Hercules the Panto, 21st, 22nd, 28th and 29th January 2005
Fresh from his Twelve Labours, Hercules is set a thirteenth by Venus - to win the hand of Princess Wanda. The cute Gryphon, too, wishes to befriend the prickly Princess as, anxious to fly, he will be awarded his wings if he completes his task. Wanda is kidnapped by the evil Cyclops and our hero sets out to find her, aided by his sidekick Narcissus (who would really rather help Auntie Medusa in her Royal Heir Salon) watched over by the mischievous Three Fates, who control everyone's destiny. A happy ending is ensured with Hercules winning his Princess, Medusa getting her hands on the King and the Gryphon gaining his wings.
