Jessica Dennis delights as Judi Henchman!
Jessica pulls out all stops in her turn as Judi Henchman is this years Panto production of Jack & The Beanstalk at the Watford Palace Theatre.
“Jessica Dennis’ Judi Henchman was another highlight that provided a smooth delivery of a villain who, despite having all the power in the world by being married to Giant Trumpet, may as well have lived up to her surname – being a henchman! This was a strong choice on Dennis’ part, as one thing about villains is that they do not always show a lot of depth for their path in pantomime, but here she delivered a bitter, twisted woman who wanted more of a connection to her husband and showed little to no remorse as she oozed evil from every pore and was a delight to watch” ★★★★ London Theatre 1
