Dick Whittington – A Scottish Pirate Pantomime

Writer Fraser Boyle and director Tom Cooper return to write and direct our 2026 pantomime – Dick Whittington!

Hoist the sails and hold on tae yir knickers for a swashbuckling Scottish adventure: Dick Whittington – reimagined for the Gaiety Theatre!

Our orphan Dick follows a mysterious treasure map all the way to the mystical shores of Arran. Along the way she gathers an unforgettable crew: Forgetful Pete, Mary (the Ayrie Fairy), Bonny the Bold and Dame Long-Jeanie-Silver. But beware ye landlubbers! The Clyde Estuary belongs to the fearsome Captain Ratbeard and her band of drunken sailors! Packed with pirates and peril, this pantomime is bursting with adventure, heart and secrets waiting to be unlocked. Oh yes it is! Oh yo-ho-ho!
