Mother Goose Pantomime

at Concordia Theatre, Stockwell Head.

One of the oldest stories to be turned into a pantomime, MOTHER GOOSE follows the traditional path of good versus bad.

Mother Goose, the Dame in this panto, is a good and kindly soul, always happy and contented with her lot. The evil spirit Vanity, boasts that no human is ever happy with their lot and wagers that she can be turned to be discontented by the gift of a simple goose. But Priscilla, the goose in question, is no ordinary goose but one with magic powers and the ability to lay eggs of pure gold.

Will this newfound wealth be the thing that turns Mother Goose? Will she become vain and unhappy? What will become of Priscilla the magic goose? The production promises to have all the usual hallmarks of a Concordia panto with plenty of comedy, song and dance: fabulous costumes, scenery and stunning special effects.

Mother Goose shows on:

Wednesday, Thursday & Friday Evenings;

Saturday & Sunday Matinee & Evenings.

10% Discount available on purchases of 10 or more tickets on Wednesdays & Thursdays only.

Please book tickets through the Concordia Theatre website or at the Box Office (10.am to 12.30 pm Monday to Saturday mornings / 7.00pm to 8.00pm Monday to Wednesday evenings and 1hr before each performance).
