Frank Mackey's diary of a panto dame

As Frank Mackey marks two decades on the panto stage, he shares his behind the scenes diary, revealing what it’s like to write and bring a production of this magnitude to life at Cork Opera House.

Cork Opera House panto is a Cork tradition. Families have been flocking to panto at the Emmet Place venue for generations. Over the last decade panto has become a production that can stand up with West End shows.
