If you’re planning on booking up for the Christmas tradition, here’s a round up of pantos taking place across the North East.
9. Snow White, Alnwick Playhouse, December 13-30
Alnwick Playhouse hosts the magical tale of Snow White from December 13-30, adapted from the Brothers Grimm classic. It's a magical retelling of the classic fairytale. Mad magic combines with ridiculous rhymes, silly songs and more little beards than you can shake a stick at. Photo: Jane Coltman
