Risque adult panto returning to Hunstanton
A saucy pantomime for adults only will be performed at the Princess Theatre in Hunstanton in November.
This year’s show is a corruption of the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood and promises all the trademarks of previous Market Theatre Company productions.
Following the sell-out success of Peter Panties prior to the hiatus caused by the pandemic, the company are delighted to be back on the road for their winter tour.
The company's adult pantos include farcical humour, over-the-top characters and more innuendo than you can shake a stick at.
For audiences who have been naughty this year this is the perfect show to see from the theatre company who are once again hitting the road with their latest interpretation of traditional family pantomime, strictly for adults only.
The Market Theatre Company hale from their own 70-seater theatre in the historic market town of Hitchin in Hertfordshire.
In the last 25 years their naughty alternative to traditional pantomime has gone from strength to strength, growing from a short four-week run to achieving almost cult status.
Writer Kirk Foster said: "Although adult, we certainly never set out to offend anyone and would say that we are suitable for audiences aged 16 -100.
"We have a fantastic cast of just three that work incredibly hard on that stage.
"Their energetic, fast-paced and always over-the-top performances make the show, even before you add in the many innuendos and the usual pantomime frolics."
This year’s cast are Nick Hooton, a veteran of the adult panto with some 16 years under his belt.
Jemma Carlisle is a seasoned pro when it comes to family pantomime and has performed in two adult pantos for the Market Theatre Company.
Tilly Howes returns following her adult panto debut last year.
Between them they play an abundance of familiar and not so familiar pantomime characters.
Nick Hooton, who plays the wicked wolf amongst many other characters said: "Little Red Riding Hood is such a well known story.
"We’ve got all the characters you know and also many more you won’t.
"It certainly keeps the three of us busy with costume changes."
Tilly Howes who plays one of two Little Red Riding Hoods in this version said: "One of the things I love about our adult panto’s is that we are constantly surprising audiences with where we take the original story and characters, that’s part of what makes us different. It all ends in confusion giving it a big farcical finish which has become our trademark."
Jemma Carlisle who plays the other Little Red Riding Hood said: "I have performed in family pantomimes for many years and this will be my first adult panto on tour. I can’t wait to get out there and see how the audiences respond."
The show is at the Princess Theatre, Hunstanton Saturday, November 13 at 7.30pm.
