Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
Sarah, Harriet, Lucinda, Roland and Teddy, the Fictional Five, are all enjoying a fab, super, spiffing trip when their horses are attacked in the middle of the Transylvanian Forest by a strange looking wolf man, and they have to seek refuge in the House of Wendy.
But this is no fun place, as the Fictional Five are about to find out. It is a horror house owned by Count Dracula and run by a cursing Mummy, who are hosting Herr Stinkinstein’s monster wedding later the same evening in the Great Laboratory.
However, on arrival our eponymous heroes are mistaken for actual shepherds that Cookie is looking to bake in her wholly authentic shepherd’s pie, in addition to the actual Charlottes for the similarly authentic Apple Charlotte desserts and the actual Marys she needs to make the truly authentic Bloody Mary cocktails.
Add to the mixture Messrs Burke and Hare from the ‘Death to Door' delivery store’ along with an increasingly hairy Dr Jekyll, and a pair of complete idiots Splott and Twonk, who are the major cause of Mummy’s cursing, and you have all the ingredients of a ripping, gripping, and very funny yarn of a spoof version of Enid Blyton's Famous Five series.

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.
