Synopsis
Captain’s Log. Stardate 2110. A century ago the SS Pantoprise left its home planet. Led by former-bingo-caller-turned-astrophysicist, Commander Flo White, and her daughter Snow, a hardy troupe of panto characters have been sent on a mission to save the Pantosphere from total destruction. But the evil and once-beautiful Hingeroan (boo! hiss!) plans to beam aboard to seek revenge on the lovely Snow for being the ‘fairest in the galaxy’. Will her evil plan succeed? And who are those seven little men stowed away in the ship’s hold...? Beware of Glasgow panto invaders! From the trusted creators of Ya Beauty and the Beast and Mother Bruce comes an interstellar escapade that boldly goes where no Dame has gone before. Join the loopy Prince Space Cadette and the robot PC Three-O, in a show for all the family that’s got a galaxy of gags, a solar system of songs and is light years ahead of the competition.
