Photo of the Day

Yep, that's the Fonz. Henry Winkler playing Captain Hook in a Liverpool "Panto." From an NYT story today that would be interesting if they bothered to educate US readers on what the hell British Pantomime tradition is.

Can any of you do a better job explaining it to us? Or at least provide a good link, other than Wikipedia? Much obliged.

The British Players in Kensington, Maryland, perform a pantomime every other Christmas season. Their page about Pantomime is at: http://www.britishplayers.org/AboutPantomime.html
