However as well as the audience meeting the hero Dick, played by Chris Smith, the story book gets dropped and all of the stories get mixed up, causing Dick and his loyal cat (Anna Willmouth) to meet five damsels in distress in the form of Snow White (Hanna Turner), Red Riding Hood (Maia Buckthorpe), Goldilocks (Lucy Worrall), Cinderella (Josie Mead) and Sleeping Beauty (Molly Ireland) who are all on the search for a husband.
And if that’s not enough the mixed up stories means panto favourites the Ugly Sisters, the three bears and the big bad wolf also keep Dick on his toes.
