This
intriguing new play is the perfect antidote to all the usual on-stage festive
jollity of pantomime. Set in a grim dressing room, the panto brokers men are a
couple of broke comics and a once successful but now miserable old panto dame
who is at the threadbare end of his career, has bitterness all over a face
that's well past it's sell-by date. Sad, poignant and bleakly funny, you never quite
know if these ever-hopeful characters are waving at their panto audience in the
finale walk-down or just drowning. Leave the kids at home and go see. But be
warned - pantomime will never be quite the same again!

Disturbing
and affecting...it manages to contain both laughter and pathos and this is no
mean feat.......an excellent performance by the Dame who has an actor's
voice, rich and mellifluous and his diction is impeccable.....very entertaining
and only too true to life.
