GET your pie and a big glass of wine, and settle in; for the Oran Mor Christmas show, pride of Glasgow’s West End, is a panto for adults, in the very best sense. This year’s offering – written and directed by A Play, A Pie And A Pint’s inimitable joint artistic director, Morag Fullarton – is a waggish new female-led version of the Dick Whittington story, in which Dixie, a talented singer from Partick with a talking stuffed cat, is about to give up her quest for fame and fortune in London, when she meets Dame Dora Dumplin’, the highly satirical cook aboard a ship at the nearby docks.
