Yesterday i was privileged enough to see my first British pantomime! Dan, Val, Audrey and I went to watch Robin Hood under the temporary tent serving as Marlowe Theatre. It was really fun and interactive! The narrator, who was also a funny character in the show was dishing out jokes the entire time and asked the audience to participate with sound effects, singing, clapping and answering questions throughout the performance. I was actually impressed with their singing and dancing! It was fun to watch and so many of the kids in the arena were on the edge of their seats waving their flashing glow sticks around, boo-ing at the villain, and cheering for the hero, Robin Hood! It was great fun, and even though I didn't understand all of the British humor I was quite entertained and loved experiencing the English tradition of the pantomime.
