ALADDIN (2006) by Hugh Morrison

30th November-2nd December 2006 - Crowthorne Parish Hall

 

Widow Twanky slaves away all day in Peking's premier launderette, Widow's Wonderful Washeteria. (Motto: 'We Wash Well'. Website address: www.www.www.com). Her lazy son Aladdin though, prefers to do nothing all day except daydream about the beautiful Princess May, daughter of the Emperor.

One day Aladdin discovers a magic lamp which can grant wishes. It looks like all his problems are solved until the evil wizard, Abanazar, decides he wants the lamp as well! And the situation isn't helped by the daft Duff-Halibut family, on a diplomatic mission from England...
