SALISBURY Playhouse will be offering audiences all the fun of a traditional pantomime this Christmas.

Mother Goose is being performed on the main stage from Wednesday, December 3. The show is packed with jokes, songs, costumes and fun for all the family.

Kieran Buckeridge, who has been loved by Salisbury audiences for the last two years for his antics as the panto Dame, returns to the Playhouse in the title role. He is joined by Ella Vale as Demonica Baddegg, Howard Coggins, as Squire Dillydally, and Johanne Murdock as Fairy Flutter.

Completing the cast is Lucy Faint as Milly Dillydally, Robert Reece as Billy Goose and Lacy Jordinson as Priscilla the Goose. Two groups of local children make up the chorus.

The creative team from last year’s hugely popular pantomime, Dick Whittington and His Cat, is back including writer Andrew Pollard, composer Kieran Buckeridge, director Joyce Branagh, designer Keith Orton, musical director Rebekah Hughes, choreographer Maggie Rawlinson, lighting designer Peter Hunter and sound designer Mark Noble.

Mother Goose runs from Wednesday, December 3 to Saturday, January 10 with morning, afternoon and evening performances.
