"The Search For The Missing Amulet"

or: "Here I Am, Stuck In The Middle With You"

a festive pantomiming of the seasonal and herbal parsnip variety
currently in rehearsal, scripts still being edited and scenery not even yet painted. . .
and what about the score!! yikes, I knew I shouldn't have undertaken all this myself:
crikey, people, we need music!!
(and perhaps I need a little help?)

Act One, Scene Two

Stage Directions: Lemonade Stand lurks, as yet unnoticed, somewhat menancingly at the edge of the stage. . .
in this act two strangers appear, one of whom might possibly be the German Forest Dwelling Magician and the other of whom might be someone in need of a Magic Carpet; perhaps they are fencing stolen goods, perhaps they have very large wallets, we don't know. . . what we know is that they came prepared for festive celebrations, bringing with them cup cakes!
a lady, who had been trying to distract The Highlander by blowing kisses from her balcony, instead let loose her pet peacock. . .

the pet peacock dropped a feather in The Highlander's direction distracting him from his task onstage, which was trying to upstage the Fine French Fancy. . .
.
but to no avail, as the Fine French Fancy is joined by a Chorus of Can Can Girls (one of whom was swinging in the sixties and is still swinging!)

Look! One of 'em has a sabre - must be fencing ill-gotten goodies.

Maybe they're planning to gain entry to the large wallets with their sabres?
