Boris the Panto is a fresh, whimsical, topical tale which tells the story of how Boris Johnson, like Dick Whittington before him, rose to become Mayor of London. Craftily adapted from Luff's own panto script "The Adventures of Dick Whittington", this modern re-telling of a familiar favourite follows a very traditional panto format with an unlikely cast of villains, pirates, fairies, cats and rats crowbarred into Boris's story.

All the usual panto ingredients are there - slapstick, sword fights, pacy sketch routines, audience participation and a great big loveable cat called Cameron who somehow manages to become Prime Minister. And the kids will love Doris Morris's messy cake-making scene.

Boris the Panto will take adults and kids alike on a highly original, politics-free journey featuring the blundering and bizarre adventures of the world's second most unlikely politician.
