Fun for the whole family as we follow the adventures of young Dick Whittington, come to London to make his Fortune.  Along the way he has to fight off the machinations of the Evil King Rat and his rat pack, aided only by his faithful (but sarcastic) talking cat, and the occasional magic of Fairy Bowbells.  Will he win through and gain the heart of the beautiful Alice?  And how much help will he get from Sara the Cook or Blackbeard the Pirate?  Children will love his visits to a gypsy camp, a pirate ship, and the cooking pots of the native tribe of a desert island.  And adults will enjoy the jokes and irreverence  that are part of pantomime:  "Highgate at last....and still no sign of Dick"

GRADS’ new production of Dick Whittington and his Cat is a joyful, traditional Christmas pantomime, set in the beautiful open-air surrounds of the New Fortune Theatre on the UWA campus. There will be plenty of chances for kids (of all ages) to get involved in the laughs and the action of this timeless tale. So come along and join in the fun!
