Dick Whittington: Adults Only

Our 2026/7 Adults Only panto!
Thu 26 Nov - Sat 2 Jan
Join us this winter for our annual Adult Panto!
26 Nov

2 Jan

Join our hero Dick and his beloved pussycat…

Dick Whittington’s adventure begins when he journeys to London town to find fame and fortune, with his trusty pussycat in tow. But with rats running riot, the big city doesn’t quite match up to his dreams... Can our young hero save Islington from the Rat King’s clutches, and restore London to its former glory? And will he find love along the way?

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK favourites River Medway and Victoria Scone will star in both productions, with Victoria returning to the theatre as ‘Dragpus’, following her appearance as ‘Dame Trott’ in last year’s Jack and the Beanstalk, and River making her King’s Head Theatre debut as ‘Queen Rat’. 

Our Adults Only panto is making a triumphant return for its third year - and what story could be better for a naughty panto adventure than that of Dick and his pussycat? Each of our Adult shows will also feature a special guest star, picked from icons of the worlds of musical theatre and drag! Previous shows have starred the likes of John Owen Jones, Christina Bianco, Ella Vaday, Kate Butch, and more! Don't miss your chance to see your faves LIVE on stage!
