What happens in Dick Whittington?
Immersion’s version puts Dick’s ambitions up against a very different plan beneath London’s streets: King Rat wants to seize the city with his rodent army. Dick’s new acquaintances include Alice Fitzwarren, alongside Timmy and Cecily.
The producer describes a traditional audience-participation show with pop songs, comic routines, sweets and water guns. It is a Christmas production from Immersion Theatre, which returns to The Kenton for the run.
