“Ayr Gaiety once again shows it’s not afraid to take risks in this bold and refreshing take on one of panto’s most loved fairytales. This in-house production really pushes the boundaries of what’s possible on Scotland’s smaller stages, showcasing the very best Ayrshire patter… Fraser Boyle and Ken Alexander’s reworking of the story is as much a love letter to storytelling as it is to the art form of pantomime itself… The fresh take also challenges issues of consent and gives an inspired solution to the titular character going to sleep for the majority of the show. It’s a completely unique tale for the Gaiety stage… If this year’s panto offering is anything to go by, Ayr’s Gaiety Theatre will remain the one to watch for new and innovative ways to deliver a modern pantomime to audiences in Scotland.” Fraser MacDonald, Braw Theatre
