How to tell the story of the lamp? You need a hero, a baddie and a heroine. An idle boy who has nothing at all, and a beautiful girl who has everything. Aladdin is a bit of a worry as the hero. He’s notreally what you’d call, well, brave, or handsome, or even that clever. And the Princess might be just a little spoilt. But a baddie we can do, and a Mum who takes in washing, and a King who’ll do anything for his daughter and there’s a genie and a lorry load of lamps. So let’s get on and tell the story of Aladdin and how he came to find the magical lamp! Following the success of last year’s Cinderella and their previous tales of The Snow Queen and Beauty and the Beast, writer Mike Kenny and Director Gail McIntyre have created the perfect antidote to panto for children aged 4 and above. Just be careful what you wish for!
