It's Panto Time for St Michael’s Players Again

This year's production is Beauty and the Beast

This year's pantomime from St. Michael's Players is Beauty and the Beast.

It is being performed in the evenings from 7- 10 December with a 4pm matinee on Saturday.

Written by Ben Crocker, who also wrote their last two pantomimes; "Puss in Boots" and "Ali Baba" starring some new faces amongst the "usual bunch of reprobates" (see main photo).

It is the ultimate tale of true love brought to life with all the panto trimmings that we know and love plus a bit more besides. Where's the Prince gone? Will Ma sacrifice herself to save Beauty? Will Beauty ever love the Beast? Who is the Beast? Will the myriad dogs, ghosts, blacksmiths, bears, etc save the day?
