Aladdin

Synopsis:
Aladdin lives in Beijing with his mother the Widow Twankey and his brother the ne'er-do-well Wishee Washee. He gets caught up in a scheme set by the wizard Abanazar who wants him to retrieve a magic lamp from a cave. Things do not go according to plan and Aladdin becomes trapped in the cave but he has help from a genie of the ring and then the genie of the lamp. If you add in a sub-plot to do with the ups and downs of his attempt to court Jasmine the protected daughter of the King, that takes care of the story. However the pleasure of this production is not so much derived from what happens but the joy and elan with which it unfolds.

Mother Goose

Synopsis:
Mother Goose certainly has many elements that have become part of the modern tradition of pantomime, even though some are starting to fall by the wayside: a male dame, female principal boy, camp baddy, community song, "oh no it isn't", "it's behind you" et cetera. the script has been adapted to have lots of local references, including the setting in the town of 'Oldhamia', and the score, played on keyboards, bass and drums, contains a good mix of songs from musicals and current pop songs.
