Folowing on from the success of last year's Cinderella, Alexander Vail was commissioned to write his third pantomime exclusively for Beckenham Theatre, which premiered during BTC's 2009/2010 panto season, with a fantastic cast, directed by Tim James (who will also direct this year's Lost in Yonkers by Neil Simon)

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 opened at BTC on 18th December 2009.
