Extracts from our NODA review:

It is a joy to come and watch a pantomime where a young script writer has been allowed to begin his journey….

Mother Goose’s costumes were numerous changes from green and gold with a green wig, gold and black outfit with touches of Cornish tartan and ginger and orange wig, yellow and red dress with feathers and sequins and red wig and burgundy and gold finale were all well-fitting and looked wonderful. She made a fantastic traditional dame, interacting with all on the stage, pulling every gag out of the script, sang with gusto and her interaction with the audience was fantastic. A brilliant portrayal!

The choreographed moves for this production were carefully considered so that all the members of the cast could perform them. I enjoyed the traditional Les Misérables marching movements during the songs; but I especially enjoyed the beautifully arranged ballet dance, what talent you had within the Gooseland ballet dancers, they all looked as if they were ready to dance on the professional stage….

The diverse and fully inclusive chorus were certainly an integral part of this production. They were fully engaged when on stage and ensured they all followed the storyline….

The Sleeping Beauty – By David Ivall

January 2020
The Perranwell Centre, Cornwall, TR3 7JU

The Group’s pantomime for its Fiftieth Anniversary Year is The Sleeping Beauty, written and directed by David Ivall, with songs by David Ivall and Peter Smith. It blends the stories of the beautiful enchanted Princess with those of Red Ridinghood and Jack and the Beanstalk (not to forget Daisy the Cow). We can be fairly certain that, despite the machinations of the Wicked Fairy, the Princess will be awoken by the kiss of a handsome Prince, but who will she actually marry?

With fifteen adults and twenty three children, this is our largest cast pantomime for some years. Add in colourful costumes, ingenious sets, original songs, comedy, dancing, and a talking goose, and you have fun for all the family!

It’s Utterly Panto Written By Rachel Feeny-Williams

19-21 February 2015
Perran-ar-worthal Village Hall

“It’s Utterly Panto” written by Rachel Feeny-Williams was staged in February 2015.

A brand new pantomime that contained many of our favourite fairy-tale characters.

With a colourful array of costumes, popular songs and all the elements of a traditional pantomime, this production was thoroughly enjoyed by audience members of all ages.

“When Goatel (Gretal) appeared I was completely in panto world” “Rapunzel and the nits had me laughing out loud” “completely brilliant” and “the best panto ever” were just some of the many, many favourable comments received.

Cinderella

21-23 February 2013
Princess Pavillion, Falmouth

This was our first outing to Princess Paviion in Falmouth and we were all very excited about performing “Cinderella”, a traditional pantomime for all the family.

Those who came along joined in with all their favourite characters as this magical fairy-tale unfolded with fun and laughter.

You could only admire our youngsters as they performed to rocking music that got everyone jiggling in their seats and were amazed as the fairies work ‘a kind of magic’ to ensure Cinders got to the ball.

Tradition dictated a happy ending but just who would marry who? February used to be a dull month but not anymore, Panto was back in town.
