“He’s behind you.”
Thankfully for this year’s Hounslow panto stars – Gerard Carey and Catherine Gibson – it was not a giant lurking behind them but council leader Peter Thompson.
Councillor Thompson joined the actors to help promote Paul Robeson Theatre’s production of Jack and the Beanstalk, which opens on December 2.
Gibson, who plays Jill, said: “The show really does take over the whole theatre and there’s something in it for everyone.
“My favourite part is when we finally get to meet the giant in person.”
Gerard Carey, who plays the Giant’s henchman, Grovel, added: “We’ve got some great costumes, lots of music and dancing and a battle at the end of the show, which has to be seen to be believed.”
