Prescot
and Whiston Methodists' annual pantomime
got off to a riproaring start last night.
Hansel
and Gretel had all the familiar elements
we have come to expect from the
traditional panto - a busty dame (a chap
in drag, of course), the clumsy sidekick,
the dashing hero and his heroine bride,
and plenty of slapstick, "It's
behind you!", saucy gags and corny
punchlines.
Highlights
were the appearance of Fred the Robot
(played by longtime Prescot School
teacher Roy Taylor), a suitably moving
rendition of "Where Is Love?"
by the all-but-orphaned title duo, and a
deliciously amourous encounter between
the panto dame (Tim Evans on usual top
form) and a gorilla.
