Panto Preview
Yes, we know you’ve probably still got an Aperol
Spritz on the go and your winter coat’s still
stuffed under the bed, but we need to talk panto.
Specifically, the annual show from He’s Behind You.
After selling 14,000 tickets for last year’s
effort (Sleeping Beauty Takes a Prick), the same
team of writers — Jon Bradfield and Martin
Hooper — have a brand new show for the
upcoming festive season.
Jack the Lad
Summer, be gone — it’s time for pantomime.
Oh yes it is!
Jack and the Beanstalk: What a Whopper!
promises to be another raunchy twist on a
childhood classic, complete with infectiously
catchy songs, a fistful of double entendres,
and an outrageous panto dame played by
Matthew Baldwin.
We get that Christmas theatre might be the
last thing on your mind right now, but why not
spend five minutes getting a pair of tickets now
as a present for your future self? You could even
have an Aperol Spritz there, too.
