22nd to 30th December 2023 at Social, Humber Street, Hull. Hull’s original rock’n’roll panto is back with yet another anarchic take on a classic fairy tale.
Christmas 2023. A full moon is a-rising. Trouble is on the way… Red Riding Hood and granny, Pattie Breadcake, have their hands full at the Buns of Steel bakery. The people of Hull depend on their delicious free food, but the bakery stands in the way of Baroness Scrimp’s evil empire. Enter news reporter Rupert Scaremonger, famed hunter Colonel Blowhard and a werewolf on the streets of Hull. Awoooo! Will Red Riding Hood and Pattie Breadcake see off Scrimp’s wicked ways? Or will her beastly plan make for soggy bottoms at the Buns of Steel? Find out in Hull’s silliest Christmas show, featuring live music and the chance to make as much noise as you possibly can.
First performed in 2011, our alternative panto is a homegrown hit, with a different story chosen every year by our audience. Catch us down Humber Street this Christmas to join the gang and kickstart a new family tradition.
Running time: 1hr 40m, including an interval. Age guidance: 4+, although younger children also enjoy the lights, music and sound. Family performances:
