Scotland's Other National Theatre - Pantomime in Scotland This small exhibition features some displays from the Pantomime of Scotland touring exhibition which was curated by researchers from the University of Glasgow with major funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The project ran 2007 to 2010 and was led by Professor Adrienne Scullion and Dr Paul Maloney.

Tour of Pantomime in Scotland Exhibition In this tour of the exhibition Paul Maloney will take visitors on a journey through the history of pantomime in Scotland, from its origins in the harlequinade and the influence of older Scottish popular theatre, to the dynamic impact of Scottish music hall. Exploring the claim that ‘the national theatre of Scotland is pantomime’, the tour will examine panto’s place in Scottish cultural life, from great stars of the twenties and thirties, and the famous pantomimes at the Princess’s and Alhambra Theatres, through recent performers like Stanley Baxter, Rikki Fulton and Jack Milroy, to the pantomime traditions of today. Dr Paul Maloney was Research Fellow on Pantomime in Scotland: ‘Your other national theatre’, a three-year AHRC-funded research project based at Glasgow University from 2007-2010. A cultural historian, he has written extensively on popular theatre and nineteenth- and twentieth-century entertainments, music hall, variety and pantomime. He is the author of Scotland and the Music Hall, 1850-1914 (2003) and The Britannia Panopticon Music Hall and Cosmopolitan EntertaInment Culture (2016). --- This event is part of our Winter Warmer festive programme.
