PWC presents: Aladdin

The Mill Volvo Tyne Theatre is proud to announce that it will be host to Aladdin, performed by PwC's annual amateur pantomime, including performances for a specially invited audience of children on Thursday 9^th-Saturday 11^th February 2012.

Abanazar is an evil sorcerer from Egypt who seeks a mystical lamp containing an all powerful Genie. Abanazar is told by his servant, the Slave of the Ring, that he must recruit Aladdin, a young Chinese boy, to enter the cave which holds the lamp, so off he heads to China to find him. Meanwhile in China, Aladdin is getting into all sorts of trouble, trying to sneak a look at the beautiful Princess Jasmine, a crime for which the Emperor, the Princess's father, has assigned the death penalty!

Aladdin's brother Wishee Washee and the Princess' handmaiden try to help Aladdin avoid the hapless Chinese Policemen, whilst two escaped pandas join him on the run. Aladdin’s overbearing mother Widow Twankey hides him, when he is persuaded by Abanazar to get the lamp under the false promise of treasure within the cave in return for his help. Failing to find any treasure, Aladdin angers Abanazar and is locked in the cave. Will our hero be able to escape?!

*Please note that we will only be selling Grand Circle seats for the performances on 9th and 11th February 2012. Shows on the 10th February 2012 are closed performances for schools and charities only.
