MISSION IMPROBABLE - Primary School Pantomime
Bedlam Island is under attack! A rogue band of estate agents from a neighbouring island wants to evict the Bedlam Bunch - unless they can hand over enough gold by tomorrow morning. When Silly Billy finds an ancient treasure map, he and Pirate Peggy set off on a dangerous mission to save the day. Unfortunately, they can’t read, have no sense of direction and they've forgotten the controls for the flying carpet. They might need the kids' help to get through this!!! This original Bedlam Bunch pantomime is available to hire for primary schools in London. Running time: 50 minutes. Suitable for ages 4–11.

Hired Bedlam Bunch for our School end of year Summer Celebration. I couldn't have been happier with what I saw, the children loved it! Hula Talula beamed throughout with energy that never seemed to have an end. Thank you for making the end of a very long year something to remember.
Rebecca King, July 2018 -
It was absolutely BRILLIANT! The entertainers were top class, lots of variety and funny for kids & parents.
Watson, Farley & Williams, London -
I just wanted to say an enormous thank you for a wonderful afternoon. The children had a fabulous time and have been telling everyone about it. Their favourite parts were the face painting, the pantomime and the children’s entertainers in the games room. In particular ‘Princess Pearl’ who was extremely kind and played with them for ages.
