BOP is turning 25 this year – to celebrate we have been in conversation with some of the key figures who have helped to make the company what it is.

Johnny McKnight trained at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He works as a writer, director, performer and educator. His work has taken him throughout Scotland, London, Cardiff, Czech Republic, Madrid, Valencia, Singapore and New York. He has been described as the new ‘vanguard’ of pantomime in the national press, having written 14 contemporary pantomimes. He is also the author of several education publications for Scottish Opera and RSCS. Johnny wrote BOP’s hit show Wendy Hoose, co-directed by Johnny and BOP Artistic Director Robert Gale.
