Jane is a highly experienced Pantomime performer. She has written a number of comedy sketches and some very messy slapstick routines that have been a favourite part of many of the shows she's been involved in! Over the last eleven years, here are just a few of her Pantomime appearances...

Jane is particularly proud to have been a part of the Gala Theatre Durham's Pantomime team for the last three seasons having appeared alongside Paul Hartley as the resident double act in Aladdin, Dick Whittington and Cinderella.

"...great physicality and excellent comedy timing."

BRITISH STAGE REVIEWS

 
ALADDIN

"...the stars of the show are Jane Deane and Paul Hartley as incompetant coppers Ping and Pong...they are both extremely talented physical actors and their on-stage rapport is fantastic." SUNDERLAND ECHO

"Ping and Pong are a great double act and their acrobatics, unicycling and speedy commentary make this show a real treasure." DURHAM EVENING CHRONICLE

DICK WHITTINGTON

"Paul Hartley as Odd and Jane Deane as Bodd, are a comical triumph..." THE STAGE

"There's a genuine warmth about their performance and a chemistry that suggests they really enjoy working together and their comic timing is absolutely impeccable. If they make it three in a row next year, I'll be more than happy." KEVIN CLARKE SUNDERLAND ECHO

She is also honoured to be associated with Ian Liston at the Hiss & Boo Company where she has taken part in many happy and successful pantomimes over the years. Ian has been hugely supportive of Jane's career not only providing her with some of her most fantastic pantomime roles to date but also with practical help and advice on producing her own children's shows - thank you Ian!!

A truly magical performance as high-flying, swash-buckling Peter Pan!

"the unfailingly energetic Jane Deane..." LOCAL PRESS

"Jane Deane is a cheeky Wishee Washee, her impish spoiling of Abanazer's magic routine is exquisite comedy." THE STAGE

...and as Sergeant Cillit Bang in 2007/8

"Comedy, clowning and slapstick from Mark Reeves and Jane Deane...together they supply the energy, drive and dynamic..." THE STAGE
