T1876618045Like the company’s very successful previous seasonal shows, Beauty and the Beast will be full of fantasy, music and comedy. The in-the-round production will have an ensemble of six actors, who also play all the music live on stage and create the sound effects, making a Christmas show with a difference- forget cartoons and Disney this is Beauty and the Beast done in Creation Theatre Company’s wonderfully unique and dynamic way. The action takes place on a circular stage in the centre of the amazingly opulent, antique Mirror Tent, where cabaret-style seating allows the audience to sit at small individual candle-lit tables to watch the performance. The tent’s velvet canopies, mirrored roof and ornate pillars and booths will make the perfect setting for Beauty and the Beast, creating an enchanting ambience for this well-loved tale and adding further to the spell-binding experience. Audiences can also enjoy refreshments at their table before the show or in the interval.Company Creation Theatre Company. Adapted by Daniel Bye. Director Sarah Punshon. | |

T1081555392This is the story of a Prince who is punished by a witch for a past misdeed and turned into a monster. He is forced to live alone as The Beast in an enchanted castle until he can be redeemed by pure love, which comes to him in the shape of Beauty, a merchant's daughter. Based on a seventeenth century French fairytale, this wonderfully entertaining, magical piece of theatre is much closer to [Jean Cocteau]'s classic film, La Belle et La Bete than to the numerous pantomime and musical versions, and tells a poignant story of human weakness and salvation in a way which is funny, sad and profoundly moving. Not suitable for children younger than 7.Performer Mark Little (The Beast). Performer Beth Fitzgerald (Beauty). Performer Gary Taylor. Performer Sarah Mann. Performer Barley McKay-Green.
