Dick Whittington and his Cat will be Kington Operatic Society’s pantomime this year.

They will perform it at Lady Hawkins Community Leisure Centre on Thursday, February 20 and Friday, February 21 at 7.30pm and on Saturday, February 22 for a matinee performance at 2.30pm.

The panto by Limelight Scripts tells the story of simple country boy Dick Whittington, who makes his way from his village in Gloucester, to the bright lights of London seeking his fortune, accompanied by Puss, his feline companion. 

Dick soon discovers that the streets of London aren’t paved with gold, and instead ends up doing battle with the evil King Rat who intends to rule London with his hordes of rats. 

King Rat frames Dick as a thief and he leaves London bound for Morocco. This battle between good and evil, eventually culminates in the Sultan of Morocco’s palace. 

Go and see the jolly, family show to find out if it ends happily ever after! 

Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for under 18’s and they are available from the Burton Hotel in Kington or from ticketsource.co.uk/kados.

If just being in the audience is a bit dull for you then why not join the society on stage? If you can hold a tune and like dressing up then you're in! Perhaps you would prefer to help backstage. They society always make new members very welcome.
