Hackney Empire announces 2022 panto MOTHER GOOSE

Hackney Empire have announced that their Christmas 2022 pantomime will be Mother Goose, which runs from 19 November-31 December.

In what will be his 15th pantomime at Hackney Empire, Olivier award-winning panto royalty Clive Rowe will direct and star as the Dame, Mother Goose, with full cast and  creative team to be announced.

The pantomime Mother Goose was first created for  another Hackney Empire legend, Music Hall comedian Dan Leno, who first performed the show in 1902. 120 years on, Hackney are proud to present the mother of all pantomimes in their 120th birthday year.

What would you do if you found a magical goose who lays golden eggs?! That’s exactly what’s in store for Mother Goose, and she soon discovered that this priceless talent isn’t  all it’s cracked up to be! Packed full of all your favourite pantomime ingredients, this  reimagining of the classic rags-to-riches tale is the perfect festive treat. Expect larger than  life characters, gloriously outrageous costumes, incredible live music, uncontrollable  laughter and loads of audience participation… oh yes, there definitely is.!

Clive Rowe said: “I’m incredibly proud, in Hackney Empire’s 120th birthday year, to be  directing and playing Mother Goose, which was first created for music hall legend Dan  Leno 120 years ago. Big shoes to fill but I will do my very best to make the walls shake  with the love and laughter we’ve come to expect from Hackney's pantomime.”

The 2022 festive season will burst into life with the 23rd Hackney Empire pantomime, providing joy for all the family, and in some cases, a vital introduction to the magic of theatre.

Tickets go on sale to the public from midday on 22 March here. Priority booking for Friends and Supporters is open now.
