Puss in Boots

This year, Westfield Folkhouse presents the pantomime Puss in Boots. Will is the son of the village postmistress. He is poor but happy and always willing to help. But his life turns round in the most unexpected manner when he befriends a stray cat which turns out to be anything but ordinary! A royal visit to the village leads to another twist in Will’s life, but everything doesn’t go according to plan. And questions arise. Just who does live in the old house on the hill? And why is there more to the village cobbler than first appears? As with all Folkhouse pantomimes, this will be family entertainment of the highest order. There’s singing, dancing, comedy and audience participation as the story unfolds and ultimately, everyone lives happily ever after. With prices kept the same as last year, why not treat the whole family? We look forward to seeing you!
