Theatre conversations with An Afternoon with Artform a discussion with the cast and production team.

Pantomime - A British theatrical tradition

Booing and hissing the villain, cheering and heckling the cast, throwing sweets and candy back at the audience and a theatre sing along. An awful trip to the theatre you ask? ‘Oh yes it is!’ Well actually… ‘Oh no it isn’t!’ Pantomime is as British as Fish and Chips, a love of queuing and a Sunday Roast but if you live in another part of the globe you may never have heard of, let alone seen, one. Keeping Matthew company this week are guests who will be able to tell you all about it. From how to write and direct the genre to choreography and choosing the best music to fit the show. All from their experiences of working with The Bob Hope theatre in South East London for a local family audience. So settle in and forget your theatrical troubles because after all remember, ‘It’s behind you!’
