Perth favourite Barrie to play seven dames in panto
Panto fans are in for an extra treat as Perth Theatre’s family pantomime will star not one, but seven dames this year! Scotland’s leading panto dame, Perth favourite Barrie Hunter will play up to seven dames in a quick-change frenzy in Snow White And The Seven Dames in the theatre this festive season.
Directed by artistic director Lu Kemp, families can expect the usual fun, laughter, songs and silliness that make Perth panto the best in the land.
Lu said: “Perth’s family panto is the highlight of the year at Perth Theatre, one the whole company loves bringing to the stage and to our audience.
“Our dame Barrie Hunter is much-loved locally, and this year’s panto celebrates with not one but seven dames.”
Barrie, who will be co-directing the panto, said: “I’m very excited to be back in Perth again for panto this year!
“There’s going to be loads of fun and frolics, plenty of madness and mayhem, not to mention pure hunners of sweeties and slapstick!
“And once you multiply that seven times over, well... I’ve never been great at maths, but – I do know that’s a lot of sweeties!”
Sponsored by Thorntons Solicitors, Snow White And The Seven Dames is in Perth Theatre from Saturday December 1 until Saturday January 5.
