Puss in Boots at Baxter Theatre Centre

Puss in Boots is a family pantomime written and directed by Steven Stead and designed by Greg King, set on a magical Caribbean island and following a quick-witted feline hero on a playful adventure filled with colourful characters, lively songs, and audience participation. The cast includes Rory Booth as the booted hero, Belinda Henwood as the good fairy Calypso Honeybunch, and Bryan Hiles as the villainous Grimbsy Withergood, joined by Kyran Brady Taylor, Blessing Xaba, Lyle Buxton, Roshanda Lewis, Mthokozisi Zulu, and Grace MacIlroy. Produced by KickstArt Theatre, the show blends slapstick, spectacle, and local humour to appeal to both younger audiences and adults. This marks the first time the production, which has previously been staged at the Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City and twice in Durban since its 2015 premiere, will be seen in Cape Town.
