Beauty & The Beast

A wild boy and a principled girl are both outsiders. A family has been wrenched from a wealthy life in the city into poverty in the countryside. A disastrous overnight stay in a mysterious Palace results in an act of supreme self-sacrifice. We encounter a precious rose, a vanishing dinner table and a terrifying witch determined to upset all children everywhere.

Writer Stuart Paterson invents a topsy turvy world with goblins and magic wells and spiteful sisters and a hopeless dad and a young woman who is prepared to do anything for the father she loves so much.  But will she succeed in taming the Beast?

'A brilliant version of the classic tale, from a playwright acclaimed as 'the master of children's theatre'' (Scotsman).
