The festive season is upon us, and in the theatre world that means one thing – time for the humble pantomime to take centre stage.

While it may not be the most highbrow form of entertainment, it is for many the gateway into theatre – and what’s more, it is a big business.

Pre-pandemic, three million panto tickets were sold each year in the UK, and Glasgow has a special affection for it.
