Third Age: Linda Martin loves being a pantomime star

Now starring in her fourth production, she can’t wait to put on the grease-paint, put on her “evil” costume and take to the stage next Wednesday for opening night.
“I adore it,’’ says Linda. “I don’t know where the year goes between each production, it just flies by. But I love to see the children’s faces, their excitement. This year I am the evil mother, which is great because you get such good audience reaction, they will hiss and they will boo. It builds up such a good atmosphere in the theatre, which I really enjoy.’’
