18th December 2020Hull: Middle Child Theatre to show online Panto

Four panto princesses retold, one hilarious animated show
December 2020. Theatres across the land are closed and four fairy tale princesses have arrived in Hull, eager to retell their stories for a modern audience.
Step forward, Pattie Breadcake: the one queen smart and charming enough to help our heroes. The only problem? Pattie is stuck at home!
If she’s to save Christmas this year then our favourite dame will have to go digital and travel through a major plot hole into… THE PANTOVERSE.
Can Sleeping Beauty defeat a curse that will send her to sleep for 100 years?
Will Maid Marian motivate her outlaws and save Sherwood Forest?
Can the Evil Queen smash the patriarchy and discover her inner beauty?
And will Cinderella shake off her loneliness to make new friends at school?
Find out in Pattie Breadcake: Into the Pantoverse, a free, animated Christmas show, inspired by panto, to enjoy from the comfort of your own home, produced in collaboration with My Pockets.
Watch it on YouTube from midday on Saturday 19 December to midnight on Thursday 31 December.
Pattie Breadcake: Into the Pantoverse is made possible by support from the Cultural Recovery Fund.
