“…This was one of the best Alan Frayn scripts I have seen – an excellent, traditional, family pantomime. From the very start it took you by the heart and led you through the very funny, warm, energetic and touching adventures of Aladdin. The jokes were funny, the comedy routines hit just the right note and the pace of the whole production was excellent.”

“…I am very familiar with the Alan Frayn scripts, I have used them for my own pantomime for the last 11 years. He does carry out an element of re-write every year to keep the jokes fresh and to avoid stagnation. This is something that you don’t get with other panto providers and contributes to his popularity. In fact, this year virtually all the amateur pantomimes in my NODA district used Frayn scripts.”

“…It was great! Thank you for a wonderful script, the perfect length, it zipped along, told a good story well, nice contrasts, every scene had interest and good scope for creativity! The jokes – wonderfully topical – kept us all laughing from start to finish. The audience loved them.”

"...The company took another well-constructed Alan P Frayn script and made this Aladdin their own. No-one was spared the jokes, from politics to budget airlines. This was panto that had its roots in tradition but also had a techno edge. Yes, there was a generous helping of knock-about characters and a baddie we could not resist booing."

"…In many pantomimes, second-rate scripts are all too often the best that amateur societies can find. Your company was extremely fortunate in finding and performing one of the best scripts I personally have seen! The very good script helped this pantomime tremendously. The humour wasn’t, as it is so often, corny, but was amusing and current. No wonder you had sell out houses!”

"…Your script has really stood the test of fun and comedy because even up to, and including, the final dress rehearsal the cast themselves were still laughing at the jokes!! Normally, of course, by that stage all the jokes have worn a bit thin! However, not your wonderfully funny script!!”

"…This pantomime, was to me, the icing on the cake! Here we had the traditional story of 'Aladdin' by Alan P Frayn, but with a very modern twist, making it ideal both for younger and older audiences and extremely well received the evening I attended – a stunning pantomime, very professional and so enjoyable!”

"...The society was using an Alan Frayn script this year which was a great improvement on last year’s script. I am a great fan of these scripts which are well constructed, with good humour, and a nice line up of characters, groups cannot go wrong with one of his scripts."
