Meet the Cast: Dick Whittington

Friday, 24 November 2023 00:00

Salisbury's Pantomime starts this weekend at Salisbury Playhouse, and to get us all in the mood, Salisbury Radio has created a short series of Meet the Cast interviews.

Dick Whittington opens tomorrow (25th November), and we have spent some time with the lead-up to opening night to find out how things are going and what we can expect.

We have met Fairy Bowbells and Cosmo, and today we meet Will Carey, who is playing Dick Whittingham.

Will Carey - Dick Whittington

Join Dick Whittington and his cool cat Cosmo, on the journey from Salisburyshire to London, in search of fame and fortune.

In the big city, disaster strikes, and the streets aren’t paved with gold but overrun with rodents. Can Dick defeat Evil King Rat and save the city of London?

You will have to go to find out - tickets can be bought here - https://www.wiltshirecreative.co.uk/events/dick-whittington
