A BRIEF HISTORY OF PANTOMIME Pantomime is a unique British tradition commonly found in theatres up and down the UK throughout the winter period. In fact, Pantomime has become a British institution, but its origins are from beyond British shores.

The Pantomime we see today can be distinguished by its adaptation of a classic fairy-tale told using larger-than-life characters and absurd situations. It’s a place where, traditionally, men dress as women and women dress as men, where good triumphs over evil and the audience are as much a part of the action as the glass slipper, pantomime cow, the beanstalk or the magic beans. The stories are told with a gigantic emotional heart through the use of acting, song, dance and intriguing illusions and magic.

CINDERELLA HISTORY

The first version is believed to come from China, more than 1,100 years ago!

In an Egyptian version of the classic tale, from the 2nd Century AD, an eagle takes the sandal of Rhodope while she is bathing. The eagle takes the sandal to the Pharaoh, who vows to marry whomever fits the sandal. He searches all of Egypt until he finds Rhodope.

The story as we know it came from Charles Perrault who gave the name Cinderella, and introduces the pumpkin, glass slippers and the Fairy Godmother.

The Brothers Grimm did a gruesome take on the story in 1812, where the Ugly Sisters are so desperate to marry the Prince that they cut off bits of their feet to fit into the shoe!

PANTOMIME HISTORY…

●

Pantomime began first as a performance known as a “harlequinade” using stock characters drawn from the Italian “commedia dell’arte” a tradition of masked, slapstick comedy. These performances were wordless, as the theatres where they were played were unlicensed to stage spoken drama. And it is this silence that put the “mime” into “pantomime”.

Charles Perrault wrote a small book of eight fairy tales in 1697 called Stories or Tales from Times Past, with Morals, with the added title, Tales of Mother Goose.

●

● In the little book were the stories of Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb and Cinderella. They are all popular pantomimes to this day!

Most pantomime stories, including those in Perrault’s book, come from traditional folktales or fairy-tales.

●

● The first official pantomimes were written in the 1850’s, with writers Henry James Byron and James Robinson Planché developing the style we know today which incorporated puns and word play.

DISCUSSION POINTS:

• How many Pantomime stories can you think of?

• Can you think of any stories or fairy tales you know which would make good pantomimes? How would you change the story to make them work as a Pantomime?

• What other information can you find out about the origins and history of Pantomime?

Did you know: It is believed that the translation from the Perrault version was translated

incorrectly. The slipper was in fact, made of fur, not glass!

THE ‘TRADITIONAL’ CHARACTERS Traditional Pantomimes are easily recognisable nowadays for their use of stock characters, scenes and audience participation. In the story of CINDERELLA, you will be able to spot all the typical pantomime characters such as:

THE HEROINE Traditionally the heroine was innocent with very feminine qualities, and often sometimes becomes a Princess at the end of the story.

In recent years, Pantomimes have moved more with the times and the heroines have been updated to be individual, powerful female characters that can affect the story and save the day for themselves.

In the Everyman Theatre’s Sleeping Beauty in 2014, Princess Aurora rescued the Prince, slayed the dragon and saved the day, turning the traditional story on its head.

- The Heroine in CINDERELLA is Cinderella

THE PRINCIPAL BOY In traditional pantomime, the principal boy was played by a female actor, although in recent years many pantomimes cast a young male actor.

The principal boy is brave, heroic and adventurous. They will often be drawn into a quest to rescue the heroine of the story, defeating the villain along the way. - The Principal Boy in CINDERELLA is Prince Charming

THE DAME – CINDERELLA HAS 2! Traditionally, an older female character played by a man, who is usually very comic and over the top. The best Pantomime Dames are recognisable as men playing a woman, rather than a man attempting to pass as a woman. Jack Tripp, a well-known and experienced Dame, said that he should be clearly seen “as a nice man being a nice lady”.

The role of the Dame has increased over the years. Where the Dame would originally have worn a hat and shawl throughout the performance, the actor may now have up to 15 costume changes!

- The Dame(s) in CINDERELLA are the Ugly Sisters

THE COMIC Every pantomime has a silly character that tries to help the Hero or Heroine but gets everything wrong along the way.

They are traditionally the Dame’s child and need a lot of help from the audience during the show.

The Comic Character is often played by professional comedians or clowns.

- The Comic in CINDERELLA is Buttons

5

THE VILLAIN – “BOOOOOO” Every Fairy-tale and Pantomime story has a bad character that the Hero or Heroine must defeat to save the day. The Villains are often driven by greed and a desire for power, and usually either use bad magic or are in some way grotesque/mean.

