Once again they were taking to the stage at the Jersey Opera House to begin their annual two-week pantomime run, this year with a production of the fairytale classic, Sleeping Beauty.
As ever, Islanders have already been coming out in force to give the festive show their support, and they haven’t been disappointed. A virtually full house – largely made up of children, hyper-active from the festive abundance of sweets – joyfully booed, hissed and screeched their way through the 2½-hour show.
Written and directed by BBC Jersey’s Matthew Price, the show also features plenty of local references, including numerous digs at our States Members, as well as a reference to Waitrose’s arrival in the Island this year and a remark about the current state of the postal service.
• Sleeping Beauty continues at the Jersey Opera House until Sunday 8 January.
