Review
Fun
for all the family, by Sara Fenton, Leamington Courier
This
was thoroughly enjoyable and had something in it for all ages.
Barry
West was hilarious as Widow Washday, with wife Brenda playing one
of
his sidekicks Rainyday - complete with a kagool and umbrella
hat.
Children
laughed out loud at the slapstick humour and the audience got
to
its feet for a round of the song "one finger one thumb"
complete with
actions.
Corporal Punishment and Major Jump drilled all with their
different
training regimes and Alex Hawkins was great as the Washays'
worker
Sunday.
Atishoo,
meanwhile, tickled the audience by uttering his catchphrase
"no,
that's my name" and Fairy Good brought a sprinkle of magic to the
evening
with help from her trainee Fairy Nuff, who only had one wing.
Robinson
Crusoe was entertaining in his quest to conquer Doomsday, who
was
unbelievably nasty as the baddie of the panto.
Plenty
of family fun then, but the highlight for me was Mildred, a
character
who came on throughout the show as characters from other
pantomimes
in an attempt to gatecrash the pantomime and take on a lead
role.
An entertaining night, a traditional village panto and there was
even
free tea and coffee in the interval ! 7/10
