Get set for pantomime time in East Lancashire

11:08am Wednesday 24th October 2012 in News By Simone Yates

THE curtain is all set to go up on the pantomime season again in East Lancashire.

And with Mother Goose and the Magical Circus in town this year families are in for a quacking time.

Celebrating with East Lancashire funnyman Phil Walker, who is performing for his tenth year in panto at King George’s Hall, fun is in the line-up.

Phil plays cheeky chappy Billy Goose, the son of Mother Goose, who owns the circus full of glitz and glamour.

With magical costumes, sets and lighting from Stageworks Worldwide Productions this year’s panto promises to be egg-citing for adults and children.

Known for their fabulous glamour and fantastic costumes Stageworks are providing amazing acts in their Big Top pantomime.

World champion aerialist Alexey Kofanov will also wow the crowds from December 12 - 31.

Mother Goose is written by Dougie Squires OBE and is directed and choreographed by Anthony Johns.
