It’s Panto time again. Oh, no it’s not! Oh, yes it is!! Preparations are well underway for St Luke’s Players’ eighth Christmas panto - this year it is “Puss in Boots”. Like all pantos, “Puss in Boots” is loosely based on the well-known children’s story. In this production Jack, the miller’s son, has been left with just the family cat in his father’s will. With the arrival of Aunt Hettie from View Royal and the revelation that Puss can talk (and look pretty fetching in a pair of boots!), Jack, Auntie and Puss become embroiled in a complex scheme to persuade the King and Queen that Jack (masquerading as the Marquis of Carabas) is suitable husband material for the beautiful Princess. But they will have to contend with a jealous noble suitor, a pair of dastardly henchmen, a dragon and a hideous shape-shifting ogre! St Luke’s Players production of “Puss in Boots” will follow the traditional British format with plenty of action, comedy and audience participation - fun for the whole family! There will be 13 performances this year (6 afternoon matinees and 7 evening shows), starting on December 19 and running until January 1. Tickets go on sale on November 7 at: Russell Books - 734 Fort Street Ivy’s Book Shop - 2188 Oak Bay Avenue Petals Plus Florist - 3749 Shelbourne Street Dig This - Broadmead Shopping Centre If previous years are anything to go by, they will likely be sold out early in December, so you are encouraged to buy yours early to avoid being disappointed.
