The Good, The Bad and The Panto

The Good, The Bad and The Panto was the January 2020 pantomime performed by Colne Engaine Dramatic Society.

By Paul Barron, this was a fast-paced tale set in the Wild West. With all the ingredients of a traditional Panto, the show had audiences tappin’ their feet and whip crackin’ along at the Doris Day tribute night in ole Shirley’s saloon bar! We travelled back in time to the gold rush, where a secret love, a gold mine and a crazy bandit all come together, with the odd white chocolate bar thrown in for good measure. In true pantomime fashion, good overcame evil and love won the day…
