Steven Stead's PUSS IN BOOTS @ The Baxter in Cape Town

Let the magic in this winter! This winter, as Cape Town settles into its quieter rhythms and school holidays begin, KickstArt Theatre returns to The Baxter with Steven Stead’s Puss in Boots, a lively pantomime for the whole family, running for a limited season from 26 June – 18 July. Following the success of last year’s Jack and the Beanstalk, the company continues to build a growing winter tradition at The Baxter with a production that invites audiences to step out of the cold and into a world of music, mischief, and shared laughter. Puss in Boots is set on a magical Caribbean island and follows a quick-witted feline hero on a playful adventure filled with colourful characters, lively songs, and plenty of audience participation. The production is designed to delight younger audiences with slapstick and spectacle while offering humour and local references that adults can enjoy just as much. Written and directed by Steven Stead and designed by Greg King, the show brings together a strong cast including Rory Booth as the booted hero, Belinda Henwood as the good fairy Calypso Honeybunch, and Bryan Hiles as the villainous Grimbsy Withergood. They are joined by Kyran Brady Taylor, Blessing Xaba, Lyle Buxton, Roshanda Lewis, Mthokozisi Zulu, and Grace MacIlroy. With its blend of comedy, music, and theatrical flair, Puss in Boots offers Cape Town audiences a welcoming and accessible live theatre experience during the winter holidays. Puss in Boots is an experience that brings people together. It is easy to enjoy, packed full of heart and made to be remembered.
