The Knightmare Pantomime

[HarveyTowers]

Seen as it's panto season once more, can you suggest who the KM cast might play in pantomime this year?

[MoanaLiza]

(Well not including Hugo Myatt.) Did you mean actors or charaters? If you meant characters Mrs. G would obviously be panto dame. Anyway did you have a perticular panto in mind? (Sorry me being picky). Aaaah. Now I've thought. Cinderella.

Mrs. G and Mildred, two ugly step sisters

Aesandre, wicked step mum

Elita (imagine), fairy godmother. Nope, I've changed my mind. I think Sidriss is more suited.

Now the prince. Hmmmm...... Treguard.... No... Ridolfo

Now who else goes away to try and think.

[HarveyTowers]

Nothing specific, but as some KM actors are veteran panto stars anyway I was thinking more of characters for instance:

The Old Dungeon Presents

ALADIN

Starring Stiletta as principle boy - the theif level thief Aladin) with Motley: Wishee Washee by name (and in his jokes) and Treguard as Widow Twanky.

And, starting off in a small way, Majida as the Genie of the Ring with Grimaldine as the Genie of the Lamp.

Not forgetting Sidriss as the Princess and Hordriss as the Emporer of China and Ah Wok as the Chinese Policemen.

Finally, prepare to boo at Lord Fear as Abonazer.

[Thanatos]

Lord Fear and Mrs. Grimwold are fairly obvious candidates for villain and dame respectively. Skarkill and Hands could be the broker's men. There are several candidates for the heroine, but the hero could be a problem, as Knightmare didn't feature any men played by women (as far as I can recall). I can see Motley as a love-lorn Buttons-like figure; I'm not sure why, but he seems appropriate (perhaps Jack Point from The Yeomen of the Guard is at the back of my mind).

[Pooka]

I suppose Gwendoline could pass for a man if she was a Robin Hood-like figure.

Pickle: "I sense something, it isn't magical, so since it's human and we can't see it then it must be."

Treguard: "an ASSASSIN, and HE'S BEHIND YOU."
