Author Description

The Pied Piper & The King's Ding-A-Ling is Tim Cashmore's magical chucklefest of a pantomime. This traditional pantomime-style script is a reworking of the familiar tale of the Pied Piper, mixed with contemporary references including Brexit and Donald Trump. There is a huge ding-dong where someone fails to make true on a promise. From then, the plot is stuffed with magic beans, a love potion, revenge, a medical complaint, betrayal, an ever-ringing bell and peals of laughter. The characters include a rude king, an overworked town crier, a crotchety queen, a downtrodden princess and a poor piper. This being panto, all the good characters get what they deserve and all the baddies get what's coming to them too - with bells on! Perfect for friends to read and perform, but equally amusing to read by yourself and laugh at the antics of the hilarious characters.
