"Oh no it isn't”: a History of Pantomime – presented by Pete Allen

Nov 10, 2026

14:30 - 16:00

What is it about pantomime that attracts us to this strange concoction of fairy tales, dance, jokes, songs and cross-dressing?  And what is it really like to play the back end of a Pantomime cow? 
All this, and the answer to whether something really is behind you, will be answered in this talk about what has become one of the great British Christmas traditions. Pete is the Director of the R. C. Sherriff Trust, an arts charity, and works extensively as a professional theatre director and film-maker. Entry is free for EPKPS members. Visitors £3, payable on entry (cash only).  All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.
