Eden Court's fabulous family panto for this winter is ful of ugly sisters, handsome princes and glass slippers … That's right, it's everyone's favourite, Cinderella. Read more …
The best-loved of all pantomimes, Cinderella is the all-time classic ‘rags-to-riches’ tale.
Glass slippers, the Fairy Godmother, a pumpkin stagecoach and Prince Charming – it’s got all the ingredients for the perfect family Christmas treat – and you even get two Dames for the price of one with the Ugly Sisters!
This year’s show will once again be directed by and star panto favourite Iain Lauchlan alongside a fantastic professional company and a host of local children.
For families’ right across the Highlands, Eden Court’s legendary pantomime is an essential part of their Christmas celebrations. Famed for its lavish set designs, spectacular costumes and sparkling performances, this fun-filled festive show is always good value and guaranteed great fun!
What with all these swish finishing touches, this year’s pantomime is a far cry from the awkward dance routines and dodgy cloth horses that I remember inwardly cringing at when I was younger. Imagine Theatre really is at the upper echelons of panto productions, and, having truly turned the ridiculous into the sublime, will be capable of capturing any child’s imagination this Christmas.
There's a slapstick make-over routine, a magical transformation to take Cinders (Anna Mitcham) to the ball and the kind of musical numbers that work for all ages – the kind of show that makes panto just the ticket for families.
Eden Court Theatre, Inverness from Tuesday December 6, 2011, until Sunday January 8, 2012. More info: www.eden-court.co.uk
