Nik Butler: Planning pantomime showing for one night only

Just when you thought there could be no new genres to the Pantomime universe along comes ‘Local Democracy and Planning’; a humorous mix of ‘I’m Sorry I haven’t a Clue’ melded with ‘Aladdin’.

There are no tickets for sale; however seats in the public gallery will be available on a first come, first served basis. Unusually audience participation has been discouraged. As much as we all enjoy a good ‘He’s behind you’ when the naughty consultation document lurks behind our intrepid green fields; silence will be expected.

Those wishing to participate in the pantomime can send in their interactions in the form of a question which will then be selected on the basis of representation of a majority opinion; or possibly just pulled from the lucky dip.
