Book now for the magic carpet ride of a lifetime...
If you’re a dyed-in-the-wool fan of the Theatre Severn panto experience, you’ll be delighted to know that this year’s offering is following the usual recipe for success.
What does that mean in practice? Well, to put some meat on the bone, it means Telford-born Paul Hendy is writing it, Evolution is producing it, and Brad Fitt is both starring in it and taking the directorial reins.
“There are pantos out there that go a bit near the knuckle - but I don’t think ours does,” says Brad, who is this year appearing as Dame Dolly in what will be his 15th Theatre Severn pantomime. “I would never tell a joke that was offensive or rude. Sometimes, you can use a double entendre - but then that’s in your mind; that’s not me. You have to blame yourself!”
