There's a war on and for Glasgow, like the rest of Britain, that means air raids, black-outs, food rationing, barrage balloons and the pain of parting as husbands and fathers go off to fight.

For the McSorleys and their neighbours in the East End tenements its a case of making the best of what life has to offer.

This is their laugh-a-line story capturing all the wit and spirit of city life during the dark days of the forties when the grit and humour of Glaswegians overcame all adversities. James Barclay has created a marvellous range of characters which evoke a wonderful nostalgic picture of the Glasgow we used to know.

The story centres on Ali Baba a poor barber living with his son, Rhum.

Although poor he is very happy, except when he is trying to avoid the romantic advances of his neighbour, Fatima Kebab.

The happiness does not last, however, as evil appears in the form of El Scorpio, a mysterious character, and his band of thieves who are after all the riches in the land.

But will everything go to their evil plan? This pantomime had lots to offer with laughs, goodies to cheer and as ever, baddies to boo.

This children's classic is brought to life in the adaptation by Kate Parry. All your favourite characters were there; The Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit, Mad Hatter and many more. We followed Alice's adventure to find the secret to freeing Wonderland and as in every good panto - good prevailed over evil and a happy ending was of course the outcome.
