About this event
Has anyone seen the Queen? Last night she went missing and now the streets of London are filled with rats who want the throne for themselves. The time has come – humanity must find a hero. This Christmas join Dick Whittington and the rebel army as they fight for liberty, equality and cheese.

Theatre Royal Productions
Each year we make four distinctive, beautifully-staged in-house productions of our own. Rapunzel is one of our in-house productions. Other in-house productions currently on sale are The Little Train and And Then Come The Nightjars.
The income from these productions is retained by Theatre Royal (in comparison to visiting, touring shows where we retain only between 20% and 30% of the ticket income) and is used to support our programme of work in the community, to enable us to create high quality and diverse theatre and to maintain and run our beautiful 206 year old theatre – to keep it thriving for future generations.
So, if you purchase a ticket for Dick Whittington, The Little Train or And Then Come The Nightjars we want to say a huge THANK YOU! Your support means so much.
