Dick Whittington And His Cat

Synopsis:
This year the Palace is celebrating its centenary so forget the middle-ages, after a welcoming prologue from Liz Pulman's Fairy Bow-Bells and a brief appearance from King Rat (Peter Holdway) so that we all know who to boo, the story starts with Dick's arrival in Watford, outside this theatre in 1908. That is where Dick meets Tommy the Cat, a frilly-furred tortoiseshell, in this production given the gift of speech, and soon Tom Bradley (Dick) and Dale Superville (Tommy) are rehearsing the audience in a lively response of 'Hello Tommy, Miaow!' whenever he greets them - and singling out a member of the audience for special attention that continues throughout the show. But it is London Dick is bound for and Bow Bells call them (no Highgate Hill and 'turn-again' on this occasion - the story is trimmed down to its essentials) and next we are outside alderman Fitzwarren's and meeting Howard Coggins's very ample Sarah the Cook establishing another immediate rapport with the audience.

Jack And the Beanstalk

Synopsis:
the search for this year's perfect pantomime may well be over - and December has barely begun at that. Jack and the Beanstalk revamped by the considerable talents of writer/director Joyce Branagh has all the elements for a fun night out: great dancing, good gags, top quality singing, a devilishly charming villain, a witty and inspired choice of songs, audience participation and a lovely leading lady and her man. . . Pure Class. Watford Observer

Sheepish

Synopsis:
On a mound of friendship in a field of dreams, three party-goers wait for the elusive Dee. Infiltrating spy-rings, racing rockets to the moon and falling in love may seem daft, but in a world spinning ever faster is it such a baaa-d idea to break away from the flock? "a charming piece of pastoral absurdism." the Guardian.

Notes:
"In Sheepish, Branagh has created three well defined characters whose surreal journeys flow Along nicely in A gently humorous And entertaining hour-long show. A fine ensemble cast, with excellent comic timing, bring the necessary energy to breathe life into her clever And funny script. the result is perfectly light for A summer evening."
