THE Wallasey-based St Alban's Players 66th pantomime, an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Tinderbox, opens at the Floral Pavilion Theatre in New Brighton tonight.

Written and produced by Jerry Brace, the show runs until Saturday, January 23.

Looking ahead to their stage production of Denmark-born Andersen's work author's work, St Alban's players' spokesman Phil Gilroy told the Globe: "This is the world exclusive first production of an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale and promises to be a show that all the family will enjoy.

"We are keen to carry on providing value for money family entertainment and this year's tickets are competitively priced to ensure as many families as possible can join in the unique cultural event of Pantomime."

Performances start at 7.15pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.15pm.

Tickets are from the Floral Pavilion and Pacific Road Art Centre box offices, online at www.floralpavilion.com and by phoning 0151 666 0000.

The society's first pantomime, Aladdin, was staged in 1935. Apart from a 10-year break during and after the Second World War they have produced a pantomime each year since.

Last year they produced the first amateur performance on the new Floral Pavilion stage, Rumpelstiltskin.
