It's panto time in Folkestone. Join Dick as he heads to the streets of London, which he's heard are paved with gold! Dick Whittington at The Tower Theatre: audiences will cheer and boo along as Dick, with his trusty crime-fighting cat, Tommy, battles the most dastardly villain of them all: the infamous King Rat!  Can he escape the sewers, defeat the evil King Rat, win the heart of the beautiful Alice Fitzwarren, and become the Mayor of London?
This is a paw-some pantomime (excuse the pun!) that has all the traditional panto treats - plenty of laughs, stunning costumes, dazzling sets, more glitter than a Christmas tree and songs that will make you dance in your seat!
As Tower Theatre says: "Don't be a rat - book your tickets now! It's going to be the biggest, silliest, and most spectacular panto you've ever seen!"
