Oh yes it is... Panto is back at Cork's Everyman theatre

This year’s show, 'Aladdin' will have a shorter run than usual, with restricted capacity and stringent safety measures in place amid rising Covid case numbers

The Everyman has announced the much-anticipated return of its annual panto.

The historic Everyman theatre in Cork has announced the return of live pantomime this Christmas but with a smaller cast and reduced audience numbers.

The announcement was made on Thursday against the backdrop of rising Covid-19 case numbers and amid renewed calls from public health experts for people to reduce their social contacts.
