Ziggi Szafranski (Jimbo)

It has taken Ziggi eleven years to play the ‘Buttons’ character for Woldingham Panto (in his first role he was directed by Queen Formica in Ali Baba aged 6) but he says it was worth it. Since treading the boards with the Panto, Ziggi has gone onto work on TV and radio, performed for the Queen and at the Dome, as well as in the West-End. Juggling his hobby with his AS Levels, this year’s been busy with him performing in Les Miserables, Jesus Christ Superstar, Gypsy Blood, and Crazy for You. He hopes that you have a great time joining in with him for all the fun.

James Peacock (Queen Formica)

After an absence of a couple of years James has returned from his travels, eager once more to don a frock.  James has been involved with Woldingham Pantomime since he was a little lad! His Mother trod the boards in 1971 (with James’s help!) and he’s painted scenery with his Father or helped backstage for many years. Various chorus or minor roles followed but (aside from directing) we feel he’s found his forté as a truly glamorous Dame.

Matthew Martin (Carabosse)

After performing as a Magical Cat and as a fully grown man in yellow dungarees, Matthew is finally playing the bad guy… or is it bad girl? Always ready for a challenge, he is looking forward to getting the audience to boo and hiss at him… and not just because he’s playing a woman! Matthew is currently studying Drama at A2 Level and says that this will certainly be a contrast to what he is used to playing!
