Greek and Albanian Record Catalogues
King presents several catalogues and images curated from his larger collection of southern Balkan print items relating to folk music found in his 78 collection from this general region. Most of these were printed in the 1930s till the early 1950s and feature graphics and stylization not dissimilar to their American race and hillbilly counterparts. The somewhat nostalgic images of shepherds playing flute and Greek men courting women wearing fustanella and tsarouchi were meant to appeal to the relatively recent sense of Greek Nationalism after several hundred years of Ottoman governance. It's important to note that most end-consumers would never have seen these catalogues. Instead, they would have been used by furniture stores selling phonographs and discs to immigrant purchasers as well as \"oriental speciality\" shops that catered to Greeks, Turks, and other immigrant communities in urban areas.

Cinderella
The plot is streamlined in favour of a relentless flow of songs, like an extended karaoke session of 2010s pop. There are brilliant wigs, too: the colour of anti-freeze for Georgina White's Fairy Godmother, While cotton wool-like cones twirl out the sides of the King's head, and the stepsisters wear bulbous shower caps resembling angry cysts. Excluding the evil stepmother helps Daniel Lloyd's production feel fresh while allowing more room for the King's overbearing strictness about Charming marrying a princess, which no longer feels an odd side-note. Phylip Harries' brilliant dame leads an infectiously fun cast in a thoroughly feelgood panto · % % Ж PANTOMIME November 22December 17, PN November 27 Running time: 2hrs 30mins Author Christian Patterson Director Daniel Lloyd Assistant director Dena Davies Musical director Tayo Akinbode Choreographer Jess Williams Set/costume designer Adrian Gee Lighting designer Johanna Town Sound designer Mike Beer Costume supervisor Louise Smith Casting director Jenkins McShane Cast Phylip Harries, Alice McKenna, Celia Cruwys-Finnigan, Chioma Uma, Robert Wade, Georgina White, Steve Simmonds, Joe Butcher, Elliot Parchment-Morrison, Rhianna Goodwin Production manager Hannah Lobb Company stage manager Alec Reece Deputy stage manager Edward Salt Assistant stage manager Emma Hardwick Producer Theatr Clwyd

Tiny Tim appears at the start with an ominous cough, but isnt used throughout as a symbolic reminder of the implications of Scrooges meanness. Claudia Kariukis Christmas Present carries a (literal) candy cane, with ruffles on her green dress like the layers of a Christmas tree, surrounded by a brigade of dancing baubles.
