It will be a dramatic exit for Jeremy Corbyn, who has agreed to make a guest appearance in a pantomime.
He will have a cameo as the Wizard of Oz-lington in "Wicked Witches — A Popular Panto."
The news of his panto role follows a public disagreement with his political ally Zarah Sultana, 31, which raised questions about the future of the newly established Your Party.Credit: PA
It is expected that he will appear on stage at London’s Pleasance Theatre, located in his Islington North constituency.
This development comes after a public dispute between Corbyn and his political collaborator, which cast doubt on the future of the party (oh yes, it did!).
Additionally, the internal conflict within the party appears to be escalating, with documents revealing that it will have only one leader.
The sole leader of the political group will be announced in March following a vote by the members, as the Electoral Commission mandates that parties can have only one leader.
In the meantime, Corbyn will oversee the fictional borough of ‘Oz-lington,’ joined on stage by drag star Crayola the Queen as the wicked witch, Eleanor Burke as the Good Witch, and Rosanna Suppa as Dorothy.
Ellie Simpson, Head of Theatre at Pleasance, stated: “Jeremy is as integral to Islington as the Yellow Brick Road is to Oz – so who better to portray the Wizard of Oz-lington?
“His cameo adds a touch of local charm to our delightfully entertaining festive panto, which marks Pleasance’s first in over twenty years and kicks off our 30th anniversary celebrations.
This is how Corbyn could appear in his new panto role.
