Like any new recruit Thomas O’Leary had to serve his time, had to frequent the margins for a while before taking centre stage. His first foray into pantomime was forgettable for everyone but himself, a two-line role as soldier number two in a 1991 production of Robin Hood meets Frankenstein.
Following their sell out production of Aladdin at the National Opera House in 2023 Wexford Pantomime Society opens this week with a brand-new panto adventure, written and directed by Thomas O’Leary.
