A Christmas theatre performance (9)

I believe the answer is:

pantomime

(Other definitions for pantomime that I've seen before include "Cross-dressing theatrical" , "Christmas theatre, usually with Dame" , "Play performed at Christmas" , "farce" , "Seasonal theatre show" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
