It’s Panto Time Again

BABES IN THE WOOD by John Crocker – Thame Players Theatre – Starts December 9.
IT’S panto time again. Oh, yes it is!! And Thame Players are madly rehearsing their production of Babes in the Wood which begins at the Players Theatre in Nelson Street, Thame, on Friday 9th December. Tickets are already on sale at Thame?s Tourist Information centre in North Street, Thame, with well over half the tickets already sold. Tony Long, Chairman of Thame Players, said, ?We usually sell out early for our Christmas show, and urge anyone wishing to see Babes in the Wood to act quickly to avoid disappointment.?

Babes in the Wood is based on an ancient story of two young children whose guardian and uncle plots to have them killed to steal their fortune. With Robin Hood and Maid Marian trying to save the babes, all, of course, ends happily. This traditional pantomime is suitable for all the members of the family and is full of catchy songs, corny jokes and slapstick humour. The Players are giving 12 performances of the show, with 8 matinees on the weekends of the 10th/11th and 17th/18th December at 2pm and 5pm, and evening performances on Friday 9th and Wednesday 14th to Friday 16th December.
