1. Five Children And It - Progress Theatre
Get Wokingham, Wednesday 31 December 2008With a rather radical adaptation of E Nesbit’s classic children’s fantasy the Progress Theatre are able to finish yet another year on a high.
2. Peter Pan at The Theatre Royal Windsor
Get Wokingham, Tuesday 30 December 2008This pantomime adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s play is just about as close to perfect as you could hope for it to be – and this mostly comes down to a very fine sense of balance.
3. Dick is a Christmas cracker
Get Wokingham, Monday 15 December 2008The plot of a pantomime is usually little more than a sketched out excuse to pile a lot of jokes, songs and set pieces, and never is this more so than with this version of Dick Whittington, which barely has anything to do with the historical tale.
4. Oh What A Lovely War! South Street
Get Wokingham, Friday 12 December 2008From the very first staging in the early 60s this has always been a particularly stylised show – originally performed in Pierrot costumes, with the records of battlefield casualties and yards gained continuously displayed on cricket scoreboards.

7. Dick Whittington at the Hexagon
Get Wokingham, Wednesday 10 December 2008The plot of a pantomime is usually little more than a sketched out excuse to pile a lot of jokes, songs and set pieces.
8. Flhip Flhop at South Street
Get Wokingham, Wednesday 19 November 2008Take a whole bag full of classic comedy routines, shake them up and spill them out in an age of hip-hop sensibilities and you end up with a show like this.
9. Mile End at South Street
Get Wokingham, Friday 07 November 2008The Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart runs through the centre of this play like a backbone that’s giving way, and aptly so too.
10. The Witches Of Eastwick at The Hexagon
Get Wokingham, Monday 03 November 2008The first thing to say is that Jack Nicholson is never, ever going to be an easy man to follow.
