Glaswegian Dean Park has played panto dames for twenty-seven years. He is currently appearing in Cinderella at the Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow. He also presents shows on Radio Clyde. Arts Hub caught up with Dean on a day off – a rare luxury in the pantomime season.
Where did it all start – are you from a theatrical background?
No – not at all. My Granny would say “Where did you come from?” and “He’s not one of us” – as I was singing to the bus driver, that sort of thing. I got involved in a band at school, and then won a scholarship to study opera at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.
