Blackmore's Got Panto!

Written by Pauline Skerritt

Produced by Pauline Skerritt

Production Dates: 21st to 23rd January 2010

Synopsis

Have you ever wondered what happens to panto characters during the rest of the year? Oh yes you have! So come with us for a peek into Pantoland! where Dame Jemima Jollity struggles to look after the animals on her farm (with no help at all from her two sons, Idle Jack and Simple Simon). They and all the other the Panto People are ‘resting’, under the watchful gaze of Lord Mayor Dick Whittington (not forgetting his faithful cat), awaiting news of their next production from the magic Panto fairy. But this year she’s gone AWOL and her replacement, Fairy Nearly, isn’t quite up to the job, so the Panto People are enticed by the evil Programmer, Mr. Xavier Factor - ably assisted by his bungling sidekicks Flip and Heck - into the murky world of Reali-TV. Meanwhile, Mrs. Pushy is desperate to get her daughter Kylie turned into an overnight sensation but the girl herself just wants to appear on the stage. Will Fairy Nearly (with the help of her fairy friends, young and old) be able to rescue the panto people from their fate of horrific cookery competitions and jungle trips? Will Idle Jack stay awake long enough to get together with Kylie? Will we prove conclusively that live theatre beats TV every time? Oh yes we will!

Reviews

I am always impressed by those who are self-reliant, being fairly dependent on others myself. The ability to design, construct and paint scenery and make good quality costumes is wonderful but to write the script for your very own pantomime is someth...[Click here for the full review]
