A Strictly Modern GWD Panto

[Tig]

We used to have stories that members joined in with, thought we could try our hands at a bit of Pantomime?

You can participate as any character just say who as you post, you don't have to stick to the same one, just add what you think is amusing to the ongoing dialogue/storyline and join in once we start.

I've got a few suggestions for characters, but need some help with the lead male and female roles?

Title of the Panto ..... The Quest for the Elusive Glittering Orb

Featuring

Old King Cole (Brendan)
Brucie the ancient court jester
Craig the evil Ogre
Anton the berk
Bruno the excitable poodle
Spies Len Woodman and Claudia Winklepicker
Wicked sisters Alesha & Tess
Mystic Russ the jolly wizard

Please add your suggestions for additional characters and then we can draw back the curtains and let the quest unfold

[Jasmine]

Alex as Rose 'One Show' Red the poor put upon younger daughter looking for her Prince Charming

Prince not so Charming played by James Jordan

[Tig]

Likey those Jas. Shall we call him Prince Jimmy the Uncharming? ;D

[Jasmine]

Prince Jimmy the Uncharming sounds good! ;D

[Missredhead]

Queen Holly Leaf ?

[Tig]

Shall we begin (feel free to add more characters as you think of them and they fit the 'story'

Once upon a time, in a far, far distant land, there ruled a megalomaniac - he lived and breathed ballroom dancing, all his subjects were under constant scrutiny, no dancing no dinner! King Cole wanted to dance with every fair maiden in his domain, and would stop at nothing to ensure that he had the pleasure!

The timid Alex Rose Red hid herself behind the pompous ass Prince Jimmy the Uncharming - weeping softly into her handkerchief she sobbed 'Please don't let them take me to the Tower!' (a hideous arena where all dancers would be thrown to the Lions!)

[Auricula]

The blubbering Alex Rose Red was comforted by the appearance of Chelsee Bun who said "don't worry ARR, I'm here to watch your back. I'm your fairy godmother, even though I'm so humble and don't think I deserve to have such a role. I'll guard you against all the bad fairies ( yes Bruno Ravioli, I'm looking your way) as Prince Jimmy seems preoccupied with flexing his muscles in the mirror. I'll not let them whisk you off to the Tower Ballroom....come with me chuck"

[Tig]

Swoon, swoon ... the relief in ARR's face was immediate, her doey eyes filled with crocodile tears and the clock started ticking .... 'what shall I tell Prince Uncharming? He has me under his thumb, and his knee!' she bleated

[Barbara]

Tell him said the ugly sisters to leave you be or you will get Bruno to lick him all over.

[Amber]

There was a loud pop, a scent of verbena, a flash of pink tights encasing rather large thighs....and "oofle dust" falling from the sky.......it was Russ the Wizard in his panto costume..(.he's playing the Fairy Godmother at the Alambrah in Leeds)..."don't you worry about anything chuck" he said in his dramatic way....waving his wand around flamboyantly.....I have a plan....... i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif

[Tig]

'Forsooth a plan!' said Alex Red Rose as she collapsed in a heap on the ground having swallowed a mouthful of oofle dust. 'What be your plan Oh Mystic Russ?'

No sooner had the words left her mouth than she began yawning! Ohhh no, has some evil ogre cast a sleeping spell on her!! No, no, even worse Brucie the ancient jester has started telling his awful jokes

[carolann]

Jenny the jesters faithful friend was howling with laughter as ARR fell to the ground but Russ the wizard just leap to his feet and said it wasnt me and floated away as big Anne Widdy came flying through the window to see what Jenny was laughing about.

[JennyWrenn]

Me thinks Brucie is falling for me - I shall be a Laydee after all and I have waited 100 years, pouted Jenny

She whacked Anne Widdy with one of her bottles of Garden Feed - which strangely was rather full - and she went whizzing back to the arms of .................................

[Tig]

helped Widdy put on her tights back to front and the elastic waistband had snapped mid-air propelling her into the arms of Old King Cole at a right rate of knots!!! 'Get orf me you 'orrible 'orrible man!' Widdy screamed at Cole 'I am one of the 'great' untouchables doncha know!!!' The Old King was rather taken aback by this outburst, he was more used to laydees falling at his feet and licking his boots, but there was something attractive about the strength of this warrior woman!

At this moment the fairy Godmother was hiding behind a pillar, a plan was hatching in her mind ....

[Missredhead]

She was thinking that if she could send Anton the Berk to help Widdy then maybe....

[Tig]

he would convince her to stop popping up in all the Christmas quiz shows, or better still get an ASBO banning her from entering Blackpool during the festive season! A cunning plan indeedy, but she would need help gathering the evidence she needed! 'I shall employ some spies' she thought, they can follow her around her habitats and catch her in the act of trying to be funny!' So she wrote a cryptic message and sent a pigeon into the woods to find the .........

[Tig]

and as he swung round the dolls legs caught Brucie the jester and he crumpled to a heap on the floor! Out of nowhere a pair of golden tap shoes skipped into the forest clearing and plonked themselves on ...
