The Book of Panto | By Craig Revel Horwood
It's behind you!
As Craig Revel Horwood has performed in pantomime for twenty years, you could be forgiven for assuming he was always a fan of the genre. In fact, he used to be anything but.
In The Book of Panto, he traces the moments that turned him from a sceptic to a whole-hearted fan of - and advocate for - panto, as he follows its journey from ancient, international roots to its current status as a beloved British phenomenon. Immersing us in a cast of backstage characters - from celebrity performers to costumiers and script writers, set-designers to directors and producers - this book promises a romp through the ages that shows us (oh yes it does) why it's more popular today than ever before.
