Dick Whittington and his Cat
by Peter Denya
Dick Whittington is always a favourite pantomime as it is such a good storyline and is so-o English!, with its basis on a real historical figure.
Come and join us and meet a splendidly nobel Dick Whittington (Ellie Roberts) who, with his delightful marmalade friend Tommy the Cat (Sophie Howell) and with the aid of young Alice Fitzwarren (Hannah Redfern) and Fairy Bow Bells (Jan Sparkes), manages to triumph over the evil King Rat (Winston Fane-Bailey) and his wicked cohorts Gnawbone (Mark Webb) and Gnashfang (Chris Wood).
Throughout their adventures they are accompanied by that truly wondrous rival to Delia Smith's crown Sarah, the cook (Colin Robinson), emplopyee of the long-suffering Alderman Fitzwarren (Eddie Redfern), and her daffy son Jack (James Selby), and that old sea-dog Cap'n Cuttle (Jim Pluck). During their travels they encounter Queen Neptunia (Sam Richardson) and the Sultan of Morocco (Jim Pluck) and 'others'!!
Lots of action and excitement but do remember - look behind you!
