King Arthur and the Knights of the Pantomime Table

by Peter Nuttall

After the King decides not to return from the crusades, a new King must be chosen. Twin brothers Prince Arthur and Prince Percy contest the throne; the Prince who is purest of heart will be able to draw the sword from the stone and become the rightful King. Percy however, tricks Merlin into casting a spell to make his heart purest, ascends the throne and sets about banning fun in the kingdom and attempting to summon an army to protect him. Unfortunately, he summons Falstaff (a clumsy conceited knight), Sleeping Beauty (who spends most of her days dozing), Robin Hood and Peter Pan (who embarrassingly have turned up wearing the same outfit). Robin, Peter and Beauty join Arthur's quest to reinstate fun to the Kingdom and help him to take his place as the rightful King, in return for being sent back to their own Pantomimes.'King Arthur and the Knights of the Pantomime Table' is a fast paced verbal comedy Pantomime for all ages. The script book contains the full script, performance licence for amateur dramatic organisations and full properties list.

About the author

I write about things that make me laugh. I write things I'd like to read if other people had written them. I write about things I know, things I've actually done or been around and involved in. I was Chairman of the Washington Theatre Group which gave me a chance to 'persuade' the group to perform some of the plays I'd scribbled down when I really should have been doing other things. When they were well received by audiences it spurred me on to write more. My first play 'Cinderella and the Pantomime Thief' was published by Lazybee Scripts in 2005.

After writing a few more stage-plays I turned my hand to non-fiction, drawing on my experience as a Complaints Manager for the now sadly defunct MFI (which may or may not have had something to do with the amount of money I gave to customers to pacify their complaints) for my book 'I want to complain : an alternative guide to customer service' which was featured on BBC Radio 4's Susan Calman feature 'The art of Complaining' in December 2011.

I'm grateful to each and every person who buys and reads one of my books. The positive feedback I receive makes every 3am 'must-get-this-chapter-finished' session and 9th cup of coffee of the day worth while.

I'm currently writing a book of 1980s pop facts and the second volume to 'Newcastle United's worst ever players'.
