Vailplays.co.uk is delighted to announce that Alexander Vail has completed his commission to write the pantomime for the 2009/2010 season at Beckenham Theatre Centre. The script was commissioned in July 2009 and completed in September 2009. The play is currently in rehearsal, being directed by Tim James.
The famous tale of Dick Whittington - the boy who travelled to London
to make his name and his fortune - has been popular in England since the
fifteenth century. Part true story (he really did exist, he really did
fall in love with Alderman Fitzwarren's daughter; and he really did become
one of the richest and influential men in London), part Persian myth (which
may explain the cat!), his adventure has survived the ages through the
magic of pantomime.
This exciting, fast-paced, modern production of one of the best-ever pantomime
stories opens at Beckenham Theatre Centre on 18th December 2009. Tickets
are available from the Box Office on 07905 744 991.
A
small number of complimentary tickets for agents, publishers and theatre
people are available directly from Alexander Vail
