Puss In Boots

The Essex Group present their Witham panto for all the family!

In the Alpine Township of Flabbergast, there lived a miller who had acquired considerable wealth through the careful and prosperous management of his mill, which provided the town with its grain. The Miller had three sons who each shared in the work and running of the mill until one day the Miller fell ill and died. In his will he left the mill to his eldest son, his team of donkeys to his middle son and the cat to his youngest son. The two older brothers were overjoyed, but the youngest son was a little sad because unlike his two brothers he had no means by which to make his fortune as he saw little use in the cat. Or did he?
