One of the great Christmas traditions on these shores is the pantomime, a peculiar mix of music, comedy, fairy tale, and double entendre.A basic introduction to the panto concept is available from Wikipedia, and an outline of the necessary elements for writing a show is here.
There is also a guided tour of pantoland, and an excellent guide to the history of this unique form of theatre courtesy of It's Behind You. Scotland is particularly strong on panto, as demonstrated here.
And if you want to know what show is on where, the Big Panto Guide is the definitive list of professional and amateur performances.
