EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the magic of Dick Whittington at The Kings Theatre in Hammersmith! This delightful souvenir bookmark invites you to 'BOOK your seats now' for the annual pantomime production, a theatrical tradition that has brought joy to generations. Featuring a charming image of Dick Whittington and his mischievous clown companion, this souvenir takes us back in time to the 1890s or 1900s. The clown, with his pierrot attire and boater hat, slides up and down the bookmark, reminding us of the old pantomime tradition that once captivated audiences. However, it's important to note the context of this image. While the clown was a beloved character in pantomimes, the blacked-up minstrel, a remnant of a problematic theatrical past, seems less appropriate by today's standards. This souvenir serves as a reminder of the popular entertainment of the past, with all its triumphs and imperfections. So, come one, come all, and join us at The Kings Theatre for a re-MARK-able Dick Whittington pantomime, a truly memorable experience for the whole family!
