The British (or is it the English) have a unique entertainment form – the Pantomime – which is usually staged around the Christmas / New Year season. This year St. Mary’s Church in Caterham, Surrey staged Rumplestitskin. Men dress up as Dames, girls dress up as boys and everyone, including the audience, get involved, all in aid of church funds.
Getting through generations of pantomimes has undoubtedly contributed to the sort of steely British fortitude which ruled half the world and weathered the Blitz.
Photographing the show is a challenge – low lighting, definitely no flash, stationary position and some pretty erratic movement at times make it interesting.
