Panto Archive: Paddy discusses playing Dick Whittington with Kris

In 1973 the Wyvern Theatre presented it's first ever production of Dick Whittington. The production starred Kent Baker as the hilarious Sarah the Cook, with Gerald Moon as Idle Jack and Paddy Glynn as Dick Whittington. Paddy has gone on to play many theatrical roles, her most recent in Camera Lucida at the Barbican. She has also made appearances in Ricky Gervais' Channel 4 sitcom Derek and the BBC's hugely popular Doctors. On Monday 10 November 2014, Paddy met Kristian Morse who is due to take on the role of Dick Whittington at the Wyvern Theatre this December. This role will be his first professional production since graduating from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. The pair met for coffee in Archway, near the statue of Dick Whittington’s cat. The statue, which was erected in 1821, is allegedly built on the very spot where Richard Whittington heard the bells of London ring out. A brand-new production of Dick Whittington will run at the Wyvern Theatre from Sat 6 December - Sun 4 January, starring Nigel Havers as King Rat. Book tickets today at swindontheatres.co.uk
