Writer Fraser Boyle and director Tom Cooper return to write and direct our 2026 pantomime – Dick Whittington!
Up your anchors and haud oan tae yir breeks – it’s a swashbuckling adventure! It’s Dick Whittington reimagined for the Ayr Gaiety. Dick follows a mysterious treasure map all the way to the mystical shores of Ahhrrran. Along they way she gathers an unforgettable crew: Forgetful Gibbs, Fairy Flinty, the bold Bonny-Anne and Jackie Sparrow. But beware ye chancers! The Ayrshire coast is terrorised by a fearsome pirate ship: the “Santa Maybole”, crewed by Captain Ratbeard and her merry band o’ drunken sailors! A pantomime packed with pirates, punch and pizzazz! Oh yes it is! Oh yo-ho-ho!
