Last production
The Panto Puzzle, 2nd to 10th December 2023
Dame Dolly Mixture and Cheeky Charlie arrive at the theatre only to find that the pantomime has been cancelled for this year. The caretaker reveals that previous pantomimes are stored in boxes when they are not in use. He agrees to show Dolly and Charlie the panto boxes, only to discover that someone has been tampering with them and three things are missing from Cinderella's box. A distraught Cinderella has been left a cryptic note which is the only clue to the identity of the thief and the whereabouts of the stolen goods. It is clear the villain is set on causing as much disruption to the pantomimes as possible. He or she needs to be stopped! With the help of a rather surly emergency fairy, and some out-of-date fairy dust Dolly and Charlie visit the other pantomimes in their quest to identify the culprit and recover the missing items.
