Panto tells true tale of Little Red Riding Hood

The panto season brings ‘Red Riding Hood And the Wolves of Winter’ to Howden Park Centre.

The family show is full of songs, jokes and frosty winter fun.

We may all think that we know the story of Red Riding Hood but do we?

How did young heroine Rosie get such a strange nickname?

Why does she head off into the frozen forest in the depths of winter, carrying only a basket of cakes?

Hear the whole true story and share Rosie’s journey with her best friend Peter and his clever dog Patch.

Sing along with grandmother Babushka Blossom and boo at the wicked Ice Queen as she sends out the wolf pack from Snow Mountain.

Wonder at the mysterious Prince Nikoli. Should his eyebrows really join up like that?

He seems very hairy for a prince. Might he be the Big Bad... surely not?

The show has been put together by the creative team behind ‘Aladdin’ (2015) and ‘Cinderella’ (2014).

It is directed by Tim Licata, written by Murdo Munro and designed by Francis Gallop.

The panto will be staged from December 12-28 but there are no shows on Christmas Day or boxing Day.
