Crawley kicks off its 2022 panto countdown
This year’s show is The All New Adventures Of Peter Pan (Friday, December 9-Monday, January 2) – and Richard Franks is looking forward to something like (he’s slightly lost count) his seventh successive Crawley panto.
“Yes, I am back despite popular demand!” he laughs. “But I just love it here. I actually live in Kent which is an hour and a half away but it's definitely worth the drive. Crawley has got a very special place in my heart and it's just a lovely place to be. The Hawth always put forward an amazing panto and the staff here are always just very friendly and lovely. It is a great way of spending Christmas.”
