Adam Filipe is by no means a Filope, in this scaled-back touring production of Joseph, where the child cast are promoted to key character roles such as Potiphar and The Baker. ★★★★☆

Full of smut and spectacle. Possibly the first pantomime in history where Maid Marian has unwittingly been used as a ‘beard’ for an overtly homosexual Robin Hood.
