(sound, becoming 1-2 seconds out of Synch). In comes Mousey and Fred, with a voiceover providing some background to what is happening.  The soundtrack is interspersed with dialogue form the pantomime.  The pantomime then follows the general plot of the story, with the Slave of the Ring making her appearance by doing a dance to the theme music from Dr Who.  They finish Act One with a dance routine to the song ‘The Night They Invented Champagne’ (from the film Gigi), and the curtain comes down.   The second part continues the story where Act One left off, although it goes mute about a third of the way through.  At the end they all take their bows.
