Government should support pantomime - a life force for all our theatres

The glory of attending a pantomime? The silliness, the fun, the sheer joy?

It’s behind you!

Well, let’s hope not.

Pantomime is sometimes sneered at by those who do not view it as “proper” theatre. But without panto, so much else that happens in our city’s theatres wouldn’t be possible. It is this most traditional of art forms that enables theatres to experiment during the rest of the year.
