Auditions for Puss in Boots at The Nomad Theatre, Surrey.

Yes, we’re already thinking about pantomime.

Jack, the miller’s son has been left with just the family cat in his father’s will and, although he has great ambitions, it is unlikely he will amount to much. Things soon change with the arrival of Auntie Hettie and the revelation that Puss can talk (and look pretty fetching in a pair of boots)! Soon Jack, Auntie and Puss are embroiled in a complex scheme to persuade the King and Queen that Jack (masquerading as the Marquis of Carabos) is suitable husband material for the beautiful Princess. But first they have to contend with a jealous suitor, a pair of dastardly henchman, and a hideous shape-shifting ogre.

The Characters
Jack – our hero (Principal Boy)
Puss – the clever, booted pussy cat
Princess Alice – the royal daughter (Principal Girl)
King Herbert – king of the kingdom
Queen Mildred – and doesn’t the king know it
Lord Roger – the villain—a nasty piece of work who wants to marry the Princess and will accept no rival -he is also the ogre in human form.
Nosmo and Nopar - the King’s brothers, dim- witted and for hire
Dame Hettie Quette -the dame
Chorus of villagers – guards and courtiers (Adults and Children)
