Best Seller |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 5. Minimum total without doubling = 5. No chorus. Whilst the bears are nominally male and female, they are, after all, bears, so gender will tend to be disguised! |

| Music | None. |
| Style | Short rhyming play. This approaches the border of the British pantomime genre. (Make you own mind up on that point!) |
| Synopsis | The tale of the Three Bears and the diminutive housebreaker with a novel twist at the end. |

| Run Time | Around 8 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Short rhyming play. This approaches the border of the British pantomime genre. (Make you own mind up on that point!) |
| Synopsis | A short rhyming play that preserves the villainous role of the father, but takes extreme liberties with other parts of the original tale, casting Hansel and Gretel in a less-than-favourable light. |

| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 11. Minimum total without doubling = 12. No chorus.
