Hickory Dickory Dock
by Graham Barraclough
directed by Sue Duncan
At Lancing Parish Hall - 15 to 17 January 2015
When Glitch, the Crimson Witch tampers with time in the village of Hickory Dickory, it’s a race against the clock to get things ticking over again. Fairy Flywheel finds a way for Carrie Bucket, and her friends to set off in search of Father Time, the only person who could hold the key to the problem. Things hardly run like clockwork, but with the help of Grandmother Clock and the Time Lord, Doctor Watt (Who?), the time-travellers manage to keep one step ahead of the wicked Witch, and wind up safely back home. How time flies when you’re having fun!
Director Sue Duncan says:
"Hey panto time is here again, lots of fun for everyone. I wanted something a little different, not the normal panto show and I found it. Hickory Dickory Dock has given us some challenges and lots of rib aches (from laughing of course). Lancing Repertory Players has a very good following audience and we are so grateful to everyone. You support us and we entertain you in return. A win win situation isn’t it. Have you ever thought of being on our side so to speak, giving up your audience seat and joining us to entertain others. Give it a try, come along and see what fun we have."
Come along to see this more modern take on a Pantomime, with many the traditional elements as well.
