Theatre Royal Stratford East Announces Panto Day Competition

By:

Get ready to celebrate National Panto Day On Saturday 7th December!

To mark this UK wide event Theatre Royal Stratford East is offering one lucky family the chance to win a special VIP panto experience.

This fun packed prize includes:

  • A family ticket to see Dick Whittington on National Panto Day - Saturday 7th December
  • Meet and greet members of the cast
  • An exclusive backstage tour
  • A free panto programme packed with activities and free refreshments

Join Dick as he embarks on a fortune seeking adventure with his friend Cool Cat to the glittering East End. But ever lurking in The Shadows is the rotten-to-the-core King Rat... In a show full of surprises, they'll need all the audience's sing-a-long support to help stop him and become Mayor of Stratford town.

Created by the celebrated Olivier-Award nominated team Trish Cooke and Robert Hyman and directed by Kerry Michael, it's a traditional tale with a very east-end twist!

Theatre Royal Stratford East's panto is suitable for people of all ages - 'The charms of this huge-hearted show prove impossible to resist.' (Metro on Jack & the Beanstalk, 2012)

To be in with a chance of winning complete the following in no more than 50 words and send to Lynsey Murdoch lmurdoch@stratfordeast.com by Monday 2nd December 2013.

"I love panto because....."
