Miss Peggy Hughes' Script for the Buckley Amateur Pantomime Company's Production of Aladdin"

January 1934

This script is three pages long and covers Act 3 Scenes 1 and 2, which is the finale.

The script varies in style depending on the characters speaking.

For example: the sublime!

Princess:

My father pronounced a Royal decree that he who found the Magic Lamp should have fortune heaped upon him, and…

Aladdin:

Fortune? Fortune means nothing to me without you.

Princess:

Oh Aladdin. How like my Dream Prince to say that. How happy am I! For not only is fortune so bestowed, but the hand of his daughter!

Aladdin:

Say you truly?

Princess:

Truly I say it Aladdin. Let's haste to break the news. The joyous, wondrous, gladsome news!

******************

And the Gor Blimey!

Widow Twankey:

It's me alright. Isn't it a bit of a corker. There was I in a nice business until I started glad-eyeing men again. It was all right with Toff. I believe I would have nabbed him and had him saying "I will" within a week. Till that Uncle of Aladdin came with his Oxford accent he'd learnt at Penyffordd, and the smart rig-out he'd stolen from Drury Lane Jumble Sale. Oh, I am in a mess. Aladdin and all. (Cries, wrings water from apron).

I'm off to the Palace to see the Sultan. I'll be even with 'em yet. Treating a poor widow woman like that ….etc.
