Traditional British "Panto" takes a childhood fairy tale or story
and delivers an engaging, deliberately over-the-top and hilarious entertainment suitable
for children and adults. The "Dame" is always played by a man, and the Principal Boy - usually the hero - is traditionally played
by a woman.
The show includes singing, dancing and jokes. There are many
opportunities for audience participation. For some general background on British panto
especially from a non-British point of view, go to :
