Lamps In The Circuit

An all-year panto on Electricity and Circuits

 

After receiving a near fatal electric shock, teenager Tim rouses the evil force of Induca Shock from the sizzling depths of his wiring.  In a bargain for his life, Tim is taken to her city where it becomes clear something has gone horribly wrong; the Circuitland citizens are refusing to work and the Kings treasured lamp will not shine!

What is stopping this busy city?  Will it recover its buzz? Will Induca keep her share of the bargain and more importantly - will guiding light, Dame Dora Cell, find a husband?!

All these questions and more will be answered in Lamps in the Circuit.

In a battle against evil, all your panto favourites come together to show just how simple circuits can be.
