D.A.D.S. recreate the story of Aladdin in this fun pantomime which was adapted for the society by Michael Walker, Tony Cannings and Phil Travis.
Mayhem ensues in China when the wicked Abanaza, seeking the magic lamp with its powerful Genie which will enable him to rule the world, is distracted by the beautiful Princess Martini, daughter of the Emperor, who he is determined to marry. To find the lamp he needs the assistance of Aladdin, younger son of Widow Twanky (a local washerwoman) but his plans are put in disarray when Aladdin himself falls for the Princess. To win her, Aladdin needs to get rich quick and the wicked Abanaza unwittingly provides the key.
Their adventures take them to an isolated cave where the less powerful but friendly Genie of the Ring makes her appearance as Aladdin’s guide and helper. The Princess however is captured and whisked away to a dungeon ‘overseas’ hotly pursued by Aladdin and his family and friends.
Caught up in the general confusion are Aladdin’s elder brother Wishy-Washy, a hen-pecked Emperor and his dominating Empress, Abanaza’s assistant Won Tun, two of the local police Wy Yoo and Hoo Mee, the Princess’s lady in waiting Ting-a-Ling, a pompous Major Domo, groups of traders, courtiers, skeletons and guards, together with Wishy-Washy’s pet panda, forever on the lookout for bamboo shoots.
Will Abanaza succeed or will he be thwarted by Aladdin?
