Play to the Crowd
Puss in Boots
A traditional family panto
Written & Directed by Robin Belfield
Music by Simon Slater
Get ready for the purrr-fect swashbuckling Christmas adventure.
Life is tough for Colin the poor Miller's son, no money, no job and no chance of impressing the beautiful princess.
It's just him and his faithful cat, Puss.
However, Puss is no ordinary feline and soon turns Colin from zero to hero and adventures begin.
But they're going to need all the help they can get if Colin’s going to save the day and win the heart of the Princess.
Full of PAW-some gags, original songs and loads of audience participation, it's going to be MEOW-gic!
