Members of Gargrave Pantomime group perform their annual production this coming weekend, the long awaited show of Dick Whittington and his Cat Steve commences with the first performance on Thursday evening ( February 20th ) at 7.15.p.m.
Further performances take place on Friday at 7.15.p.m and two shows on Saturday at 1.p.m and 5.p.m.
Directed by Anita Eccles and starring Laura Lipscombe as Steve, the panto tells the familiar story of Dick Whittington`s exploits in London, via a rather untraditional route to a Morecambe nightclub overrun with rats, headed by the evil King Rat. The significance of Dicks cats name becomes clear once everyone realises that apparently the entire crew of the Pantomime have the name Steve. Will Dick ever make it back to London to be re-united with his love Alice, despite the comic incompetence of the ships crew?
With all the classic ingredients of dancing children, slapstick comedy, and a hint of political satire this show has something for everyone. Tickets on the door are priced at £9 and £6 for concessions.
