All the best panto, comedy, dance and musicals this Christmas 🎄⤵️

All is well with the world when Clive Rowe dons his outrageous frocks and false bosoms to play Mother Goose, a role created in 1902 for music hall legend Dan Leno. Rowe also directs, with a cast that includes another Hackney favourite, Kat B, as Mother Goose’s son Billy.CBeebies star Rebecca Keatley leads the cast as Belle, while local favourite Jason Marc Williams plays the Dame.
