SINBAD THE SEAMAN – THE ADULT PANTO

(Crewe Lyceum, Jan 19)

Hot on the heels of last year’s Adult Panto – Puss & Dick the Market Theatre Company return to bring to life the story of Sinbad the Sailor and his epic adventures across the seas to defeat the one-eyed monster – packing it with corny jokes, raunchy plots and blatant sexual innuendo.

With a minimum of set, props and costume the fearless company of three will take this traditional story and distort it almost beyond recognition.

Featuring Nick Hooton, Carrie Laurence and Pip Johnson – who, with the help of various traditional pantomime characters (and some not so traditional) will keep you entertained and prolong the all too short seasonal spirit!

Get ready for an evening of slick, fast-moving, farcical fun and bawdy sexual innuendo (did we mention the innuendo?) for adults only.

Not suitable for under 16s. Tickets are £19.50, the show starts at 7.30pm and for more details, call 01270 368 242.
