A very short (about seven minutes) pantomime, told entirely in rhyming couplets. Audience participation included.
Five characters: Goldilocks, Mr Bear, Mrs Bear, Baby Bear, Narrator.
The Three Bears go out for a walk while their porridge cools. While they're out, Goldilocks enters their cottage. But why is she there? You're not likely to guess the (happy) ending.

Script Extract:
Mr Bear: What’s this? While we’ve been on our stroll,
Someone’s used my porridge-bowl.
Mrs Bear: And somebody – I don’t know who –
Has licked a bit from my bowl too.
Baby Bear: Somebody – some mucky pup –
Has eaten all of mine right up!
Mr Bear: I could say, perhaps, in quotes –
We’re not going to get our oats.
