The one character that tends to get the oohs and aahs of the younger members of the audience is the pantomime 4 legged animal. This creature is made up of two people sharing a costume with one person being the front legs and the other the back. The skill of these performers often outshines the principle characters. A standard gag is the cow being milked. For ages it gives no milk, then when nobody expects it, suddenly produces it as a squirt in the face of the milker, or delivers it ready packaged in bottles or cartons.

Lovely article - well done.




Oh, no it isn't.




Oh, yes it is!

"Oh, Pantomime Horse, that was wonderful!"

It's pantomime anything really - we've had Daisy May - the cow, Shergar - the horse, bonzo - the dog, a cat, a mouse and even a parrot.

Don't think we have any animals this year except the assorted woodland creatures which always make an appearance.

We're doing Treasure Island btw

Oo-ar Jim lad! Pieces of eight! Shiver me timbers!
Oh, sorry I came over all Captain Sparrow then.

If you look half as good as Cap'n Jack I'll meet you Saturday at 7:00pm - at the docks.....

I'm not sure about half his looks but I'm twice his size!

Well then since we're being honest - it'd take 2-3 Elizabeth's to make one of me, so we're well matched.
