Cinders and Whittington
Performed 27 and 28 March 2009
A hilarious play for all the family where because of a double-booking two pantomimes, Cinderella and Dick Whittington, get all jumbled up. Two pantos for the price of one! The Fairy Godmother is Fairy Bowbells, Cinderella is Alice Fitzwarren, Dick Whittington is Prince Charming, Zip the Cat is Dick's Cat and King Rat is also an Ugly Stepsister! The ensuing mayhem is accompanied by songs and audience participation.
Directed by Rob Nicholas with musical direction by Paul Davis.
