You all know the story ... a wicked sorceress casts a spell on Prince Christian and turns him into a beast. He will remain a beast unless the spell can be broken by true love's kiss before the rose (given by the Sorceress) withers and dies. The wicked Sorceress has a son, Gaston, who wants to marry Belle but she despises him. Will he get the girl? Perhaps Belle will find true love.
This is Panto ...goodies, baddies, lots of "booing". Don't turn around because there's bound to be something "behind you".

'Beatrix didn't want a tiara. Beatrix wanted a Beard!'
From Charles Darwin to Abraham Lincoln, Karl Marx to Mr Twit, it is said that the secret to power and greatness is all in the size and shape of the beard.
Award-winning company, Trick of the Light Theatre (The Bookbinder, The Road That Wasn't There), delivers a tale of one young girl's increasingly inventive efforts to grow the world's most magnificent beard. Join a madcap and hilarious musical romp as our plucky young heroine, armed with bubble bath and canned spaghetti, shakes up social rules and attempts to answer the questions that have puzzled mankind since the dawn of the beard.
Written by Ralph McCubbin Howell
Directed by Hannah Smith
