Cinderella, the sequel

    by Jackie Staite



Panto Script: 'Cinderella, the sequel' by Jackie Staite

Synopsis

If you've already done 'Cinderella' and your audience would like to know what happens next, or if you want a pantomime which is up-to-date, original and different, this could be the one for you.

It starts with the Fairy Godmother and her husband discussing Cinderella. The Fairy Godmother is very put out because after all her hard work, Cinderella does not want to marry the prince; she thinks he is too boring. 

Cinderella’s plan is to run away to join a pirate ship (disguised as a boy, of course) with her faithful friend Press Stud. All the old characters, such as Baron Hardup, the stepmother, the ugly sisters, the Prince and Dan O’Deeny, (his Irish companion), follow her to bring her back, and the Fairy Godmother goes along to see fair play.


On board ship, Cinderella meets some interesting new characters, such as the swashbuckling pirate chief, the Earl of Sandwich and his wife, their well-endowed daughter Eglantine, and even some nasty characters such as the Old Man of the Sea.

She is warned that the prince will recognise her, so she remains in disguise, but the prince becomes attached to Eglantine, who is too wrapped up in herself to find him boring. Cinderella is attracted to the handsome pirate chief, who guesses who she is and reveals her true identity.

The ship sails to Mexico where pretty girls, rival bandit gangs and lots more adventures await all our characters. There is hidden treasure, but the pirate chief and an old girlfriend steal it. The bandits therefore decide to capture and marry an heiress but when everyone is wearing mantillas, who can tell who is who? The ugly sisters are in for a big surprise, and yes, Cinderella does find true happiness, but not quite in the way we expect.

Twists and turns, humour and thrills abound in this original and bang up-to-date pantomime, which is easily staged with only two basic sets.
