Pantomime, the traditional Christmas
entertainment for children in Britain, has never,
1
I
know, become popular abroad,
2
the comic techniques employed in it
3
a
clown of Italian
origin,
Joseph
Grimaldi,
4
the
early
nineteenth
century
made
him
the
best-loved
man
in
the
British
theatre.
Unfortunately,
pantomime
is
almost
5
anyone
who
has
never
seen
it
as
the
game of cricket. I once
spent half an hour talking about cricket to a
foreigner. At last, he could not
help
6
me. I had just said that the ball
sometimes traveled
7
hour and
8
this time he
was
sure I was making fun of him. He
thought I had been talking about croquet.
Pantomime, then, is the theatrical
representation of a fairy story, like Cinderella,
but
9
in
a number of stage
conventions that have developed over the years.
These conventions,
10
they
seem quite
normal to children who are used to them, are
11
more complicated than you might
except.
12
, the hero ( such as the
Prince in Cinderella ) is played by a girl.
13
,
in case you
14
wondering how
15
! But
cinderella
’
s sisters are
played by men, and so on..
What is most
surprising is that pantomime not only survives in
1980s but that it is
16
.
The
main
reason
for
this
is
that
17

They
