Details

The Baghdad Panto. As temperatures soar and water rationing breaks out, Vera's Casbah Bar is threatened with closure. When was the last time anyone saw a rain cloud? And what is that mysterious rumbling sound that can be heard in the ancient salt mines beneath the Blackheath desert? Can Ali Baba, aided by a love struck dame and a sand-dancing camel, find the key to the cave and save the day in this meteorological melodrama? A colourful reinvention of a famous story, original live music and criminally difficult audience participation add up to make this one of the most enjoyable family Christmas shows in London.
