EPT’s windy bottom
Has beans not has-beens in Panto land:

The Balerno Theatre Company whisks us away to Agrabah with their magical production of Aladdin at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday.

Rock of Ages
★★★☆☆ Codpiece rock-out:
Big and silly, much like the hair, Allegro’s production of retro Eighties soft-rock musical Rock of Ages at the Church Hill knows how to hit the highs with ease.
