Aladdin

Jan 2019

Aladdin, by Chris Cooper and Matt Barnard, played from Thu 17 – Sat 19 Jan 2019.

Jump aboard a magic carpet and see the return of our annual pantomime! Join Aladdin, his brother Wishee Washee and his mother Widow Twankey on a spectacular adventure. Will he find the Magic Lamp? And if he does, will the power it holds help him to foil wicked Abanazar and wed Princess Jasmine?
