One of Britain’s great traditions
during the festive season is to go and see a festive panto; somewhere where all
the locals get together to see men dressed up in drag acting out traditional
fairy stories. So we decided to take my five year old niece along to see just
that. I had to book tickets in October and they were on the dear side as it was
a premium showing; but our seats were quite close to the stage. The show was
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; and it starred some bloke who won one of Simon
Cowell’s talent competitions some years ago alongside someone from Emmerdale.
But the real star of the show was Dave Benson Philips from TV’s Playbus who was
a real treat to see and kept the show running. It was quite a long and drawn
out show and there could have been more interaction with the audience. I’m also
wondering as to why the dwarves all had Liverpudlian accents. But it made for a
nice afternoon out on a bank holiday afternoon which would normally involve me
either being at work or at home playing video games.
