Open Sesame with Ali Baba

The Orpen Players of West Bergholt presents Ali Baba a traditional family pantomime with a brand new script by Peter Cox.  This is Peter’s fourth pantomime with the group, so the audiences can expect the usual highly colourful show with plenty of slapstick and humour, balanced with a little romance, dancing and spectacle.  As is Peter’s custom, there will be a link to a contemporary TV show and the audience is encouraged to be actively involved.
