Following two years of five star reviewed pantomimes with 2022’s Sleeping Beauty, and 2023’s Cinderella, The Gaiety is delighted to welcome back writing team Ken Alexander and Fraser Boyle to put their original spin on a beloved family favourite, supported by inclusive theatre company Solar Bear.

Mother Goose is a good egg, the most giving of souls. Salt of the earth and kind to a fault, she would give you her last ha’penny if you needed it. But when her faultless generosity lands her neck deep in the stinking Ayrshire proverbial, it will take a touch of eggs-ellent panto magic to help save her Ayrshire bacon.

In these tough times, who could turn down a goose that lays golden eggs? But will it really help her, or will it set her down a path towards eggs-treme greed and vanity? You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs after all... Fraser Boyle will be starring in the lead role as pantomime’s most famous dame, Mother Goose.

He’ll be joined by a stellar cast of Scottish performers with a diverse range of credits, including returning favourites Gavin Jon Wright, Chiara Sparkes, Dani Heron, and Rachel Campbell, and newcomers to The Gaiety Jamie McKillop, Gregor John Owen, Ciara Flynn, and Lewis Kerr.

This will also mark The Gaiety’s first in-house production to include actors delivering performances in both BSL and spoken English throughout. Fully BSL-Interpreted performances will also be available again this year, along with captioned, audio-described, and relaxed performances.

Performing at Ayr Gaiety from November 22, 2024 until January 4, 2025 – get your tickets now!
