If you’re regular pantomime-goers in Durban you’ll be familiar with KickstArt Theatre’s annual festival of silliness. This year they’re changing it up – not only have they brought their latest offering to Jozi, they’re doing it throughout the winter school holidays.

Puss in Boots, originally written in 1695, is about a wily cat who does what he can to get his rather dozy master a royal bride. This long (but fun) mashup uses this version of the story, but with a good injection of Antonio Banderas’ inspired passion.
