The Bermuda Musical and Dramatic Society (BMDS) is set to revive the island’s seasonal pantomime tradition at the historic Daylesford Theatre. From December 3 to 12, audiences will experience Jon Monie’s latest production, "Absolute Pantomonium," a comedic romp that blends classic pantomime tropes with a distinctly Bermudian flair.
The Daylesford Theatre, a beloved venue in Hamilton’s cultural scene, will host the show for ten nights, offering families and theatre lovers a chance to enjoy a holiday‑season spectacle that has been absent from the island’s calendar for several years. BMDS representatives highlighted the importance of re‑introducing pantomime to the community, noting that the format provides a unique blend of music, humor and audience participation.
"We’re excited to bring a fresh, locally‑rooted pantomime to the community," said a BMDS spokesperson. "Absolute Pantomonium will bring laughter, tradition and a touch of Bermudian wit to the stage, inviting audiences of all ages to join in the festive fun."
Tickets are on sale at the theatre box office and online, with a range of price points to accommodate different budgets. The production is expected to draw crowds from across the island, bolstering local tourism and supporting the vibrant arts scene in Hamilton.
For those looking for a family‑friendly evening out this holiday season, "Absolute Pantomonium" promises to deliver a memorable theatrical experience that celebrates both the joy of pantomime and the spirit of Bermuda.
