Cinderella
I did worry that pantomime – that most audience-driven of theatrical pursuits – might not work through the tube, but Nottingham Playhouse s warm and funny show dispels any doubts. Pandemic jokes abound (the audience must be smelly because they re sitting far apart, for instance) in writer-director Adam Penford s inventive romp.

âRecently Iâve lost my sense of taste and smell,â says David Alburyâs Prince as he wonders through the woods with Jessica Leeâs Dandini. Clearly itâs not too soon for Covid jokes in Nottingham Playhouseâs traditional panto. John Elkington and Tom Hopcroft as the ugly sisters have already made fun of the socially distanced audience for being too smelly to sit together.
Their quips are true to the defiant spirit of a classy panto. Writer and director Adam Penford is not about to let the small matter of a pandemic stop the show from going on.
