Just wondering if anyone knows of any good resources for explaining a pantomime to a child who hates noise and isn’t usually very comfortable in a theatre unless the subject is something she loves. She’s moved up to junior school and they take them to the local pantomime. School are hounding me to fill in the permission slip although they’ve been told she said she didn’t want to go. Child has had a recent increase in confidence and now isn’t sure if she wants to go or not rather than a flat no. She’s unlikely to enjoy all the screaming at ghosts and it’s behind you type stuff, she doesn’t always like ear defenders because they don’t block enough but she also doesn’t like putting ear plugs inside her ears. Does anyone know of a good video online which explains what will happen, maybe a filmed version of when the actors come out before a relaxed theatre performance of a play and show some of the props and demonstrate some of the sound effects?
