All theatre has truth, from Theatre in Education to panto to Shakespeare.

The idea with theatre is to come to an environment that you enjoy.

Everyone has their own taste: some like theatre, some don't, some like opera, some don't, some like pantomimes, and some don't.

There is of course a dark side to panto because there are always baddies and you can't have a baddie without a dark side. But most of the time the baddies become good.

I love London. I know it's an old saying but there's always something to do, so much so that when you live here you end up not actually doing much!

Although it may be the easiest, it's not always the best.

People love the traditional pantomimes and I don't think we need to disregard that tradition.
