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.

Verdict: A delicious nut roast
Rating:
The first of this year’s cornucopia of Christmas Carols opened this week with the revered Simon Russell Beale as Ebenezer Scrooge at London’s Bridge Theatre.
And, wholesome and nourishing though Sir Nicholas Hytner’s adaptation of Dickens’s festive tale is, it is, in all honesty, more nut roast than turkey with all the trimmings.
I suspect the story’s appeal is that like Scrooge, we’re all hoping to awake from the nightmares we’re enduring, feeling rejuvenated.
But SRB is not the usual lean, mean stick of a Scrooge tormented by the ghosts of his past, present and future. A naturally warm actor, he’s more melancholic miser than full-on curmudgeon. In fact, with his plump figure and beard, he looks a lot like . . . Santa.
