Ali Baba - December 2010 

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves > > > December 15 - 19, 2010

A Pantomime by David Swan

This traditional family panto for kids and all those who refuse to grow up is a high energy comedy full of corny jokes, silly songs and audience participation.

Poor Ali Baba is worried that the evil El Scorpio and his 40 thieves will steal the little money he has saved to pay his rent. While trying to avoid the advances of Fatima Kebab, Ali attempts to help the intrepid Professor Jones and his daughter Polyanna find the cursed tomb of King Pomegranate.

Pantomimes are great fun for the whole family, and what better time of year for a pantomime than at Christmas? We invite you to bring the kids or grandkids to ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVES. Directed by Vicki Wiseman, this show will run from december 15th to 19th 2010.
