Peter Bond

Pantomimes and other Drama

Peter Bond has been involved in pantomimes and musical theatre for almost as long as he can remember. His musical version of Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper, with music by the late Stephen Oliver, was published over forty years ago. Since then, he has had a variety of scripts published by Lazy Bees, and others which are available only from the author.

“…traditional pantomime, filled with songs, silliness and crazy characters. This is family entertainment at its best.” (Canadian newspaper)

Other Drama

These include some not mentioned elsewhere on this site: thirty-minute comic plays: Stonehenge, and Hadrian’s Wall ; adaptations of Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost; Aristophanes’s The Frogs (both available from the author); and Anthony Trollope’s Christmas at Thompson Hall and Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper (Lazy Bees).

Peter Bond’s first dramatic success was when he won a Drama Competition with his one-act play, The Failure, which was performed at the Tower Theatre, London. In those days plays performed in London required a Lord Chamberlain’s licence.
