Full of all the usual panto antics and humour, Aladdin was a colourful and charming panto to watch - especially with those lovely Chinese lions making an appearance.  Attic Theatre would like to thank Pete Thomson for his enthusiasm and commitment in producing "Aladdin". Many thanks also to his production team, cast and crew for all their hard work who yet again, have given us another successful Attic panto.

Once upon a time, there was a young boy called Aladdin who, with his brother Wishee Washee, and mother Widow Twanky, run a laundry in Peking China. Aladdin meets and falls in love with the Emperors daughter, Princess So Shi, but as he and his family are poor he is unable to marry her. The Princess loses Ping Pong her pet Panda and Aladdin decides to find Ping Pong to impress the Princess, but the evil Abanazar has other plans.

However before Aladdin can marry his love, Abanazar steals the lamp and kidnaps the princess. Will Aladdin manage to save the day? Will Abanazer get his just desert? Will anybody find Ping Pong? ..... Come along and find out
