The Panto Company – all at sea!
At Brent Cross Winter Wonderland

The UK’s fastest growing children’s theatre producers, The Panto Company, are performing a free Robinson Crusoe Panto for children at Brent Cross’s Winter Wonderland everyday this Christmas until January 5th. Performing 14 shows a day 7 days a week, means 29400 people could see it every week a total of 117,600 for the run …. Now that’s out of this world!

It's the tale of the heroic captain of the Good Ship Lizzie. His mission: to seek out wondrous treasures, discover strange new lands, and to boldly go where no action-packed adventure has gone before! When Crusoe is shipwrecked, he has more than new lands and treasure on his mind. There's his hilarious new friend, Man Friday; the beautiful Princess Moonflower; and the wicked pirate, Captain Hogwash – more evil than Jack Sparrow could handle.

“It’s wonderful to see all the show running and going down great with the audiences,” said Director Matt Lee-Alliston as the show opened last week. “Even at this early stage the venue looks great, the local audiences are amazing and the finishing touches have been added to our stunning set piece – Robinson Crusoe’s ship – The Good Ship Lizzie!”

Asked whether Daniel Defoe would approve of The Panto Company’s version of Robinson Crusoe, Matt said, “I think he’d be right there with us! One of my ancestors, Lord Townsend, freed Defoe from prison in 1714 after he was convicted for libel and, after a short spell as a government spy, he settled into the life of a novelist, writing Robinson Crusoe five years later.”

“Who knows, if my ancestor hadn’t been quite so forgiving, the book may not have even been written.”
Brent Cross General Manager Tom Nathan said the Panto at Winter Wonderland had really added to the festive celebrations at Brent Cross:

“It’s a pleasure for the centre to host the impressive Robinson Crusoe Panto this Christmas, there’s so much on offer here for visitors of all ages to enjoy, making this a truly one-stop shop for all.”

The Brent Cross Winter Wonderland has a host of other rides and attractions including a Ferris wheel, carousel and the Centre’s first ever ice rink! Shoppers can also enjoy a different kind of shopping with a browse around the Christmas Village market for food and drink.
