Puss in Boots Comes to Durban

Puss in Boots Comes to Durban

This year, KickstArt proudly presents its very own swashbuckling version of the classic fairy tale “Puss in Boots”, featuring an all-star cast of highly experienced panto performers.

Starring the charming and charismatic Rory Booth in the title role, they also welcome back panto stalwarts Bryan Hiles (as Puss’s hapless surfer-dude owner, Tom) and Darren King (Tom’s outrageous mother, Dame Marzipan, the village baker). Every good panto needs a nasty villain, and rubber-faced, treacle-voiced Peter Court makes a meal of the dastardly Grimsby Withergood, a shape-shifting goblin wizard, while his nemesis, the good fairy, Calypso Honeybunch, is played with quirky style by much-loved Durban actress, Belinda Henwood. More glamour comes in the form of two beautiful ladies, Londiwe Dhlomo, who plays the adventurous Princess Miranda, and Caitlin Kilburn as a slinky feline spy, Selina Swiftclaw.

Rounding off the excellent cast is golden-voiced Lyle Buxton as a Johnny Bravo style mill owner, and Nhlakanepho Manqele as the jocular king of the enchanted island.

Performances are at 2.30pm, Tuesday to Sunday, with 7pm shows on Fridays and some Saturdays. Tickets range in price from R120 to R220. The production runs at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre until 10 January.

We had the pleasure of sitting in the front row (always a dangerous move at a panto) to see the show last week. I know I say this every year, but it really is true and this year is no exception! The panto keeps getting better and better, and this year Puss stole the show – Rory Booth was exceptional in the title role. He stayed true to his character and was very funny while being very serious at the same time – the perfect panto recipe. I also loved the goblin/wizard in the motorised chair (which was a very clever trick), as well as Tom and his brother who kept us in stitches. If you’re only going to see one show this year, make sure it is this one.
