Tron Panto 2011 – Mister Merlin

MISTER MERLIN
A PURE MAGIC PANTO

By Alex Norton
Directed by Andy Arnold
Designed by Kenny Miller

Mister Merlin’s magic is mince if he doesn’t have his wand – a family heirloom handed down through many Merlin generations. The Great Bahooky’s magic has always been mince – so stealing Mister Merlin’s wand, helped (or is it hindered?) by his side-kick Bumble, is part of his cunning plan for wizard world domination.
What he didn’t bank on was Merlin having a guardian angel, in the guise of The Govan Fairy; or two plucky puppet pals Peter and Penny prepared to brave Clabber Castle’s haunted garden to get the wand back.
Last performed in 1989, Peter & Penny’s Panto is given a modern day makeover by original creator Alex Norton.
