Dick Whittington

The famous rags-to-riches tale of Dick Whittington and his Cat is centuries-old and a panto staple in theatres up and down the country at Christmastime due to being loved by audiences of all ages. The traditional folklore tells of a poor boy who travels to London to seek his fortune alongside his faithful cat. Together, they defeat a plague of rats in faraway lands, and when Dick returns to London, he’s rewarded with the ultimate honour – becoming the Lord Mayor of London.
