Òran Mór Winter Panto returns with Mary Doll Poppins!

Òran Mór is thrilled to announce the return of its iconic lunchtime adult pantomime, running this Christmas from Tuesday 25th November to Sunday 4th January. Find all the details and cast news below. Tickets are on sale now!

From the creative minds behind the world-famous A Play, A Pie and A Pint, this year’s production is MARY DOLL POPPINS — a riotous, wildly entertaining Glaswegian twist on the beloved fairytale, written and directed by Martin McCormick.

In this hilarious reimagining, the not-so-perfect Clydebanks family has lost their festive spirit. Enter Mary Doll — a magical (sort of) nanny with a knack for sorting out life’s messes and reminding everyone what Christmas is really about.

The cast features returning favourites Neil John Gibson (Don’t Make Tea) and Carmen Pieraccini (River City) reprising their Dame and Baddie roles. They’re joined by Karen Fishwick (Keli, Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour, Romeo & Juliet) and Louise Haggerty Feis, (Twelfth Night) and Katya Searle (The Testament of Gideon Mack, Bold Girls.)

Writer / Director Martin McCormick says:

Being asked to return to write and direct the Winter Panto for the Oran Mor is a total honour. Personally, there is no finer feeling than sitting in amongst an audience who are laughing and joining in with a joke or lyric that you’ve written.

It’s with all this in mind that myself and the entire team work so hard to make sure that each year’s Panto is better than the last. We hope everyone who comes to see Mary Doll Poppins has a brilliant time. If you are returning, thanks for coming back, and if it’s your first time I hope you get the Panto bug!

Dave Robertson (General Manager of Oran Mor) says:

'The Òran Mór Panto is one of the events of our year and this year is looking to be best yet! Delighted to be welcoming Martin back alongside Neil, Carmen and Karen - as well as saying hello to some new faces.

Christmastime is when Òran Mór comes alive and we can't wait to greet the 1000's of theatregoers to our wonderful venue. Working with the PPP team is always fun, but I especially look forward to the Pantos which feel like a real collaboration between us all.'
