Meet the Cast: Cosmo

Wednesday, 22 November 2023 00:00

Salisbury's Pantomime starts this weekend at Salisbury Playhouse, and to get us all in the mood, Salisbury Radio has created a short series of Meet the Cast interviews.

Dick Whittington opens this Saturday (25th November), and we have spent some time with the lead-up to opening night to find out how things are going and what we can expect.

We will also talk to Fairy Bowbells and Dick Whittingham himself, but first, we catch up with Lindo Shinda, who is playing Dick's sidekick and best friend, Cosmo the Cat.

Lindo Shinda: Cosmo

Join Dick Whittington and his cool cat Cosmo, on the journey from Salisburyshire to London, in search of fame and fortune.

In the big city, disaster strikes, and the streets aren’t paved with gold but overrun with rodents. Can Dick defeat Evil King Rat and save the city of London?

You will have to go to find out - tickets can be bought here - https://www.wiltshirecreative.co.uk/events/dick-whittington
