Details

Traditional British pantomime about a woman whose greed gets the better of her. The Mother of all pantomimes is back in Hackney this festive season, starring Clive Rowe as Mother Goose. First created in 1902 for Music Hall legend and Hackney Empire regular Dan Leno, we're thrilled to be able to celebrate 120 years of this iconic pantomime in our 120th birthday year! What would you do if you found a magical goose who lays golden eggs?! That's exactly what's in store for Mother Goose and she soon discovers that this priceless talent isn't all it's CRACKED up to be! Packed full of all of your favourite pantomime ingredients, this reimagining of the classic rags-to-riches tale is the perfect festive treat. Expect larger than life characters, gloriously outrageous costumes, incredible live music, uncontrollable laughter and loads of audience participation... oh yes, there definitely is.
