Production details
Feast your eyes on all your favourite Panto characters as you’ve NEVER seen them before! at amazing prices you’ll never see again! Starring: The Dame (he ain’t no woman) Fairy Mary (as the Forest Sprite) Nigel & Nelson (not usually brothers) Baron Balbus (not seen in Coronation Street) Father Christmas (as Sanity Clause). What happens when the traditional Panto rulebook is ripped up and thrown out the window? When the characters are disillusioned with Panto and threaten to quit? Everything rests on one outrageous festive meal and you’re ALL invited! Two young brothers, Nelson and Nigel, along with neighbour Dame Lederstraßenaffe, find their Magical Forest under threat of destruction by the EVIL Baron Balbus. The Forest Sprite, Fairy Mary, desperately calls upon the only person who can help - Father Christmas! And so the battleground is set... a Christmas dinner like no other at the Baron’s castle in an attempt to win him over and save the Magical Forest. There’s fisticuffs with the starters, tears with the main course and with Nigel and the Baron both declaring their love for the Dame over pudding- how will it all end? Uplifting, beautiful, hilarious and sometimes downright ridiculous, this contemporary and wonderful romp is perfect for both lovers of the traditional family panto and regular theatre-goers. Christmas Dinner! sees a contemporary twist on the great institution of the traditional family panto. All our colourful favourites are here - the pantomime dame, the principal boy, the princess in peril, the wicked tyrant and the heroic but ‘put upon’ side-kick - but as you’ve never seen them before. Sunday 14 and Sunday 21 matinee includes making workshop after performance Christmas Dinner! and the making workshop are suitable for 8 years and above.
