Puss In Boots 2012
-
“Written by Amanda Hall, she managed to combine the traditional with the modern. A pantomime should be there to entertain the whole family, and it ticked all the boxes all the way through”

“What an undertaking it must have been to start with a blank page and end up controlling script, music, choreography and stage direction! Amanda, you achieved all this and my hat, if I had one, goes off to you! Puss in Boots was a very good panto.”

A Magical Family Pantomime
Our Dame and the King’s cook, Maxine Miller, has four children, John, Glenda, Wayne & Will. Sadly her husband dies and leaves the Mill and the donkey to Wayne & Will and a large music book to Glenda, but all that is left for John is a cat.
However, with the help of Fairy Bluebell and some enchanted boots this cat transformed into a talking Puss-in-Boots.
Puss decides to help his master become the richest man in the country and the Marquis of Carabas. Meanwhile, Ol’ King Cole decides to hold a competition to find a suitable suitor for his beautiful daughter, Princess Jayne.
Throughout the journey we meet Grog the Ogre and his Horrible Henchman Horace, the King’s Chamberman and Princess Jayne’s cat, KittyKat.
Will Puss and John defeat the Ogre? Will Princess Jayne find her Prince? Will Maxine Miller cook Christmas dinner for everyone?
