About the event
The award-winning team behind smash-hit Derby Arena pantomimes is hatching a plan to make Mother Goose an action-packed adventure guaranteed to have the whole family honking with laughter.
Derby's Award Winning Dame, MORGAN BRIND, Coronation Street's TODD BOYCE, KRISTIAN CUNNINGHAM, NICOLA MARTINUS-SMITH, RODDY PETERS, DJALENGA SCOTT
Mother Goose has a loving family who drive her quackers, a bird sanctuary for peaky poultry in the village of Squalkstone and even a magical goose that lays golden eggs. She has everything anyone could possibly wish for, except the one thing she really wants, to be beautiful.
When she makes a deal with Demon Vanity a little fowl play means she gets a lot more than she bargained for.
Join us on this flight of fancy as the Egg-selent 2022 award-winning Dame Morgan Brind returns for this egg-stra special show packed full of hilarious yokes! It’s going to be cracking!
With s-peck-tacular sets, breath-taking special effects, egg-squisite costumes and mountains of mayhem, the team behind previous smash-hit Derby Arena pantomimes are hatching a plan to make this the perfect action-packed adventure guaranteed to have the whole family honking with laughter.
