An illustrated talk exploring the history of Pantomime.  From its earliest origins in the Middle Ages, through to the lavish spectacular productions we know today – we’ll journey through some fact and fiction of this popular entertainment.  The Stories, the Characters, the Traditions – I have lots of tales to tell….Oh, yes I have!  There’s no business like show-business and there is nothing like Pantomime….after all, it’s the only theatrical form we British ever invented.
