It’s been six years since Arabella played Maid Marian in Robin Hood at the Greenwich Theatre. And she’s absolutely thrilled to be returning to the theatre and company at Greenwich. This will be Arabella’s 6th panto! Keep reading for the lowdown on Arabella’s previous Pantomimes.

Beauty and the Beast

Arabella’s debut role in a pantomime was Beauty in Beauty and the Beast at the Hereford Courtyard in 2009. It was on this contract that Arabella realised she has a true passion for traditional pantomime.

Robin Hood

In 2012 Arabella played Maid Marian in Robin Hood. This is when she met Andy Pollard for the first time. This was Andy’s first year directing the panto at Greenwich Theatre. And all involved had a lot of fun! Arabella has been performing Andy’s scripts ever since!

Aladdin

In 2014 Arabella packed up her bags and moved up to Scarborough for the Christmas season. She played the role of Princess Badroulbadour at the Stephen Joseph Theatre. This was a completely different experience as the theatre is in the round! The tradition of playing “out front” takes some getting used to when the audience are all around you.

Dick Whittington

In 2015 Arabella joined the cast of Dick Whittington at the Watford Palace. Still an Andy Pollard script but directed by Brigid Larmour. This was the first time Arabella got to move away from being the princess. She had a lot of fun creating the Barbara Windsor style cockney Fairy Bowbells. She also made an appearance as Gorgonzola, the High Priestess of Cheese.

Beauty and the Beast

The great thing about panto is it is never the same twice! With that in mind, Arabella joined the cast of Beauty and the Beast in 2016. She played Amorette, a new version of Beauty at the Watford Palace, directed by Eleanor Rhode.

Robinson Crusoe

And now, in 2018, Arabella will be returning to Greenwich Theatre. She will be playing Man Friday as well as Mary Beard, pirate Mum!
