HER mother, Linda Lusardi, and her father, Sam Kane, have both performed on the Wyvern Theatre stage – and now it is the turn of Lucy Kane to step on to the Swindon stage in this year’s pantomime, Dick Whittington.
Lucy Kane explains: “Seeing my parents on stage in panto was one of the main reasons that I wanted to become a performer. It was so inspiring to see them do a job that they love. I spent many years watching the show from the wings and it’s a dream come true to be able to follow in their footsteps.”
Sam Kane and Linda Lusardi met in pantomime and so it’s unsurprising that daughter Lucy has caught the bug for the theatrical Christmas tradition. Lucy has been at stage school for the last six years and has performed in shows such as Annie, Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Lucy will play Alice Fitzwarren, the love interest of title character Dick Whittington. She will be joined on stage by Nigel Havers as King Rat and David Ashley as Sarah the Cook.
