PRESS RELEASE
Un-tangle our out-of-season Panto!
Saturday 17 August, 2013
6.30pm – 10.00pm
· Pantomime adds fizz to half Price Family Night
· Out-of-season Panto brings summer smiles
Expect the unexpected at Black Country Living Museum this summer, where an out-of-season pantomime will guarantee sunshine and smiles at the Museum’s half price Family Night on Saturday 17 August, 2013.
The vagaries of the British weather are reflected in Fizzog Productions’ ‘Little Red Goldilocks’ where an unseasonal smorgasbord of myths and legends mixes up the classic fairy tale and nothing is quite as expected! A tangled web of adventure, fabled lands, romance, heroines, heroes, bears and wolves is given a Black Country twist as it weaves its way towards a Happy Ever After.
Fizzog – a Black Country word for face – was formed in 1999 by founding members Deb Nicholls, Sue Hawkins, and Jacky Fellows. The trio use regional humour and drama to entertain and educate audiences.
Deb Nicholls of Fizzog Productions said: “We decided to take our cue from the British weather and mix things up a bit with some unseasonal entertainment. The pantomime has all the ingredients of a typical summer holiday with a little bit of sunshine, gathering storm clouds, a little rain and a rainbow all thrown in for good measure. And just like our weather – always expect the unexpected.”
Performances take place at 7pm, 8pm and 9pm in the Workers’ Institute and in included in the Museum admission price. Please contact the Museum's Booking Office on 0121 520 8054 or book online at www.bclm.com Tickets are pre-book only and will be half the normal admission price.
