Kenilworth play looks backstage at pantomime

Look Behind You by Daniel Wain will be staged from Wednesday September 7 to Saturday September 17.

Many see pantomime as a cross-dressing, thigh-slapping, wise-cracking world, where men are women, monkeys talk and dreams come true. 

But behind the scenes lies a bad-mouthing, two-timing pressure cooker that is the backstage reality. 

A spokesman said: “Whether you love panto or hate it there is something in this dark comedy play for you. Daniel Wain’s tragicomic panto-within- a-play chronicles both the on and off-stage lives of the cast and crew of a repertory production of Dick Whittington that is rapidly going downhill even on the opening night.

“The traditional family pantomime? Oh no, it isn’t!”

The show is not suitable for children.
