This Christmas, panto comes to you

By Caroline King - November 18, 2020Posted in : FEATURED-STORIES, Theatre

This Christmas, why not enjoy the magic of panto from your own sofa? This December, Sleeping Trees will be streaming festive fun to audiences who are unable to make it out to the theatre.

The Legend of Moby Dick Whittington is an epic adventure, suitable for the whole family to enjoy.

Mayor of London, Dick Whittington, is turning on the Christmas lights of London for the very first time. But a giant white whale has swum into the Thames and swallowed Santa Claus whole. Dick, his trusty sidekick Cat, and a whole host of fairy tale favourites, embark on a quest to stop Christmas being ruined forever.

With talking rats, cats, original music and plenty of chances to join in, The Legend of Moby Dick Whittington is a much-needed festive treat for the whole family this Christmas.

Embark on a magical expedition like no other, using a few basic household items and your imagination. Sofas become boats and wooden spoons become swords! Help the cast paddle through sea storms and escape the inside of a whale’s belly, all from the comfort of your home.
