Pantomimes
Dick Whittington
Dick Whittington is a classic pantomime production following the plucky hero's journey to London in search of fortune and destiny. The show features Dick, his trusty cat, a magical fairy, and a dastardly villain in a tale packed with slapstick comedy and 3D effects. Families will experience plenty of interactive moments and traditional panto fun throughout the performance. The production includes new visual effects alongside familiar pantomime humour and audience participation. Dick must overcome challenges to find his fortune whilst the villain plots against him. The show asks whether Dick can truly communicate with his cat, a running gag through the adventure. Pantomime season runs through the festive period, so book ahead during busy weeks.
