====== Dick Turpentine (Michaelmas, 2000) ======

[[shows:first|First]] | [[shows:good_show_jeeves|Previous]] | [[shows:husband|Next]] | [[shows:latest|Latest]]

//Not only is it the only pantomime to be named after its villain, Dick Turpentine also features a full cast of goodies and baddies, including dames, fairies, imps and assorted random characters. With robberies, kidnap and blackmail, who needs a comprehensible plot?

Shout at the baddies, yell they're behind you at appropriate intervals, cheer the good guys on and generally behave like a load of five year olds. Please leave your maturity and inhibitions at the entrance so that they do not block the fire exits.//
