Dick Whittington -Tamworth Panto 2018 Act1

[@davewarwicker2512]

So enjoyable - even in June.

[@JAmediaUK]

As with most panto's they are timeless. 🙂

Great pantomime mate Christopher

[@jonnyqwst]

The only reason I came here is Somerset Maugham’s short story “Daisy” (1899)

[@JAmediaUK]

I am confused. Why that story? holt.blue/Short_Stories/Stories/william_somerset_maugham_daisy.pdf

[@jonnyqwst]

@@JAmediaUKDaisy played “Dick Whittington” to wide acclaim and to the dismay and disgrace of her family.

[@JAmediaUK]

In this production, Dick was played by Sam not Daisy. When I get a minute, I will read the story of Daisy. Despite having the 3 volume "complete" set of SM/s short stories, Daisy isn't among them.

“17 lost stories of William Somerset Maugham”

[@JAmediaUK]

@@jonnyqwst Thanks for that.

Hi I was wondering if you have the full version with Olivia Shepherd as Cat. Thanks

[@JAmediaUK]

Hi, Sadly not. We only filmed on one night and that was the night Elisha was the Cat as we discovered during the performance. Elisha is a very good Cat. Though We didn't get to see Olivia's version.

[@connor21gibbons39]

Are you going to film the Jack And The Beanstalk panto for 2020 ?

[@JAmediaUK]

@@connor21gibbons39 That is the intention. We have a three camera system this time so it should be better. The problem is when it will happen. The 2019 panto was in Jan 2020 and today Gove said the 1 month Lock-down could be extended further into December...

[@connor21gibbons39]

It runs from the 11th of December till the 20th of December

[@JAmediaUK]

@@connor21gibbons39 but only if the lock-down is not extended currently it is to the 2nd December

I love pantomime

[@JAmediaUK]

Panto a historic part of the UK culture and were (before television) the Spitting Image of their day. Ie there is a base story around which all the current affairs jokes were woven. In these Tamworth Council come in for a lot of stick. As does county council re the potholes. The other thing is of course in good panto's like these the jokes will mean one thing to a child but something completely different to the adults. Do subscribe to the channel as we video the panto every year (though nothing compares to being there) and we do a lot of other Tamworth related video.

Another GREET panto

Slightly disturbing age gap between ‘dick’ and ‘Alice’

[@JAmediaUK]

Relax. It's Panto. Men play women, Women play men, Cats and Dogs talk. It's all double entendre & nothing is real and it. The theatre has always been thus.

What people don't understand my is that certain children get exactly what the punch lines are And this is the problem across every child driven or family show If you want kids to have problems in later life. Carry on . See who makes a wise crack about the carry on films

[@andrewmichel6878]

So sloppy. Absolutely shocking production. Why is the Dames costume unzipped for opening number. Falling apart. Disgraceful

[@JAmediaUK]

You may think it is terrible but they plasy to packed houses performance after performance and year after year. So a lotof people in Tamworth like them.

[@andrewmichel6878]

Fairy is dull and boring. Terrible script.

[@JAmediaUK]

That is why almost every performance was full year after year. Checking the audio the audience were finding it funny all the way through.
