Introduction
SLT has commissioned its third pantomime from writer/director Stuart Draper. This season's offering is Cinderella: the classic rags to riches tale of the girl who not only gets to go to the ball, but gets her man.
Join Baron Hardup and his scheming daughters, the hapless Buttons, Daniel Deeny (Dan to his friends, with an interesting taste in legwear) and of course the beautiful Prince Charming. All aided and abbetted by Nuff, the Fairy Godfather.
With fabulous sets, sumptious costumes and magical effects, the SLT Panto is regarded as one of the best pantomimes in South London - and this year will be even bigger and brighter than before.
Cast
It's pretty much the normal cast of Cinderella: Ugly Sisters, Broker's Men, evil Stepmum. Breaks with tradition include the introduction of the rat and the dog as narrators who live in the kitchen with Cinderella (one scene actually includes a host of other animals, including a donkey, a cow, a cat and all the other puppets/heads we have in wardrobe at SLT - We All Stand Together). These are great roles, very much in the vein of the mongoose and warthog in Lion King, as the actors are seen and dressed as the 'human equivalent' of the puppets they are manipulating.
The Fairy is a bloke - top half pure Godfather, bottom half pure Fairy.Once again there will be two decent roles for youth group members - Cinderella and Buttons. The part of Buttons has lots of pathos
