The People’s Panto is back
this Christmas with the magical story of SLEEPING BEAUTY!
Once upon a time a beautiful Princess
was placed under a terrible curse by the wicked fairy Carabosse! Just one prick
of her finger and Princess Beauty would fall into a cursed sleep for 100 years
only to be woken by true love's kiss.
With the help of the Queen and the
hapless court jester Chester, will the handsome Prince be able to break the
spell?
Find out in
the all-singing, all-dancing Pantomime of your dreams!
The People’s Panto has become something
of a must-see, garnering rave reviews like "slick, smart and
big-hearted” (Dick Whittington, 2019) and “massively fun”
(Cinderella, 2018).
The People’s was devastated to have to
cancel the show last year. It’s always a huge part of the Theatre’s calendar
and brings so much joy to members and audiences.
Director Pamela Birleson comments “Myself
and the team are over the moon to finally see the show we have imagined on
stage after two years of struggling. We have all been working so hard through
all of the pandemic and challenges we have faced. We can’t wait to show
everyone and bring Panto back to the People’s Theatre!”
This is Pamela’s first time directing
the Panto, but she’s stage-managed plenty and is ready and excited for the
challenge.
“It’s been a wonderful experience, and
the show is packed with energy, jokes, and most of all, fun!”
The script is written by North-East
Panto legend Tom Whalley. Tom’s award-winning scripts marry classic stories
with comedy and modern twists, and the team are excited to be bringing his
Sleeping Beauty to the People’s stage for the first time.
SLEEPING BEAUTY runs from Saturday 11th to
Sunday 19th December. All of the afternoon performances are full,
but there are tickets available for the evening shows. So don’t snooze and book
yours now!
