Dick Whittington and His Cat

Sun 22 Nov - Sun 3 Jan
Our annual King's Head pantomime returns!
22 Nov
-
3 Jan

Come to Islington, where the streets are paved with gold…

Dick Whittington’s adventure begins when he journeys to London town to find fame and fortune, with his trusty cat 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?

Back for its third year, North London’s favourite panto is sure to bring festive cheer for all the family. With show-stopping musical numbers, toe-tapping tunes, and a whole lotta laughs, this is a theatrical delight you won’t want to miss. 

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’. 

And there’s more! We couldn’t do the innuendo-filled Dick Whittington without bringing back our hit Adults Only shows, complete with drag and West End guest stars! With previous guest stars including John Owen Jones, Kate Butch, Steven Webb, and Christina Bianco, this is your chance to see your faves live on stage.
