A Hitherto Undiscovered Play by Beckett

Waiting for Godot 2

 It has not been realised but a sequel to "Waiting for Godot" was written by the late Samuel Becket. Called "Waiting for Godot and his Christmas Rules", it has two people meeting, wearing masks and socially distancing, discussing whether the Health Minister of the Country of Procrastinate will ever appear to give advice on rules for meeting up at Christmas during a plague. 

In the end, they die of the plague after Christmas comes and goes, and the advice given is so confusing with examples of grandparents being part of family gatherings that they all catch it. The Health Minister, Richard Godot, never shows up.

Snow White and the Silent Dwarves

Pantomime in which the dwarves, wearing masks and socially distancing, mime to Whistle While you Work, as whistling is forbidden during a plague as it spreads the illness. At frequent intervals, Doc gets out a graph to show how the plague is spreading. As Christmas approaches the Dwarves are confused because they don't know whether Snow White breaks the numbers of households mixing. And when the Prince turns up, is he one household too many, or doesn't he count as extra because Snow White is dead? And anyway it is outside and socially distanced? But can he kiss her awake, or is that forbidden under the rules?

Cinderella: The Stepmother's Revenge

Pantomime in which Cinderella can't go to the ball because it has been cancelled when the hospitality industry was closed until the end of the year because of a plague. The Ugly sisters rejoice and hold a huge house party, as the King's only issued strong guidance on how many citizens can meet up in one house, and they all sicken and die. Cinderella has been locked up waiting for test results, and as there are no balls to go to, makes herself pumpkin pie.

Jack and the Beans Talk

Pantomime in which Jack Le Fondre gets very annoyed with some beans who keep talking about his strategy for defeating the Giant Coronavirus by furloughing the Golden Goose so it can't lay any eggs, and keeping Schools open despite the plague all around. Widow Parker has a final role. Jack is saved by his cow, Vaccina.
