Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
Dame Margery Daw has so many children she finds them hard to control – and, in any case, she has her eye on that nice, eccentric widower, Mr Merryweather. Her daughter, Goldilocks, goes for a picnic in the woods, and encounters not three bears but a spaceship. When the three Martians return to their space ship in Act 1, they do find their space cereal eaten, the spaceship controls tampered with and a broken chair!! She is inadvertently taken to Mars, where her new friend, Baby Martian, takes her to the grooviest place in the universe, The Mars Bar. Its barman, Maxibillion Megalux, mixes cocktails which can have the most amazing results!
Meanwhile, Goldilocks’ bossy sister, Polly, has found romance with the rather inept Cuthbert and Dame Marjorie Daw has found herself lumbered with two comic manservants, Archibald and Montmorency who insist upon “escorting the dear lady”. whether she wants them to or not.
Magicked to Mars by Fairy snowdrop, Goldilocks’ family heads off to rescue her, but Maxibillion’s cocktail has an extraordinary effect on Dame Marjorie while Cuthbert succumbs to the advances of Mars’s leading lady, Marzipan, (helped by a cocktail which makes men adore her for ever). Can Polly recue him in time? How can they all get back to earth? And what will become of the surprise visitor who arrives on a broomstick

Frequently asked questions
Can we try before we buy?
Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.
All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.
Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.
Do we need a Licence To Perform?
The simple answer is, yes.
Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.
Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?
When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
