Aladdin January 2001

This traditional pantomime, written by Norman Robbins, contained all the important ingredients, with a baddie to boo and a dame to tease and two wonderful magical spirits! Marianne Potts directed her first panto, and music was provided by Phil Le Cheminant. The cast included many old friends, some in rather different roles from usual, along with newcomers to our stage.

We performed to packed houses, having sold out weeks before.

Here are a few pictures from the show.

Abanazar in the market place Hiss and boo at the wicked Abanazar as he meets Widow Twankey for the first time.

Aladdin and Badroulbadour Aladdin and his princess

Emporer ready for his bath complete with rubber duck Off with his head screams the emperor as his long awaited bathtime is interrupted!

Aladdin in the market place, singing Fame

Twankey works her staff hard! Inside the laundry

Wishee and the children Wishee and the children, busy doing nothing

Slave of the ring And this wasn't the camp one! You should have seen the genie's handbag!

Twankey gets her man... poor chap Twankey puckered up for a kiss
