DICK WHITTINGTON
At the EMC, Harpenden, Jan 23rd -26th
Come and see The Hurst Children's Theatre Group in their production of 'Dick Whittington', a traditional family pantomime, this January.
With a cast of hundreds aged between 3 and 18, this show will appeal to all members of the family.
The plot tells of poor, young Whittington who arrives in London to make his fortune. Things are looking up when he meets Alderman Fitzwarren and falls in love with his daughter Alice. The jealous ‘Idle Jack’ joins forces with King Rat (Ratman!). Together they frame Dick, who is then forced to leave London to make his fortune and clear his name.
Along with a talking cat, being ship-wrecked on a desert island, having a duel with Ratman, to tell of the final outcome would only spoil your fun!
The production is packed with laughs, dances, songs and audience participation! So what better way to get over the end of Christmas and the beginning of term?! Come and enjoy an afternoon or evening with us, take a break and soak in the atmosphere. The family will love it!
For more info, see their website: www.hurstchildrenstheatregroup.com or book via the Theatre Box Office.
We hope to see you there!
Further information
It's written by my Father Mike Hurst who had many hit records in the 1950's and 1960's. He was one of the Springfields and produced Cat Stevens, Manfred Mann, Spencer Davis, PP Arnold, Shakin Stevens etc.
The show draws on his experiences of the music scene in the 195p's and the unbreak of rock n roll. The amazing thing is, Mike will actually be in the band for these shows. Jonas Hurst
