Patrick’s
previous appearances in Bishop Stortford's panto have been extremely
well received as the report
below shows. |

“Patrick Jacobs is a one
man dynamo – writing,
directing and starring in the Rhodes Arts
Complex show ‘Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs’.
The production, a Fabulously
frivolous feast of festive fun, proved Jacobs to be thoroughly
adept in all three disciplines.
Jacobs own
performance was pantotastic – loud,
unashamedly over-the-top, with
a great line in ad-libs. His
quick wit best demonstrated during
the audience participation when
he put the young volunteers totally
at their ease and ensured they
were the stars of the show.
