At The Pantomime Dames’ Dash
October 28, 2013
The streets of Hackney were invaded by pantomime characters yesterday as harbingers of the festive season that commences with the opening of Puss in Boots at the Hackney Empire next month. Contributing Photographer Colin O’Brien went along to join in the fun at St Joseph’s Hospice where they gathered to undertake a Dames Dash in aid of East End charities and, as the pantomime horse set out up Mare St, the obvious pun was savoured by all.

Fab mares all round!
Love theses girls!
Where is Puss in the pictures? My mother (stage name Sandra Wells) wore a cat suit in pantos for many years, playing Puss in Puss in Boots and the cat in Dick Whittington. Surely Puss in Boots must have a cat!
