Bookings on www.ticketsource.eu/ramelton-pantomime-society This is the 61st Ramelton Pantomime and it runs from Monday March 23rd to Saturday 28th nightly at eight o’clock. This year’s production is the evergreen ‘Jack & the Beanstalk” and it’s always been a real favourite. Once upon a time long, long ago even before the Council heard of car parks, there was a poor widow in the countryside on the Loughside who had an only son named Jack. And they had a cow called ‘Milky White’. And all they had to live on was the cow’s milk they brought to the market to qualify for the farm subsidy. But one morning ‘Milky-White’ gave no milk, and they didn’t know what to do. “What shall we do, what shall we do?” said the widow, wringing her hands. “Cheer up, mother, I’ll go and get work somewhere,” said Jack. “We’ve tried that before, and nobody would take you,” said his mother. “We must sell Milky-White and with the money start a shop, or something.” “All right, mother,” says Jack. “It’s market day in Gamble’s Square, and I’ll soon sell ‘Milky-White,’ and then we’ll see what we can do for a lift home on a horse and cart…”
