Escape — Snippet story typed on the reverse of an Aboo Hassan programme

A typewritten Snippet story or performance scene titled “Escape”, typed on the reverse of an earlier Jonathan Laurey Marionette Company programme for Aboo Hassan: A Legend of the East. The scene opens with mice waking Snippet by moonlight and encouraging him to leave the nursery in search of adventure. It includes song lyrics and musical cues for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Cactus Polka. The reused programme lists the characters and scenes from Aboo Hassan, making the item evidence of both the company’s working scripts and its economical reuse of printed material. The sheets measure approximately 130 × 185 mm.
