ALADDIN PANTO SCRIPT (VERSION 2) EXCERPT
ALADDIN has been showing his Mum, GERTIE (the Dame) around his new palace, together with SIDNEY (his brother) and the PRINCESS…

GERTIE:
PRINCESS:
GERTIE:
Yes, Mum, it’s lovely.
You’re right, Sidney. It’s lovely. He’s right, isn’t he, Jasmine
Yes, Mrs Mahmoud, it’s lovely.
You took the words right out of my mouth, Jasmine! It is lovely. It really is. Just lovely!
ALADDIN:
GERTIE:
So, you like it, Mum?
It’s lovely. (Lifts lid on Glove Puppet FAZIL’S basket, which is on a small table.)
(We hear a loud snore.)
Oh, isn’t that sweet… It’s just like home, with a little pet snake and everything! It’s lovely, lovely, lovely - and I love it, love it, love it!!! Just one little, teeny, tiny thing, Aladdin…
ALADDIN:
GERTIE:
ALADDIN:
GERTIE:
What’s that?
Well - it’s not very English, is it?
It’s the biggest, most perfect palace in all of Arabia!
I know, but it’s just not very English. I’m going to miss the old Grubberie. It may have been a bit tatty and not very fashionable, but it was mine and it was home! (Bursts into noisy tears.)
SIDNEY:
GERTIE:
ALADDIN:
GERTIE:
PRINCESS:
GERTIE:
Oh, Mum! Please cheer up – you know I hate to see you cry!
I know! I know! You’re such a sweet boy!
You haven’t seen your bedroom yet.
I don’t want to see my bedroom!
Or your special herb scented room for reverie.
I never asked for a special herb scented room for reverie – it’s smelly!!!

Well, what can we do to make you feel better?
Absolutely NOTHING!!! (Uncontrollable tears.)
There must be something, Mum?
No…! No…! No…!
What do you mean, no, no, no, Mum?
I mean - No…! No…! No…!
I meant – isn’t there something we can do?
Absolutely nothing. Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Nothing? Nothing? Nothing?
Yes, I mean - Nothing! Nothing! Nothing…!
