Media Reviews
'One of the mysteries of pantomime is where all the funny business comes from - the front cloth skits, the comedy devised to permit scene changes, the wordy exchanges between the Ugly Sisters and so on. This is because they have never been written down. Dozens and dozens of items have simply been handed down from generation, from Clarkson Rose to Danny La Rue and all the other greats of panto. This has now been rectified by Paul Harris.' - The Stage
