The Scunner Who Stole Christmas

Gaiety Theatre Characters, Dame Hylda and Jock the Joker visited the school on 16^th December and engaged the children in a short performance which was video and send to the Gaiety. We will be one of the five schools who appear in the finale episode of the panto performance of the Scunner who Stole Christmas.

The Kingdom of Ayrshire and Arran has been cursed by Dourina the Soorfaced Sorceress – she’s stolen the Pantomime Recipe Book and cancelled Christmas. Only joy, togetherness and adventure can conquer Dourina’s evil plan and save the day – but with Princess Neat and Prince Tidy keeping their distance; how can Christmas ever be saved? Can Fairy Handwash remember the magic recipe and find the ingredients she needs in our community to save the Kingdom? Can Dame Hylda Rerrterr, behave on Tour? And will Jock the Joker ever crack a one-liner we approve of?
