The Great Panto Bake Off was an original script, written by CEDS members Stephen Hector and Darran Lingley.
As per CEDS usual panto style, the cast and crew were extensive, the performances and staging were epic and much hilarity ensued!
“The history of pantomime goes back hundreds of years and so, sadly, do many of our jokes.
Panto stories are usually based upon fables and fairy tales but this year we’ve written the script ourselves by transporting a modern classic, ‘The Bake Off’, to Panto Land where characters from both worlds co-exist. You may even recognise a few of the characters!“
