The Arts Society Harpenden Area Lecture -Pantomime: A Very British Feast

The Arts Society Harpenden Area DFAS, a lecture given by Giles Ramsey on Pantomime: A Very British Feast. Over 2,500 years in the making, the great British pantomime is a very potent brew indeed. Mix the earliest Greek and Roman drama with commedia dell'arte and medieval morality plays, then stir in a sprig of 17th century masque, a dash of 18th century harlequinade and a hefty shot of Victorian music hall and, hey presto, you have the modern Christmas pantomime. (Oh no you don't!).
