Festive Pantomime Season

BATH, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 20: The audience watches as the production of the traditional pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk is shown on stage at the Theatre Royal Bath on December 20 2008 in Bath, England. Many theatres in the UK are currently starting their pantomime seasons - which traditionally are musical-comedy theatrical productions incorporating song, dance, buffoonery, slapstick, cross-dressing, in-jokes, audience participation, and mild innuendo and which run over Christmas and into the New Year. Despite the looming recession, according to many theatre ticket sellers, the panto season seems to be holding up well, and with financial crisis jokes woven into the tale of a family facing eviction, the story of Jack and the Beanstalk seems as relevant today, as it was when it was first told in theatres in the 19th century.The Bath Theatre Royal's production runs until Sunday January 25 2009 and stars Colin Baker, Chris Harris, Susan Penhaligon and Lewis Bradley.
