Beauty and the Beast

​This is the pantomime with the strongest and darkest story. The father forced to give up his daughter and the daughter who almost kills the beast with her cruelty. And the red, red rose that blossoms in winter. This panto tries to treat the story with proper respect and as you can see from the photos we had an amazing Beauty and a frightening and handsome Beast when we first produced this pantomime. Around the dark and poetic story lots of humour and earthy reality dances. Beauty's sisters are laughably horrible, and there is a great slapstick scene where the kitchen staff of the Beast's castle are forced to pretend they are ice statues specially brought in for the Beast's feast.
