Irchester Players transported to China to take on Aladdin for annual panto
Irchester Players’ Aladdin begins its run on Valentine’s Day (February 14)
Audiences have been promised ‘huge laughs’ as Irchester Players prepare to bring Aladdin to the stage for their annual pantomime.
It is the fourth time the drama group has performed Aladdin – as the all singing, all dancing cast tell the story of our hero, his mum Widow Twankey and his brother Wishee Washee.
The magical adventure starts as the evil Abanazar plans to become master of the world with help from the Genie of The Lamp and the Spirit Of The Ring.


Aladdin juggles saving the world and trying to hook up with the beautiful Princess Jasmine all taking place in Parsons Hall, Irchester.
The Director and CEO of the Irchester Player, Alex McKenzie said: “This production is another incredible pantomime for Irchester Players involving some huge laughs throughout.
"The cast and crew are working round the clock to put this fantastic production together and we are so excited to have our audience come and watch.”
By arrangement with Stage Right Creative Ltd and written by Alan P Frayn, Irchester Players have been busy in rehearsals so expect fantastic songs and dances throughout.


Alex added: “We start an amazing four-day run on February 14 and ending on February 17, for five shows – two on Saturday, February 17.”
Irchester Players’ Aladdin takes place at Parsons Hall in High Street, Irchester. The show begins at 7.30pm each night with a 2pm show on the final Saturday. Doors open 45 minutes prior to each performance starting.
