Overview
- Pleasance Theatre says Corbyn will appear onscreen as the 'Wizard of Oz-lington' in Wicked Witches: A Popular Panto.
- His contribution is pre-recorded rather than a live stage performance, according to the theatre and production statements.
- The show runs in two formats with all-ages performances from November 21 to December 31 and an adults-only version from November 18 to December 28.
- The queer and drag-led cast includes Gigi Zahir (Adelphaba), Eleanor Burke (Kelly Oz-Born), Ro Suppa (Dor), Lew Ray (Tin 2.0) and others, with writing and direction by Shane ShayShay Konno.
- Organisers bill this as Pleasance London's first panto in over 20 years, as Corbyn continues work on the fledgling Your Party following reported internal disputes and recent defections by three Green councillors in Scotland.
