Lady Macbeth: cold, irreligious, manipulative and demonic or charming, attractive,ambitious and devoted to her husband? The three weird sisters: who are they and what part do they play in the demise of Lady M?

‘ ’Hie thee hither,
That I may pour my spirits in thine ear;
And chastise with the valour of my tongue
All that impedes thee from the golden round,
Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem
To have thee crown’d withal.’
Lady M – a passionate, loving wife or avirago – a masculine soul inhabiting a female body?

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.

Tron Participation has created a section on Glow for our Panto. In this area you will find, rehearsal photos, games and puzzles, panto gags and much more. We will be uploading material from now till Christmas so be sure to log on!!
