Aladdin and His Magic Lamp

Harbourside Theatre Group are bringing Aladdin and His Magic Lamp to St Mark's Church Centre in Scarborough this December, with five performances spread across the Christmas period. It's a brand-new pantomime written and adapted by Mike Hammond, and the group is a Bridlington-based company that's well-known around here.

The cast is a mix of children and adults taking on the roles we all recognise: Aladdin, Princess Bo Ling, Dame Twankey, Ping, Pong and Wishee Washee, the Genie of the Lamp, the Spirit of the Ring and Abanazar. A spokesperson describes the production as full of magic, mayhem, laughter and mischief, with music, dancing, comedy and plenty of audience participation—the usual panto ingredients. The group has also mentioned that details are subject to change, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you're planning your dates.

There are five shows to choose from, so you can pick the one that fits your schedule best: Friday 4 December, Saturday 5 December, Friday 11 December, Friday 18 December and Saturday 19 December. The venue is St Mark's Church Centre, 2 Bessingby Gate, Scarborough. Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for children under 16, with a £1 booking fee on top.
