Pantomimes for Schools
A classic SPLATS double act, a whole cast of fairytale characters — and an audience at the heart of the fun.
For over 30 years, SPLATS has brought laughter, music and mayhem to school halls. Our touring pantomimes combine comic storytelling, memorable characters, original songs and plenty of audience participation.
A Very Funny Fairytale
Our classic double act is loose in a world of fairytales, where nothing goes quite to plan. Magical Story Eyes are passed around the audience, letting the children help shape the story. Add puppets, songs by John Hinton and plenty of comic surprises — and everyone is part of the fun.
Once upon a very funny time…
Welcome to the Fairytale Ingredients Bank!
Glenda Good and Barry Bad have been looking after fairytales for hundreds of years. But when a letter arrives from ten-year-old Polly asking for a very funny fairytale, everything changes.
Enter the magical Story Eyes. Passed around the audience, they give the children the power to make strange and wonderful things happen to the characters.
Big G, Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, a Genie and the Three Bears join the chaos as familiar fairytales get gloriously mixed up.

What to expect
