Dirk Benedict, Joanna Page and Stavros Flatley to star in Milton Keynes Theatre's purr-fect family pantomime Dick Whittington which kicked off on 10 December 2010. Hollywood Actor Dirk Benedict best known for his role as Face in the A Team, and Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page will both lead the fun and magic in this year’s spectacular pantomime Dick Whittington.

And if that wasn’t enough, Britain’s Got Talent fans can also look forward to a special guest appearance from the show's favourites Stravros Flatley - who are sure to bring the house down night after night.

Dirk Benedict will be playing the evil King Rat and Joanna Page will play Dick's beautiful love interest Alice Fitzwarren. Most-loved for her portrayal as Stacey Shipman in the BAFTA award-winning BBC comedy Gavin and Stacey, Joanna is no stranger to Pantomime having starred as Cinderella for the last two years. ‘I love panto it's just so much fun. It’s brilliant to see every generation of a family come along and have a really great time together. I’m really at home on the stage and love all of the singing, dancing and audience interaction that comes with panto. I’m so excited to be sharing the stage with a Hollywood heart throb, even though he is supposed to be the baddy!’ 

Make sure you join Dick Whittington and his trusted feline companion on their fun-filled quest for fame and fortune. Will they find the streets paved with gold? Will Dick win the hand of the lovely Alice? Will he defeat the boo-able King Rat? You will have to get down to Milton Keynes Theatre this Christmas to find out!

Featuring all the traditional pantomime ingredients; sensational songs, a live band, dazzling dance routines, slapstick comedy and bags of audience participation – Dick Whittington is a classic tale of rags to riches, and is guaranteed to be full of wonder and delight for audiences of all ages!
