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.

Set in a Scotland "lost in the mists of time", this new version of the familiar story uses elements of ancient Celtic folklore and the supernatural as its main themes. Calluna, Queen of the Faeries, finds a way to rid the land forever from the evil influences of Queen Thron and her Hobgoblins. Her son, prince Alban, must marry a Mortal Bride! The wisest of the Faerie Godmothers, Dalriada, sets out from the Faerie Glen to find a suitable candidate, eventually choosing Cinderella, the kind-hearted daughter of the daft Laird of Clartystanes Castle. Queen Thron, learning of this, worms her way into the Laird's affections and marries him. Unwittingly getting caught up in her evil machinations are her silly and somewhat "photogenically challenged" daughters. When Calluna announces "The Great Gathering", where Alban will choose his bride, Thron does everything in her power to ensure her daughters are well to the fore!

Narrated and told in "flashback" by Buttons, "The Legend of Cinderella" is an affectionate variation on the classic Panto tale beloved of generations of theatregoers

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.

This year's panto sees us meeting outside the Admiral Benbow Inn owned by Aunt Sally Forth, assisted by her son Jack and his sister Mary. In on the tide comes Long John Silver who holds one half of a treasure map. With him are his merry band of henchmen, Jolly Roger and Blind Pugh & Israel hands and Ben Gunn;

Jim Hawkins, joins the above mentioned along with Squire Trelawney and Doctor Livesey, not forgetting Spot the Dog and together we all sail off on The Hispaniola in search of the long lost treasure. Sally Forth holds the other half of the map and Silver tries to get his hands on it any way he can by hook or by crook!

Arriving on the desert island everyone goes off in search of the treasure which leads to much skull duggery. Who will find the treasure, and will we have a happy ever after?

Our annual pantomine for 2006 is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" by Stephen Duckam. As usual this show will take place in Carnoustie High School's Theatre.

Snow White is eighteen and to Queen Malevolent’s rage is pronounced ‘fairest in the land’ by the Spirit of the Mirror. Handsome Prince Rupert arrives at court and is instantly attracted to Snow White...
