THE producer and director of Turnpike Community Theatre's upcoming Cinderella pantomime is promising that the festive comedy will provide plenty of 'fun and laughter for audiences young and old'

Rehearsals are well under way for the show, which will kick off the Christmas season at the theatre and boasts Mark Bassett and Richard Pilkington playing the ugly sisters.

Neil Gredecki said: “If there is one thing that the critics say we do well at Turnpike it's the annual pantomime, that is always filled with fun and laughter for audiences young and old.”

The pantomime will run at the Turnpike Gallery in Leigh from November 29 until December 3.

The shows start at 7.15pm, with an additional matinee performance on December 3 beginning at 2.15pm.

Tickets cost £5 or £4.50 for concessions. Family tickets for two adults and two children cost £17.
