REVIEW: Dick Whittington and his Cat
Reading Time: 2 minutesWritten by Vikki Stone and directed by Douglas Rintoul, the show modernises the traditional story of Dick Whittington travelling to London to seek his fortune with added rock/pop musical numbers.
Luke Thornton flourished as the titular character, giving curiosity, charm, and warmth to the role. Max Kinder was equally bawdy, exuberant and grating as Sarah the Dame, Alice’s bawdy mother. Elizabeth Rowe was sweet and kind as Alice, as well as headstrong and steady. However, Steve Simmonds was a standout as the villainous King Rat, playing the role with mischievous glee. His rendition of "Gangsta’s Paradise" was an absolute side-splitting triumph. Myles Miller effortlessly shone as Dick's feline companion. He had great physical comedy skills and made the most of the pantomime's slapstick humour.
