Pantomime awards nominee The Arts Centre, Hounslow returns with Dick Whittington
Written by Jonathan Ashby-Rock and directed by Laura Hannawin
The Arts Centre, Hounslow is delighted to announce the eagerly awaited return of its hit annual pantomime, running from 23rd November until 31st December 2023. This year’s show, Dick Whittington, promises to be their biggest production yet.
Anticipation is building following the success of last year’s Cinderella, which garnered three prestigious pantomime awards nominations (Best Ugly Sisters, Best Ensemble and Best Small Pantomime) and put them in the top 3% of pantomimes in the UK, Hounslow’s 197-seater production stood strong against much larger shows, including the London Palladium's Jack and the Beanstalk and the Duke of York’s Theatre’s Mother Goose.
Artistic Director and Dick Whittington’s writer, Jonathan Ashby-Rock, comments, “Now in its ninth year, each pantomime we produce has grown bigger and bigger and last year the theatre was literally bursting at the seams! With Dick Whittington, we’re creating a truly immersive experience, with lots of laughter and pantomime magic. We can’t wait to welcome the audience into the larger-than-life world!”
Join our hero Dick as he embarks on a journey to London in search of fame and fortune! Step aboard this adventure while Dick works with his best friend cat, to battle a rat, and become the man with the mayor's hat! The rags to riches professional pantomime guarantees plenty of standout moments and huge laughs for all the family.
