Dick Whittington 

by Philip Meeks

Newcastle People’s Theatre

Saturday 7th – Sunday 15th December 2019

Join local lad Dick Whittington and his magical cat Tommy on an action-packed, fun-filled adventure at the People’s Theatre next month.

When Dick arrives in London he’s hoping to find fame, fortune and the streets paved with gold. The last thing he expects is to end up on a bell-ringing, swashbuckling adventure that takes him from Heatonia to the shores of Whitley Bay!

Will Queen Rat fulfil her evil plan to flood the city with plaque and pestilence to become Lord Mayor?  Will Sarah the Cook – renowned across the land for her dumplings – find a suitable suitor to whisk her off her feet?  Will Alice ever notice lovelorn Idle Jack?

 

Idle Jack (Joe Robson)

Alice (Alice Dalgleish),
Tommy (Emma Cockburn)
and Dick W (Evelyn Ryan)

Find out in the People’s Theatre’s toe-tapping family Panto, packed with songs, dances, and festive fun.

The People’s Panto has become something of a local legend in recent years, with last year’s Cinderella selling out and audience comments including “a wonderful show” and “massively fun and pleasingly extravagant”.

This year’s Dick Whittington promises to be just as much fun, so don’t delay if you want to book your seat for the hottest ticket in Heaton.
