There’s no use tackling a traditional British pantomime without a large portion of traditional British cheek.
Fortunately, that’s a quality that Merseyside-reared, Surrey Civic Treasure Ellie King possesses in abundance.
The director-playwright knows that friendly national stereotypes, groaner jokes and time-honored knockabout routines are the life blood of the panto, which true to its British show-biz origins, annually turns a well-loved fairy tale inside-out and serves it up, like a well-stuffed Christmas turkey, for the delectation of young and old alike.
