Jack and the Beanstalk

Princes Theatre - Clacton-on-Sea - Dec 2014/Jan 2015

Polka Dot Pantomimes

"...Richard Aucott was brilliant as Dame Trott, keeping the audience in stitches throughout"

East Anglian Daily Times

"...up to the mark is Richard Aucott's Dame Trott.

Aucott has a marvellous succession of costume changes; I can't recall ever seeing such a colour-coordinated Dame. Aucott, who has a very good voice, is most successful.."

What's On Stage

"...Richard Aucott plays the dame with gusto.."

With headdresses that I guessed to be about four feet high! The entire cast and crew are to be congratulated for a great show, but the highlight for me was most definitely Dame Trott!.."

A real favourite was the finale one with it’s pagoda hat trimmed with more ostrich plumes than you’ll see at Dudley Zoo! With some great songs, sweets to throw to the children, no shortage of one-liners to make the adults chuckle Sutton should be proud of its resident panto stalwart..."

Eric Morcambe Theatre - Harpenden - Dec 2013

Act One Pantomimes

"...And to fill the stage with fun, you couldn’t beat Daisy the cow and her Junoesque owner Dame Trot. Richard Aucott is a terrific and very fetching Dame, with sensationally glamorous costumes – a new one to look forward to for every entrance!..."
