Pantomime 6-page script (Little Red Riding Hood)
Review - serwah3 said: I purchased the Red Riding Hood panto script and used it as a scripted performance with my year 10s. Everyone loved it. Well written, funny and clever. 100% recommend!
Are you looking for an end of term performance which your pupils and teachers will love?!
This short 6-page / 9 character script was originally written as a staff pantomime production, however it could easily be performed by a group of young actors as part of a presentation evening and/or Drama Club.
Lots of fun for actors and audience is guaranteed - enjoy! :)

Welcome to the perfect compliment for the Darkwood Manor story!
Full of interesting activities, voice-overs and spine-chilling music; these detailed powerpoints and videos will take your delivery of Darkwood Manor to the next level and help further establish the gothic tone.
During remote learning in 2020, I created videos to introduce each upcoming lesson, which inspired the story of Darkwood to go in new and interesting directions, especially at a time when we could not be face-to-face. It was an excellent tool for engaging pupils in an innovative way and each week they started the lesson excited to hear what was coming next - hope you like them.
