There are gags a plenty at this years TheatreworX Panto, Hansel & Gretel, now showing at the Helix Theatre in Dublin.

Lots of familiar faces thread the boards again including the wonderful Paul Byrom as Donny, Colin Hughes as the ever popular Buddy, Aidan Mannion as the comical Laurel and lots more. The skits are just great and there’s so much packed in there with lots of references to everyday gripes and groans.

This years Panto is a play on the Hansel and Gretel story, which sees the shows two main characters Brian Dalton and Caoimhe Garvey, in search of the ‘moon stone’. They are aided on their quest by a wonderful cast or characters including the forest Humicorns, played by Orla Jennings and Jordan Bass, Merryville villagers and a funny and scary (not scary) forest witch from Eastwall in Dublin 😊

No write up would be complete without a shout out to Chris Corroon who plays the larger than life Lola, the hilarious panto mammy! Also look out for Bradley Byrom, the furry four legged son of Paul Byrom who makes a special guest appearance. The Theatreworx cast really do put on a great show, including a wonderful troupe of talented child and adult dancers. Super performances all round by a very talented cast.

There’s great fun for the kids from Buddy and Laurel and lots of familiar tunes to keep the audience toe tapping along. Will Hansel and Gretel get to the moon stone in time, or will the dastardly Donny get there first and ruin their plans? The stage is truly set for a highly entertaining seasonal Panto that all members of the family are sure to enjoy! Visit www.helix.ie to book your tickets
