History Of Pantomimes

The word pantomime comes from the Greek words Pan which means all and Mimos which is translated as imitator.

During the 16th and 17th century in Italy there were improvised comic stage drama which was called the
Commedia dell'arte from which our panto performances evolved.
Pantomimes are often abbreviated to panto or pantos. They evolved in the UK from early Middle Age performances
and are now popular at Christmas and the New Year. Earlier pantos would have had harlequins and clowns.
Traditions And Customs of Christmas Panto
Audience participation is the greatest custom and tradition in pantos and helps create a great evening or matinee
performance. Commonly it involves clapping, stamping of feet and shouting catchphrases to the stage, such as It's
behind you, booing and hissing each time when the villain steps onto the stage and a shouting match between cast and
audience shouting louder oh yes it is or oh no it isn't.
Each panto performance needs a villain or baddies for the audience to boo at, a hero (usually a Prince) to adore,
a heroine with lovely long legs for the dads to enjoy looking at and some comedy actors or actresses to play
bungling parts such as the ugly sisters.
The pantomime Dame is usually played by a male actor in drag costume. Characters include Widow Twankey.

The principal male part is usually played by a female.
There has to be a song and dance involving the cast as well as a slapstick chase.
Double entendre jokes and innuendos need to be subtle enough for the children but smutty enough for the adults.
