The Venice Panto has returned with well-known panto names plus some new talents. It is in English but with some Italian songs by the children and a Venetian scene.
Jack is in love with Jill, her father the Squire does not approve, Dotty Trott (Jack's mum) is behind with the rent, Nabitt the baliff demands cash, the cow Violet is sold to wicked Basil Bloodchill, who takes her to the terrible Norman Ogre who lives above the earth, his wife Mavis is not terrible, the fairy saves the day with magic beans and it is all reported on by Hunter the journalist at the News at Seven. After all this they all live happily ever after. It is all written and directed by the author Laurie Graham.
On only 17/1/14 at 19.30 or 18/1/14 at 15.30. Tickets may be sold out, but try 515.0212.
All proceeds to La Gabbianella, a charity for kids of female prisoners at the lady's prison in Venice.
