Panto Group 2022 Little Red Riding Hood

In early 2021 we were unable to perform anything at all because of the pandemic, but we performed Little Red Riding Hood on the 4th and 5th March 2022:

This is an extremely funny, joke filled pantomime version of the traditional fairy tale with an unusual twist. Little Red Riding Hood and her ‘hoody’ friends are modern girls, not afraid to investigate the strange museum which has been opened in the village by Professor Lupus. The Professor, alias Mr Wolf and his sidekicks are archetypal characters from Hammer Horror, including Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde, vampires Count Toothree and Countess Bloodlust, and the comedy duo Frank and Stein. Dame Granny Smith provides much of the humour by deciding to advertise for a date and then meeting up with the various baddies in different settings, including a fishing trip and the local disco. Meanwhile the lovely Squire’s daughter falls in love with a poor woodcutter who needs to make his fortune before he can marry her. 
There are lots of opportunities for slapstick including a traditional parcel throwing scene, a custard pie for the count and a hilarious chase. The pantomime culminates in the expected fairy tale scene with Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf in Granny’s cottage.
