DICK TURPENTINE

Not only is it the only pantomime to be named after its villain, Dick Turpentine also features a full cast of goodies and baddies, including dames, fairies, imps and assorted random characters.  With robberies, kidnap and blackmail, who needs a comprehensible plot?  

Shout at the baddies, yell they're behind you at appropriate intervals, cheer the good guys on and generally behave like a load of five year olds.  Please leave your maturity and inhibitions at the entrance so that they do not block the fire exits.
