Theatre Royal Winchester’s panto favourites, Julian Eardley, Ed Thorpe, and Libby Gore

are set to return later this year in the theatre’s traditional family pantomime, Aladdin.

The trio have previously performed together at Theatre Royal Winchester in Dick

Whittington and last year’s socially distanced panto inspired Christmas show - Four Dames

in Search of a Panto.

This year Julian plays Widow Twankey - his 12th year in Winchester playing a Dame.

Julian’s first panto in Winchester was in 2008 when he played Smelle Bottom - which he

describes as a ‘role close to my heart!’.

Aladdin at Theatre Royal Winchester runs from Saturday 4 December 2021 to Sunday 2

January 2022. Tickets are available from theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk or call 01962 840
