This hilarious 'Charming Alternative to Panto' will appeal to grownups who have learnt that life is not quite the fairy tale they were led to believe. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away (otherwise known as France), four not-so charming princes gather to propose a wager: Whoever shall be the first to marry will take the throne. Simple enough, and for four young handsome princes, what could possibly go wrong? Well in a world where true love is a mere fable, let's start with one misplaced shoe, a remarkably tenacious coma, one lady of uncertain age, a persistent ex ?friend', and not to mention the in-laws... but who needs happily ever after anyway? After an acclaimed sell-out run at the Camden Fringe Festival, Charming will receive its mainstream premiere at the Old Red Lion this holiday season. This is not your traditional bedtime story but one with chaos, hilarious misunderstandings and enough sweet Disney-themed idealism to poison any apple! Running time: 1hr 25mins. Suitable for ages 12+
