Pantomimes (...or panto's) are a unique type of British Art, in which men play women and women play men. Panto's are adapted from popular Fairy Tales, such as:
Cinderella (...and the glass slipper)
Aladdin - from the arabian nights
Mother Goose
Jack And The Beanstalk
Robin Hood and Babes In The Wood
Dick Whittington
Puss In Boots
Every Village, town or city has its panto. Popular actors often preform in theatres, that say panto is there biggest seller!
