Written & Directed by Peter Doran • Music & lyrics by James Williams • Designed by Sean Crowley “...Packed with energetic performances, standout singing and humour for both young and old” -Western Telegraph It’s hard to believe it’s already that time of year when we’re starting to make plans for Christmas, the days are certainly getting shorter. After the phenomenal success of our Autumn production One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, the Torch Theatre Company’s Christmas Show is Dick Whittington and promises to be full of fun, songs and laughter you would expect from the Torch! Follow Dick and his cat Tommy in this much-loved story of a poor boy who sets off to make his fortune in London and join him in all the crazy adventures he encounters along the way! Packed with songs, slapstick, silliness and plenty of audience participation, Dick Whittington promises everything you could dream of in a traditional family pantomime – bursting at the seams with all the magnificent scenery, special effects, crazy costumes, music, magic and mayhem that our audiences have come to expect! We have complimentary tickets available for press reviewers during our School Matinee Performances from Wednesday 22 November to Friday 22 December 2017; 10.00am and 2.00pm. Email james@torchtheatre.co.uk to request your comp ticket, letting us know which performance you would like to attend.

Interesting facts • This will be the Torch Theatre’s fortieth consecutive Christmas show, continuing an annual tradition that began shortly after the Torch opened its doors in November 1977 when it staged its first Christmas spectacular Simple Simon (Dir: Graham Watkins) in December 1977 – January 1977. • This year’s Christmas production of Dick Whittington is the Torch Theatre Company’s one hundred and seventy-third (173) production in 40 years! • The annual Christmas show helps make Christmas one of our busiest and most exciting times of the year – last year nearly 12,000 people saw the Torch Theatre Company’s pantomime of Sleeping Beauty. • Dion Davies reprises the role of Sarah The Cook – Dion is a familiar face at the Torch Theatre, having played the role of ‘Dame’ since 2010. • The cast of Dick Whittington reunites several members of the acclaimed cast of this Autumn’s One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest: Richard Nichols, Miriam O’Brien, Francesca Goodridge, Dion Davies and Oraine Johnson are delighted to be returning to the Torch Theatre once again. |
