Season's greetings
Pantomimes are a tradition at Christmas, and a great excuse to get your group together for a night of light-hearted entertainment. Here’s a sneak preview of what’s on offer this year.
Christmas treat
Celebrated actor, comedian, and novelist, Stephen Fry can now add writer of a wonderfully witty new pantomime to his credits. This new version of the classic Cinderella is at London’s Old Vic Theatre this Christmas, and tells a tale of passion, jealousy, cross-dressing, laughter, revenge, and love. The Old Vic is fast gaining a reputation for producing first class Christmas entertainment thanks to the success of the magical production of Aladdin last year. Performances of Cinderella run from 4 December 2007 to 20 January 2008, with group discounts available.
