Dick Whittington played by Rosie Clarke, alongside his best friend Tommy the cat, played by Bex Wright, battle hordes of sinister rats with the help of an assortment of colourful and hilarious characters.
Director of the drama group, Mike Ward, said: “As always with Abingdon Drama Club, it was a very difficult challenge to cast the pantomime because of all the truly great talent we have. For obvious reasons, this hasn’t been the easiest time to put together a theatre show. The dedication, brilliant sense of humour, effort and team spirit from all the cast and crew has been amazing”.
