Dick Whittington Cast Q&A: Margaret Cabourn-Smith
For our next cast Q&A, we chatted to our favourite panto Pigeon, Margaret Cabourn-Smith.
- What is the most exciting thing about playing Mayor Pigeon in this year’s panto?
I don’t think I’ll ever get asked to play three pigeons again! Therefore they’re the roles of a lifetime.
- What’s your top tip for someone who wants to become a performer?
Be obsessed with it. Otherwise it won’t happen…
- If you could sum up the Lyric pantomime in 3 words, what would they be?
Fun, colourful and joy-filled
- If you could swap roles with one of the other characters in Dick Whittington, who would it be and why?
I’d be the Dame, for the outfits alone. He’s better at doing make-up than me!
- What was the first Christmas show that you remember watching at the theatre?
Panto at the Richmond Theatre, and without it I probably wouldn’t be doing this!
