"The Pleasance (Theatre) has been at the heart of our community for 30 years, and local theatre like this deserves our support,"
"Panto brings people together - it's fun, inclusive and a brilliant celebration of creativity."
"It's a pleasure to conjure up a little festive magic with the Pleasance in their 30th year. Local theatre is where the real wizardry happens - sparking imagination and spreading a bit of joy."
"Jeremy's as much a part of Islington as the Yellow Brick Road is of Oz - so who better to play the Wizard of Oz-lington?"
Jeremy Corbyn, 76, co-founder and leader of Your Party, will star as the Wizard of Oz-lington in Wicked Witches: A Popular Panto at the Pleasance Theatre in Islington. The production features queer performers including Gigi Zahir (Crayola) as Adelphaba and Eleanor Burker (Apple Derrieres) as Kelly Oz-Born, with Lew Ray and Ro Suppa as Tin 2.0 and Dor. Corbyn praised the Pleasance for 30 years of community work and called panto fun, inclusive and a celebration of creativity. Pleasance head Ellie Simpson said his involvement adds a touch of local sparkle, and organisers noted boos and cheers are part of panto fun.
