Louisburgh, Co Mayo, Ireland 

"Aladdin"
 

The Louisburgh Pantomime now in it's third year took place on December 12th to December

14th in the Parocial hall.

Written and directed by local man Noel Billington, the show attained new heights with an emphasis on

using local talent.  The number of youngsters in the production was amazing and their performance

was full of enthusiasm.

Without diminishing anyone's performances, I must single out Jim Power as Abanaza and Des

Grealis as Widow Twanky for great interpretations of their roles and the way they delivered them.

Both could have easily passed as West End Panto stars.

Another clever touch was The Skeleton played by Lara Kerrigan who appeared as a dancing

luminous skeleton would you believe.  Very well played Laura!

Highlight of the show for me was the Chariot's of Fire race to recover the dropped Magic Lamp.

Jim Power's facial expressions were pure magic.
