Panto in August? ...Oh yes there is!

SUMMER panto returns to the Cotswolds next week when Robinson Crusoe sails into the Corn Hall, Cirencester, on Wednesday.

Packed with songs, colourful costumes, comedy and lots of audience participation, this Panto Company show is a delight for both children and adults alike.

It's the tale of the heroic captain of the Good Ship Lizzie. His mission is to seek out wondrous treasures, discover strange new lands and to boldly go where no action-packed adventure has gone before.

Yet, when Crusoe is shipwrecked, he has more than new lands and treasure on his mind. There's his hilarious new friend, Man Friday, the beautiful Princess Moonflower and of course the wicked pirate Captain Hogwash.

Cotswold District Council events officer Rik Husdan said: "With the long summer ahead, I think this is a perfect opportunity to keep the kids entertained, but hold tight, this panto travels at a thousand miles an hour."

Performances are at 11am and 2pm. Tickets cost £5.50 for adults, £4.50 children and £18.50 for a family ticket for two adults and two children or one adult and three children. They are available from Cirencester Visitor Information on 0185 654180.
