Stockport Plaza prepares for Panto season with top TV villain
Corrie killer Richard Hillman stars in Dick Whittington.
One of the Country's favourite TV villains is returning to the stage in Stockport as Panto season gets the go-ahead.
Dick Whittington was cancelled last year due to Covid, but the Plaza's now re-opened its doors, and cast members have been trying on their costumes.
Brian Capron, who played Corrie killer Richard Hillman, takes on the role of King Rat, and tells us he can't wait:
BRIAN CAPRON, an established actor who played the murderous Richard Hillman in ‘Coronation Street’, for which he won Best Actor, Best Villain, and Best Exit at the British Soap Awards, and Villain of the decade at the Inside Soap Awards, makes a welcome return to The Plaza as the ‘oh so evil’ King Rat alongside the ever popular BRADLEY THOMPSON who is a firm family favourite at The Plaza.
The Pantomime will be taking place from Friday 3rd December 2021 until Sunday 9th January 2022.
