Press Reviews
Hucknall Dispatch - January 2010
Hucknall Dispatch Preview
Hucknall's Lovelace Theatre Group promise a feast of oriental fun and eastern magic with their annual family pantomime, 'Aladdin' , which feaures 14 year old Beth Garwood in the title role.
Roger Knowles, who is directing the production, will be looking to Richard Aiton, who plays panto baddie Abanaza, Mark Swinson (Widow Twanky) and Rosie Butler (Genie of the Lamp) to provide the foundation stones for success.
A witty script, specially written by veteran stage performer Harry Toseland, now a Huck-nall Liberal Democrat member of Ashfield District Council, should appeal to the young and the young at heart, while energetic dance routines in the show have been choreographed by Becca Mayes.
'Aladdin' is being performed at the John Godber Centre on Ogle Street, Hucknall from next Thursday (January 28) to Saturday January 30 at 7.30 each night. There will also be a 2.30 pm matinee performance on the Satur-day. For tickets, contact the box office on 0115 9639633 or pay at the door.
