The Penelopiad
Sinodun Players, The Corn Exchange, Wallingford
A panto written by the Director and named after the villain provided well-integrated opportunities for spectacle, with the best ever U/V sequence of dancing sweets in the dream of Dame Sweetie; flying scenes for Principal Girl with a Reindeer, the comedians and the eventual defeat of the villain; and glorious Arctic scenery with penguins(!?), polar bear and a pointe dancer supplemented by glamorous icicle-clad lovelies to cap all the brilliant choreography. Fine singing from the chorus and the two superb leads.
