STRICTLY FOR GROWN-UPS

Adult Pantomime
Scripts

Written by Lisa Anslow

18+  These scripts are not the family shows

Everything on this page is written for adult casts and adult audiences — bawdy humour, innuendo and language that would have the front three rows of a family matinee writing letters. Licences for these titles are issued on the understanding that the production is cast, staged and advertised as an 18+ show.

Looking for the traditional family pantomimes instead? They're over here.

THE ADULT PANTOMIMES

Available for licensing

Same panto bones — the dame, the audience participation, the groan-worthy gags — with the handbrake off. Written for adult companies, late-night slots, and fundraisers where the bar stays open.

18 Robin’s Hood & The Very Merry Men

Robin’s Hood & The Very Merry Men

APPROX. 2 HRS + INTERVAL  ·  TWO ACTS

The Sheriff of Nottingham has the town taxed down to its underwear and his eye on Maid Marian, who is having absolutely none of it. Out in Sherwood, Robin and the Merry Men are living rough, living loud, and relieving the rich of their valuables. Then the King announces an archery tournament, and the Sheriff spots his chance to trap Robin once and for all. Whether he manages it is quite another matter.

“Come on then, my lovelies — chins up, hearts strong, pants secure, and if anything pops out, it’s all part of the choreography!” — Nanny Nora

Adult titles are licensed on condition that the production is advertised as 18+ and that no performer under 18 appears in the cast.

Please note: songs suggested in the scripts are subject to their own copyright. Song choices, lyrics, and arrangements may need to be altered for your production — get in touch to discuss options we've used before.

Script edits are available to suit your group. Small adjustments — such as removing a character and redistributing their lines, or toning down particular gags — are done free of charge. Larger adaptations may incur a small additional fee depending on scope.
