Put it this way – the National Theatre hasn’t done pantomime for a long time, and it shows. They did well to avoid celebrity casting, and while their efforts were honourable in their tribute to each and every other theatre in the country whose pantomimes have been postponed for a year (or even cancelled altogether for certain venues that have permanently closed their doors), it was like watching the England football team in the knock-out stages of the World Cup: they gave it their all, for sure, but it just didn’t turn out as well as it could have done.
