Ali Baba &
The Cave of Doom
or
The Blaggers Opera
Take one itinerant
Woodcutter, a beautiful servant, a sneaky Grand Vizier, a love-sick Sultana, a
cut-throat villain and two idiotic robbers, add a few Genies - both good and bad
- mix in several exotic locations and hey presto! You have a laughter-filled,
knockabout, "must see", family Pantomime. Based on a tale in The
Arabian Nights - with the gorier passages edited out - it tells how our Hero
overcomes his deepest fears, faces danger, defeats the Forty Thieves... well,
three of them actually (we never get to see the other thirty-seven)... and gets
the Girl!
(14 Principals & Chorus)
Magical... This panto had the
lot
and sent the audience away with a smile on their
lips and a song in their hearts...The jokes and japes
are
knockabout and entertaining... All the old jokes were there, the cornier the
better... This is a must-see panto" - Greenock
Telegraph
"Cheers and Charm in
Magic Cave... The script is witty... Enchanting... Thoroughly entertaining... I
heartily recommend in to panto-goers of all ages" - Arbroath
Herald
