Dick Whittington

Wonder Pantomimes bring their touring pantomime paved with gold – Dick Whittington – to Tiverton this Christmas.

Join Dick and his faithful feline friend Tommy on their quest to seek fame and fortune in the City of London, where the streets are paved with gold and the evil Queen Rat dwells.

However, Dick dreams of being Lord Mayor of London and he is going to need all the help he can get from the beautiful Alice, Dame Dolly Dumpling and of course, lots of children!

Fun for all the family.

There will be two performances at Tiverton Community Arts Centre...
