Go on your own magical journey through the history of Scottish pantomime this winter! This special exhibition from the University of Glasgow celebrates everything we know and love about pantomime in Scotland: silly jokes, sing-a-longs, dancing, costumes and especially the dames!
Pantomime in Scotland: ‘Your other national theatre’ is an AHRC-funded research project based at the Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies, University of Glasgow.