- The Villain(s) in CINDERELLA are the Ugly Sisters

THE GOOD FAIRY In every Pantomime story, the Hero has a magic helper, who guides them on their journey and provides some helping magic. Most stories have a Good Fairy, who uses their powers to support the Hero and help to save the day. The Good Fairy always wears a very sparkly, glittering costume and often has a tiara or embellished jewellery.

- The Good Fairy in CINDERELLA is The Fairy Godmother

ACTIVITY 1 – BE AN ACTOR Actors must be good at remembering their lines and moves on the stage. They also must be able to change the way they act to play different roles. Actors must be good at speaking clearly so that the audience can always hear what they are saying; otherwise they won’t be able to follow the story. Practise being an actor, by acting out the scene on the next page with a partner. Where things are written in italics (like this: italics) then that means it’s an instruction for what the actors should do.

Think about how your character might talk and how they might move.

Try out lots of ideas to see what works.

See if you can take it in turns to perform the scene to your class.

- Remember; everyone will have different ideas, so you will need to work together.

Did you know: In Pantomime tradition, the Good Fairy will always enter from Stage Right

(the left as the audience look at it) and the Villain will always enter from Stage Left.

ACTIVITY 1 – BE AN ACTOR: SCRIPT

FAIRY Oh my good gawd! It's very uncomfortable in there, not to mention cold. Hiya hun, I'm your Fairy Godmother and this milk is out of date (she hands Cinderella a small pint of milk. Cinderella is in a state of shock) hello babe, anyone there?

CINDERELLA But...but....I mean...who are you and what are you doing in the fridge?!

FAIRY I'm your Fairy Godmother, Cinderella! Apologies about the fridge, I sometimes get my magic spells in the wrong order. Last week was worse, I was trying to help Snow White at her cottage in the woods and instead of flying into her room, I ended up in a room with seven dwarves! None of them were Happy. In fact they were all a little short with me.

CINDERELLA But what are you doing here?

FAIRY My darling girl, I am here to reward your years of kindness to others and make all your dreams come true. Now what do you want most in the whole world?

CINDERELLA I can't believe this is happening! Am I dreaming?

FAIRY This is not a dream, babe, everything is real. Oh Cinderella this is all so exciting, would you like me to take you to the Royal Ball?

CINDERELLA That would be wonderful but my sisters made me rip up my invitation and ruined my mum's dress.

FAIRY That’s awful....and it’s happening twice a day. Leave it to me! (The fairy gets the jar of fireflies and pulls out an invitation. Places jar back on table)

CINDERELLA Wow!

FAIRY That's your invite sorted. Now your dress will require a lot more magic and it’s too late to buy something online, so just you leave it to me!

CINDERELLA But how will I get there? All the local taxi companies will be busy!

FAIRY By magic, Cinderella. Now I need the largest pumpkin from your garden.

CINDERELLA A pumpkin?!

FAIRY I know it’s sounds ridiculous but never underestimate the power of fruit and veg. It’s also one of your five a day. (Fairy waves her wand)

PANTOMIME TRADITIONS Pantomime is a show for all the family, and there are lots of elements to appeal to all ages. A Pantomime should be fun, involving and entertaining and should encourage lots of audience interaction – including characters coming into the auditorium, shout-outs, songs, sing-alongs and much more! Some of the elements you can expect to see in the Pantomime are:

THE SLOSH SCENE During the Pantomime, there is usually a very messy scene called the ‘Slosh’ scene. This is a scene where the Dame and the Comic character, and maybe one or two others, make a lot of mess on stage – usually making a cake, or decorating. The scene can take any form, but the aim is to get as messy as possible!

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION The audience are encouraged to shout out responses to lines from the show. These

can include “He’s behind you!” ”Oh yes it is/Oh no it isn’t” and often shouting the

name of the Comic Character to get their attention. The audience is also encouraged

to boo the villain whenever they enter, exit or do something bad. It’s important to

remind younger audience members not to just shout for the whole performance –

otherwise they might miss something!

SING-ALONG SONG At the end of the show, the Dame and the Comic Character will come out and sing

a short section of one of the songs from the Pantomime. They will encourage the

audience to sing along and join in with the actions. Often this song will lead to a

competition to see which half of the audience is the loudest.

THE WALK DOWN When the Pantomime has finished, the actors will perform a walk down and take a

bow to show that the show has reached its conclusion. The characters will then say a

short conclusion before reprising a few numbers from the show. The walk down is a

more fun, vibrant version of a normal Curtain Call which happens at the end of a

play and is usually set at the wedding of the Hero and Heroine, so expect lavish,

colourful costumes and lots of smiles.

THE SPECTACLE SCENE The Everyman Theatre’s Pantomimes have at least one show-stopping scene. In recent years, Aladdin took Princess Jasmine for a high-flying ride over Old Peking on his Magic Carpet, and Dick Whittington dived into the sea to fight a Giant Squid. - In CINDERELLA there is a very special moment just before the interval. The scenes are spectacular to watch and are enjoyed by all.

