We are very excited to announce our pantomime for 2016 will be Aladdin directed by our very own Emily Costa.

This very original and funny production provides all the necessary ingredients for a first-class and spectacular pantomime of this famous Oriental rags to riches tale. 

Bursting with comedy and visual business, courtesy of  Widow Twankey, Wishee Washee and the two Chinese Policemen (Yu-Dun-Wong and Hu-Dun-Pong), this sensational production provides ample opportunity for audience participation, slapstick and traditional pantomime fun.  

If you're ready to embark upon an unforgettable journey into the Land of the Magic Lamp, let this "in-genie-ous" pantomime make your wish come true!

Join Aladdin as he falls in love with the beautiful Princess, seeks out his fortune and returns to claim her hand in marriage. Along the way, Aladdin will shirk from his duties in the laundry, hide from a dodgy pair of policemen, overcome the trickery of a deceitful "Uncle" and benefit from the powers of the genie of the lamp. When all seems lost, along comes the good Spirit to right all wrongs, ensuring a happy ending.

Best One So Far

I think this Panto was the best one so far (although I’ve only been to two in my life). There was good entertainment and the cover-ups on forgetting lines was a talent on its own!! 10/10 performance from the “Wishy Washy” and “Abernaaza” and all the crew. Keep up the good work!!!!

Loved It!

Haven’t been to a panto in years and Aladdin was brilliant. My god daughter was so excited that she was allowed to come on stage - she and her mum thoroughly enjoyed it too. A great afternoon out for the kids. Great songs, especially the a cappella version of Flashlight at the end…loved it!

Brilliant show, thanks for the shout out. Youngest kids loved going on stage. Older kids thought music was great, Jess J, Ferell and One Direction, Pantos are "cool". A great afternoon seeing all having so much fun. Please pass on my thanks to all involved.
