If you must insist on a summer panto, then Greece is as good a destination as any. It also works for alliteration. And that is all the justification writer and director Andy McGregor needs for this deliriously daft lunchtime show for A Play, a Pie and a Pint in which a holiday escape leads to a run-in with royalty and a close shave with a bear.
The connection to the land of the classical greats goes no further than a couple of Doric columns on the cheap-and-cheerful cartoon set by Gemma Patchett and Jonny Scott. The Mediterranean setting also gives an excuse for Fraser Boyle’s lusty Dame to strip down to her micro bikini, the better to attract fellow holidaymakers (failing that, a man in the front row).
