Dick Whittington Adult Panto

Originating from a classic English folk tale, the story of Dick Whittington has been reimagined for adults, bringing a fresh and cheeky spin to the traditional narrative. The production follows Dick Whittington as he travels to London with his cat, only to find the city overrun with rats and in need of a hero. With the help of his trusty feline companion, Dick must save the day and restore London to its former glory, all while navigating the challenges of love and fame.

This year's adults-only pantomime features a talented cast, including RuPaul's Drag Race UK favourites River Medway and Victoria Scone. Victoria Scone returns to the theatre, this time as 'Dragpus', after her successful appearance as 'Dame Trott' in last year's Jack and the Beanstalk. River Medway makes her King's Head Theatre debut as 'Queen Rat', bringing her unique brand of drag charm to the role. Each show will also feature a special guest star from the worlds of musical theatre and drag, adding an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability to the production.
