What is British Pantomime? It's not mime! There is speaking and singing throughout (in English). It's for kids
It's based on a fairytale with a hero, a baddie, a romance, plenty of jokes that kids will like, plenty of silly bright costumes and a happy ending. It's for adults
The comedy is on two levels - there's plenty for the adults that the kids won't get. Will it be any good? De Niro, Depp and
Hopkins weren't available, but we'll get the story across and we think you'll have a lot of fun. What else? It's interactive. Unlike most theatre plays you're not expected to sit quietly in your seat. We want the audience to "boo" the baddie, to cheer the hero and different characters will be engaging with the audience throughout the show. Where's the money going?
100% of ticket sales go to charity. None of us are getting paid a penny. The cast have paid for all of the props, costumes, scenery etc. and the Academy of Performing Arts have kindly let us have the venue free. All ticket sales go to three local charities. When, what and when all to be confirmed soon.... What this space.
