There couldn't be a more appropriate panto than this one for the welcome re-opening of Ayr Gaiety.

Since the venue went dark in 2009, the town has been a bit of a Cinderella in the Pantosphere, but no more. A local trust, the Ayr Gaiety Partnership, has (like a fairy godmother) brought the building back into use and teamed up with Michael Courtney to stage a very merry, hearteningly traditional pantomime. By rights, that should make Courtney Prince Charming. In fact, he's Buttons and within minutes of his first appearance on-stage, the entire audience (of all ages) has thoroughly warmed to his breezy, affable style – or maybe the uproar and hilarity is a reaction to his mischievous use of ever-larger water pistols.
