Aladdin

One of the most popular themes for pantomime and children’s plays. In South Africa many versions have been done. E.g. the production by [[{Philip D. Levard]] for African Consolidated Theatres in the Empire Theatre and at the Alhambra Theatre in 1945 (starring Ivy Tresmand); by Maralin Vanrenen in 1984, with what they called “a Cape flavour” with Dale Cutts, Charles Comyn, Adrienne Pearce, Peter Krummeck*?, Jennifer Ferguson, Peter Butler, Mike Chase, Baxter Theatre, 1984. Marilyn Taylor’s musical band; by Joyce Levinsohn and Jill Gerard at the Intimate Theatre in 1986; by Janice Honeyman (who wrote and directed the text, again with a South African slant?*) for PACT in 1988, and again in *****. Janice Honeyman’s version A Lad ‘n’ a Lamp. Another version by Janice Honeyman was translated by Nerina Ferreira in ****. Another pantomime version by De Wet Laubscher in ****.**
