Play to the Crowd
Dick Whittington
A Traditional Family Pantomime
Written & Directed James Barry
Music by Simon Slater
From the same creative team behind last year's Beauty and the Beast.
Join Dick and his cat on their madcap adventures, as Dick seeks his fame and fortune in a London bedevilled by the sinister King Rat and his rabble of Revolting Rodents.
Filled with hilarious gags, original songs and loads of audience participation it's the 'purrfect' Christmas treat!
"sparkles from start to finish... an absolute cracker."
"the very best example of a modern, festive, family pantomime"
