Chameleons chose an exciting adventure story for panto 2002. Treasure Island - the Panto by Richard Lloyd retells this classic story, but with all the usual pantomime ingredients. Here are images of Long John Slither and his villainous band of pirates, Jim Ladd, Dame Ladd, Squire Polperro and his lovely daughter Nancy, along with many other characters.

Geoff Dodsworth directed his first panto, having played many panto roles in the past, most recently the Emperor in Aladdin last year. Here's what the local paper said about us.

These are just a few of the photos taken during setbuilding, dress rehearsal and the run of the panto. Click on any image to see a larger version.
