IT’S panto season at the Royal Manor Theatre on Portland - oh yes it is!

See Ali Baba and the Four Thieves at the Fortuneswell theatre from Friday, February 8 to Sunday, February 10.

When Ali Baba and his brother Kasim are robbed in the souk, Ali Baba vows to track the thieves.

On his journey he encounters a collection of delectable dancers, snake charmers, thieves and a camel, amongst others. What will he discover on his mammoth trek through the mountains? How did that genie get into the dusty old lamp? Will Ali Baba get his wishes granted? Find out, with this family-friendly show.

The pantomime is directed by Jo Mackay and stars many well known local faces.
