An Oxford Playhouse production

All aboard for London Town – the panto adventure of the year awaits!

Join us for the tradition that is an Oxford Playhouse pantomime. There’s a charming adventure on the way with Dick Whittington, full of laughter, mischief, magic and plenty of panto sparkle. Brought to you by the brilliant team who created Sleeping Beauty and Jack & The Beanstalk.

Proper crafty Liam Rattagher and his dodgy brother Noel are conjuring up a masterplan to take over the world. They want things to be just how they like them... bland! Can our hero Dick Whittington get rid of all the dull and make Britannia cool again? Maybe, but they’ll need a bit of the help from a magical cat and a gang of unlikely sidekicks.

Board the bus to London Town for this riotous and uplifting tale of friendship, music, 90s cool and Britpop.

It’s the purrrrfect festive treat!
