There is still time to get tickets for New Strolling Players’ production of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, with Kaleidoscope’s very own Kelly Pearce taking a lead role.

Tony Moore plays the villain of the show with exceptional gusto and is aptly supported by Phil Selby’s split-second adlibbing and quick wit. Very much a traditional pantomime the dialogue encompasses local references and encourages audience participation at every available opportunity.
