Aladdin

One of the most popular pantomimes of all, this colourful story is set in Chandra, a country in
the mysterious East. It encompasses all the ingredients needed for a family entertainment.
Quick-witted Aladdin constantly avoids the bumbling Chandra police force (in the shape of a
female Sergeant and a rather clumsy PC) and gets to meet the beautiful Princess Jasmine.
His mother, Widow Twankey, wants him to help in the laundry, but he daydreams of bigger and
better things. These are almost realised when the evil Abanazar tricks him into entering an
eerie cave to retrieve a magic lamp. Once the secret of the lamp is revealed by a rap-speaking
Genie, further adventures follow before the happy multiple-wedding finale.
