Dick Turpentine (Michaelmas, 2000)
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.

Top ©... Ah yes, ©, slightly complicated that. Well. Originally Elizabeth did lots of work and wrote most of the content of the site. Then Helen did some more, and Rory did some more after that, so the content could have been written by any of the three of them, or maybe by me. Where me is pilly, obviously. Anyway, one thing I am sure of is that the page images (on the left) and the big header image and the general look of the thing were all done by Beth Rowell, in 2008. The coding that makes it all work in the background was done by pilly in 2009.

The site is coded, maintained and hosted by pilly, contact me if you have any comments or questions about it, or if you find a broken link.
