Sarah Nixon and Mark Chatterton - Making Pantomime

This time we talk to Sarah and Mark about their extensive experience writing and directing pantomime. Their own particular brand of raucous rock-n-roll panto has been seen for 19 consecutive years at the Liverpool Everyman, during which time, along side their multi-talented cast of actor-musicians, they have built a loyal and lively audience. We hear about their unique approach to developing the script, the true intent of the Flowerpot Men, managing the hazards of magic hair, and getting into a panto frame of mind on a beach in mid August. They also talk frankly about the precarious nature of being a freelancer, but despite having made ther last panto for the Everyman, and facing an uncertain year, rest assured; it might well be behind you , but it's most certainly not behind them ..
