Mother Goose 2024

Nominated for The Best Pantomime at The British Pantomime Awards

The Customs House, South Shields

A bold, high-energy take on the classic panto — full of heart, mischief, and unmistakable North East spirit. Set in the magical world of Cooksonville, Mother Goose delivered dazzling visuals, cracking one-liners, and crowd-pleasing tunes.

This reimagined production balanced tradition with modern mischief — featuring talking geese, roller-skating fairies, and a villain audiences loved to boo.

Critics called it “joyful, heartfelt and full of local flair” .
