An English Comedy Club production.
Directed by Hannah Riley

Performed on the 20th to 22nd January 2023 at the Centre Culturel d’Auderghem.

Pantomime has long been a great British tradition and it’s now also firmly established on Brussels’ amateur dramatic scene.

After entertaining more than one generation of local audiences, the ECC theatre group is getting ready to stage Sinbad the Sailor at Auderghem Cultural Centre from 20 to 22 January.

As one of the tales told by Scheherazade in the 1001 Nights, director Hannah Riley welcomes the opportunity to give the pantomime version the audience it deserves. Sinbad is the first panto performing to full-capacity audiences since the lifting of pandemic-related restrictions. “I’ve been lucky enough to be involved with every panto since its revival by ECC in 2014, on stage and off, and each show has become more ambitious than the one before.”

She’s quick to point out that the show appeals to a wide audience: “Because it’s a panto, full of silly jokes, songs and dancing, lots of colours and fun, there’s growing interest from local and other European audiences.”
