bringing more danger to the village
than Frankenstein ever could.
20 speaking parts, with some doubling if required, with a small optional
chorus. This is a new pantomime which offers a witty script, with well
balanced major roles and a number of minor ones. There is provision
for a number of songs that can be chosen by the director, or a song list
can be provided on request.
