By Stephen Quinn. GRADS. Directed by Stephen Lee. New Fortune Theatre, University of Western Australia, Nedlands, WA. Nov 18 - Dec 3, 2022
I’m not sure that outdoor pantomime is a tradition anywhere in the world, but it probably should be - as GRADS’ Christmas Pantomime, Dick Whittington, sits very well in UWA’s open topped New Fortune Theatre, and is a great way to enjoy a summer’s evening. This pantomime, written by Stephen Quinn, and directed by Stephen Lee (who happen to be the same person) is very much of the British tradition, but adjusts to the warm weather and includes some great local references.
