The Horncastle Theatre Company has a proud tradition of penning their own pantomime scripts and this year is no exception.

Written and directed by Chris Liversidge, “Zorro The Panto” is based on the classic tales created by Johnston McCulley.

Pantomime Dame, Senora Margarita Juanita Fajita will guide the audience through all the fun and frolics as only a typical Dame can.

As always there will be plenty of songs and dances, with such classics as Dance the Night Away, La Bamba and Little White Bull!

A pair of slapstick firemen add to the comedy and chaos, and there is even have a visit from a famous president.

The audience will be actively encouraged to cheer the goodies, whilst unceremoniously booing the baddies - Captain Ramon, Sgt Gonzales and the hapless comedy duo Taco and Nacho.
