After a run of sold out previews, Stantonbury Theatre's second in-house pantomime opens for the festive season tonight. Directed by Stantonbury artistic director Lucy Cuthbertson and written by Kerry Frampton and Ben Hales, the show takes a fresh look at the well-known tale of Red Riding Hood in what is becoming a recognisably Stantonbury style - rejecting expectations, challenging the stereotypes of classic fairy tales, foregrounding female protagonists and genuinely offering something for every generation.

Noted theatrical idiots Splendid Productions team up with panto powerhouse Greenwich Theatre and the legendary performers of Stantonbury Campus to present the most swash-buckling pantomime in the land and put an arrow in your bow, a song in your heart and a smile on your face - an unmissable Christmas treat for all the family!