ACTIVITY 2 – BE A DESIGNER The set (or scenery) is what we put onstage to help create the world of the play. The set designer would make a model box of the set to show the production department, director and actors what they want the set to look like.

1) RESEARCH 6-18 months before rehearsals start

The design process begins with the designer, in this case ‘Upstage Designs’, researching an idea for the show.

Designers often collect pictures to give them inspiration. They might create a scrap book or Pinterest board of ideas including, materials, styles, textures and shapes.

The designer will look at the size of the stage and work with the director to make sure that their design fits with the Director’s overall vision.

2) WHITE CARD 2-4 months before rehearsals start

Once the designer has an idea, they make a ‘white card’ model box. This gives a clear idea of what the final design will look like, but without being painted.

The white card design is presented to the production team who check that the design will work in the space and is possible with the money that is in the budget.

3) FINAL MODEL BOX 1-3 months before rehearsals start

The designer creates a model box. The model box is a 1:25 scale model, exactly twenty-five times smaller, of the final set. The production team use the model to see what the set is going to look like and to help them build the final set. The designer also draws a ground plan of the model box to the same scale. This gives the set builders the exact size of the set so they can start building it.

4) BUILDING THE SET 1-8 weeks before the show starts

The carpenter then starts to make the set. At The Everyman Theatre, the set is built off-site by a workshop in Leicester and then brought to the theatre and put together

during the weekend before the show begins its technical rehearsals.

5) THE FINAL SET 1 week before the show starts

The set is fitted into the theatre. During this time the designer will work with the production team to make sure that all the final details are perfected before the show opens.

Here is the CINDERELLA final model box - We can’t wait to see what it looks

like on stage!

CINDERELLA "Cinderella" or "The Little Glass Slipper", is a folk tale embodying a myth-element of unjust oppression and triumphant reward. Thousands of variants are known throughout the world. The title character is a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances, that are suddenly changed to remarkable fortune. The story of Rhodopis, recounted by the Greek geographer Strabo sometime between around 7 BC and 23 AD, about a Greek slave girl who marries the king of Egypt, is considered as a possible source due to some similarities. The first ancient story that shares the critical elements of the canonical Cinderella story is usually considered to be the Ye Xian story. The first literary European version of the story was published in Italy by Giambattista Basile in his Pentamerone in 1634; the version that is now most widely known in the English-speaking world was published in French by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697. Another version was later published by the Brothers Grimm in their folk tale collection Grimms' Fairy Tales in 1812.

THE STORY…

Once upon a time there was a kind and beautiful girl, whose name was Cinderella. She lived with her cruel stepmother and stepsisters where she was treated as a servant and spent her days cleaning, tidying and waiting on them hand and foot.

One day an invitation to a royal ball arrived. The Prince was looking for a bride and everyone in the kingdom was invited.

Her stepmother immediately ordered new gowns to be made for herself and her daughters. Cinderella worked day and night to prepare the new dresses in time.

On the day of the ball, as they were preparing to leave, Cinderella came down the stairs in a dress she had made for herself. Her stepmother and stepsisters were so angry to see her looking so beautiful they tore up the dress and left without her.

Left alone, Cinderella began to cry when suddenly, her Fairy Godmother appeared.

Her Fairy Godmother waved her magic wand and at once Cinderella’s rags turned into a beautiful new ball gown.

When everything was ready, Cinderella waved goodbye to her fairy godmother who said, “The magic will only last until midnight. You must reach home by then.”

When she entered the ballroom, the guests were struck by her beauty and her stepmother and stepsisters did not know who she was. The prince asked Cinderella to dance and she was overjoyed.

The Prince and Cinderella danced all evening until Cinderella noticed the clock approaching midnight and she remembered her godmother’s words. “I must go” she told the Prince as she fled from the ballroom.

As she ran down the steps of the palace, one of her glass slippers fell off, but Cinderella did not stop to pick it up.

She returned home just as the clock struck twelve.

Her ball gown turning into rags once more. Her stepmother and stepsisters arrived home shortly afterwards and were full of talk of the beautiful girl who had danced all night with the prince.

The prince had fallen in love with Cinderella the moment he saw her, but he did not even know her name. He picked up her glass slipper from the steps and declared “I will marry the girl whose foot fits this slipper.”

A 1920s lithograph of Cinderella illustrated by Maud Trube.

11

The prince and his servants took the glass slipper to every house in the Kingdom, but it did not fit any of the women who tried it on.

Cinderella’s stepsisters tried to squeeze their large feet into the dainty shoe but was afraid it might break.

