Following last year’s record breaking production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Barnstaple audiences will once again be treated to more madness, mayhem, and magic with special effects and slapstick aplenty.
Dick Whittington stars Peter Ellis (The Bill) as the evil King Rat, Butler & Brown, Pippa Duffy (Tracy Beaker) Dee Tails and Leon Kay. With a full supporting cast, the scene is set for a purrfect Christmas treat for all the family.
Dick Whittington arrives in London seeking his fortune and accompanied by his faithful Cat. He is employed by Alderman Fitzwarren and falls in love with his daughter Alice, but falls foul of the King Rat. He is wrongfully accused of theft and leaves Fitzwarren’s house in disgrace. Not daunted he joins an expedition to the Barbary Coast, where, with the Cat’s help, he finds fame, fortune and of course Alice Fitzwarren’s hand.
Dick Whittington opens at the Queen’s Theatre, Barnstaple on Thursday 13 December and runs until Sunday 6 January with evening and matinee performances. -- www.northdevontheatres.org.uk
