Yahoo News Father Brown and Doctors director to bring panto back to Bedworth - and you can be in it
A TV director behind Father Brown and Doctors is bringing a panto back to Bedworth this Christmas - and you can be in it. Paul Gibson, who is a regular director for Father Brown, Doctors and Sister Boniface, is part of PR Productions which is bringing its successful brand of pantomimes to the Civic Hall.
PR Productions was behind an incredible 16-year long sell-out run of pantomimes at the Abbey Theatre in Nuneaton. Now, after eight years, the company is making a comeback and will be hosting what will be the venue's first Christmas Pantomime since 2019.
The Civic Hall is set to re-open its doors in July, having been closed for four years, and PR Productions' inimitable version of 'Jack and the Beanstalk' will take the coveted festive pantomime slot.
