Oh no it isn’t ... too late to see pantomime
Panto season is not behind you as plenty of seasonal shows go on into January. They are all here from the favourite Cinderella to premiere of Dick Turpin Rides Again.
Going to the panto never loses its glitter. It is the most wonderful theatre time of the year.
You are positively encouraged to interrupt with an illtimed “It’s behind you” or “Oh yes it is!”
Scream, shout, clap, cheer and laugh out loud and bathe in fairy dust.
Duck water pistols and pickup missiles thrown at you to chuck them back.
Best of all you get to singalong with the pre-finale tune.
Enjoy!
