BBC Radio Wales - Sarah Breese: Nothing Like a Dame

Comedian Sarah Breese explores the art of pantomime at some of Wales’ top productions.

Comedian and wannabe-panto-star Sarah Breese visits Wales’ finest productions and best loved performers to see what it takes to tread the slippery boards of the pantomime stage.

Comedian and actress Sarah Breese has always wanted to be a pantomime star, but her only experience to date was as a child, when she reached the giddy heights of the front end of a panto cow. As the festive season gets underway, Sarah takes a whirlwind tour of some of Wales’ finest productions to see if she has what it takes to tread the slippery boards of the pantomime stage. From her favourite family panto in Mid Wales, to a rock ‘n’ roll extravaganza in the north, she’ll hear some surprising stories from behind the scenes, as well as being put through her paces by the country’s most beloved panto stars. Sarah sets off to find out if she has the requisite four “Ss” (strength, stamina, singing and silliness) to be a good fairy, or will she make a Dick Whittington of herself?
