THEY’RE a festive tradition that Reading can’t get enough of, and thankfully they’ll be back this Christmas.
Reading’s pantomime double act, Justin Fletcher and Paul Morse, will once gain be treading the boards together.
And while the festive season might seem far away, work has already begun on The Hexagon’s show, which this year will be Jack and the Beanstalk.
CBeebies megastar Justin is well-known as Mr Tumble, but this year he will be one of the Trot family, while Paul will once again play the dame.
Over the years, they have formed a formidable double act, reducing audiences to tears of laughter through their skits.
They include the hilarious ballet routine where they only say one word … balloon.
Other cast members will be announced in due course, but organisers are promising all the ingredients for a perfect family pantomime, including a dastardly villain, musical numbers and some slapstick fun.
It will once again be produced for Reading Arts by Imagine Theatre.
The show runs at The Hexagon from Saturday, December 3, through to bank holiday Monday, January 2. Relaxed and signed performance will take place.
Early bird tickets are on sale, with special rates, until March 31.
