VIVA ZORRO!
By Dave Buchanan
A colourful new pantomime set in Mexico in 1910.

PLOT SUMMARY
Young American Maria Alvarez inherits a billion dollars and is immediately targetted by her rascally uncle Don Alvarez. He hires a motley crew of villains to finish her off, and in a kind of “Perils of Pauline” scenario, she has to survive six assassination attempts.
But fear not! help is at hand in the shape of Zorro & co, including a very funny expat dame called Dolly.
The action is fast, furious and fun-packed, and a real challenge for the FX team.
"Innovative and uniquely refreshing ... I couldn't put the the script down - it is hilarious panto fare sitting well in a nail-biting exciting adventure story." - Amateur Stage, July 2005
