KATS - Arabian Knights the Panto


On Friday afternoon I took the boys along to see the latest production by the Kennet Amateur Theatrical Society. We met Joyce there and were escorted to our front row seats by committee member Nina Hopkinson.


All the traditional panto ingredients were there - a fantastic dame (Andy Pocock), a dastardly villain to boo and hiss (Mike Cole), a thigh slapping leading man who wasn't! (Siouxsie Ashmore) and a pantomime camel - as in the photo! Also plenty of 'he's behind you' and 'oh yes you did'.


The dancers from the West Berkshire Ballet School deserve a particular mention because they were step perfect, and the costumes throughout were also excellent. I could tell the whole of KATS hugely enjoyed themselves in this performance, it was great fun.
