Beauty and the Beast

A Gala Durham Production. From the team who brought you Cinderella

Join our adventure in the (totally) French town of Chester-le-Rue!

Step into a world of music, magic, and merriment and join Belle, a bright, bold local lass who dreams of more than just life in the village, her eccentric Auntie Madame Perplexe, an inventor and the wandering Bard Jongleur as they avoid the unwanted attention of village bully and show off Gourmand.

In the mysterious abandoned Château de Pitié pour Moi (or Pity Me castle as the locals call it) there is a terrible curse hanging over it and its inhabitants. Inanimate objects Madame Horloge and Monsieur Brillant come to life, and it is rumoured a terrible Beast also lives there.

Will Belle’s courage and kindness be enough to break the curse? Can love blossom where you least expect it? Expect plenty of laughs, thrills and fun in this magical reimagining of a timeless tale.

Packed with dazzling costumes, songs, and of course, all your favourite panto moments – welcome to the Castle…of Fun!
