Photographs from Broxbourne's OWN 2005/6 panto ...   by Leonard H Caddy   In the Secret Palace hidden deep in Magic Thorn Wood, Princess Beauty was sleeping. Under the 100 year spell of the wicked Fairy Nightshade and the poisoned spinning wheel, she awaited the handsome Prince who alone could revive her. There was a double dose of comedy as crazy servants Bubble and Squeak noticed Mop and Brushup, those argumentative palace maids from a bygone century. A shaggy four legged Sir Lancelot added horseplay and Queen Maria made a not very majestic but highly amusing Pantomime Dame. You met also the bumbling Wizard Wombosa, King Wimple, Queen Grandilla, Nurse Cecilia and a full supporting cast and chorus of fairies, ghosts, elves and animals. With Sleeping Beauty, Broxbourne Theatre Company presented the next in a 60 year series of colourful and spectacular pantomimes. Well over a hundred thousand panto tickets had been sold since ETCEA moved its shows to Broxbourne Civic Hall more than 25 years earlier and with top prices at most other nearby pantomimes around 50% higher, you were also assured of best value for miles around.
