Puss 'n Boots comes to town

The tale of the talking cat Puss ‘n Boots and his master’s quest for love and fortune has been brought to life by the Kerikeri Theatre Company in a Christmas pantomime at the Turner Centre. The cast of 32 — as young as seven and from as far away as Kaitaia and Kaikohe — wrapped up their fourth and final performance on Saturday night. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