Cinderella’s stepmother would not let her try on the slipper, but the prince said “Wait! Let her try it!”.

The slipper fit Cinderella’s foot perfectly and the Prince realised this was the beautiful girl he had danced with at the ball.

The Prince had found the girl he was looking for. They were married and both lived happily ever after.

languages, in English-language folklore Cinderella is the archetypal name. The word Cinderella has,

by analogy, come to mean one whose attributes were unrecognised, or one who unexpectedly

achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect.

A still from the 1950 Walt Disney film - Cinderella

ROLES IN A SHOW It’s not just the actors that make a show!

Before the show opens there are lots of things that need doing to make sure that the audience enjoy the performance. The script needs writing, the music needs composing, the set needs designing, and the actors need directing.

Here is a little detail on a couple of the roles involved in putting on a show…

DIRECTOR Job: The Director is the person who brings all the different artistic elements together. They will choose the actors, advise on the set, run the rehearsals and help the actors decide what to do on the stage. What they must be good at: The director needs to be good at having an overall vision for the performance and an overseeing eye for everything that is happening. They need to be very creative and a good team leader.

DESIGNER Job: The Designer is in charge of designing the set (what we put on stage to help create the world of the play) and the costumes. They produce a model of the set which they show to the director and the actors. What they must be good at: The designer needs to be very artistic and creative and have a good imagination to decide what the final set will look like. They also must be good at drawing.

MUSICAL DIRECTOR Job: The Musical Director is responsible for teaching the actors the songs during the rehearsal process. They sometimes write and compose the music themselves, or they might choose appropriate atmospheric music that’s been written by someone else. What they must be good at: The musical director needs to be very musical with a good knowledge of different songs and an ability to teach others.

WARDROBE DEPARTMENT Job: The Wardrobe Department works with the designer to source and make all the costumes for the actors. Each day they have to wash and press (iron) the costumes and do any last-minute repairs & alterations so that they look as good as new for every performance. What they must be good at: The wardrobe department must be very organised and good at sewing.

LIGHTING DESIGNER Job: The Lighting Designer works with the designer to create the atmosphere in the theatre. They will choose the colours, the brightness, and the angle of the lights which will then be programmed into a computer so that they are the same in each performance. What they must be good at: The lighting designer needs to be artistic, and good with technical equipment.

Did you know: Over 150 people have been involved in getting CINDERELLA onto the stage this

year including all these roles: Accountant, Actors, Actor’s Agents, Administrators, Box Office, Catering, Choreographer, Cleaners, Composer, Designer, Director, Front of House Team, Lighting Designer, Marketing, Musical Director, Musicians, Producer, Props makers, Set Makers, Sound Designer, Special FX Team, Special Guest Voiceover Artist, Stage Crew, Stage Management, Technicians, Ushers, Wardrobe, Writer

ACTIVITY 3 – BE A PRODUCER

Staging a pantomime is an expensive business!

The amount of money available in the budget determines what a Creative Team can and can’t afford.

Use the table below to work out the budget for your own show. You will need to choose either the Basic, Standard or Best option for each heading, and put the cost for the chosen level in the Budget Choice column. Having the different amounts will force learners to make critical decisions about what their production will prioritise to make it come within budget. It is important to note that none of these options create a ‘Bad’ show, but the more expensive options will be the most reliable, most crowd-pleasing options.

ITEM/ROLE “STANDARD” “GOOD” “BEST” BUDGET CHOICE

Marketing £5,000 £10,000 £20,000 £

Theatre Expenses £10,000 £10,000 £10,000 £10,000

TOTAL £

CALCULATOR NEEDED: Now you know how much your pantomime will cost, how many tickets do you need to sell to make it happen?

Total expenditure Average ticket price Number of tickets needed

£10.00 Total expenditure ÷ Average ticket price = Number of tickets needed

“You must make profit!” The Chief Executive has just come into your office explaining that they expect this years pantomime to make at least £200,000 in profit - to help support the theatre for the year.

HOW MUCH PROFIT DO YOU HAVE?

Ticket Income Show Cost Total

Ticket Income – Show Cost = Profit

Do you have enough money to afford your pantomime? If not, what compromises can you make? - Don’t forget; you want to make the best possible show, so the audience come back next year!

Did you know: The maximum number of seats at The Everyman Theatre is 670 per show,

this means the most tickets we could sell across our panto season (78 shows) is 52,260

On average we sell around 42,000 tickets across our Panto season (this is high!).

- If you have worked out you need to sell more than 45,000, we would recommend looking at what you can compromise on.

14

ACTIVITY 4 – LEARN THE SONG Each year the pantomime contains a song which we the audience can join in with. this year is no exception! Why not learn the song before you come along, that way you will be able to sing-along with the cast when you come and see the show!
