IT will be exit stage lefty for Jeremy Corbyn who has agreed to appear in panto.
The ex-Labour leader, 76, will have a cameo as the Wizard of Oz-lington in Wicked Witches — A Popular Panto.
It is believed he will be seen on screen at London’s Pleasance Theatre in his Islington North constituency.
It comes after a public spat between Corbyn and his political collaborator Zarah Sultana, 31, called the future of newly formed Your Party into question (oh yes it did!).
And, the internal battle over the party looks set to get messier, with documents released showing it will have just one leader.
The single head of the political group will be revealed in March after a vote by members – with the Electoral Commission requiring parties to have just one leader.
In the meantime, Corbyn will be presiding over 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 London, said: “Jeremy’s as much a part of Islington as the Yellow Brick Road is of Oz – so who better to play the Wizard of Oz-lington?
“His cameo adds a touch of local sparkle to our wickedly funny festive panto, which marks Pleasance’s first in over twenty years and raises the curtain on our 30th anniversary celebrations.
