Saturday 8th February – Panto Sleeping Beauty – Alternate Shadows return to Cleave Warne Hall to present Helen Bradshaw’s original rendition of Sleeping Beauty. “As the day of Fromageville’s annual Cheese Festival dawns, all is not well…there’s a stink in the air. Countess Curdle has plans to dispose of the royals and become Queen. Her devious brother Gorgonzola and his two hapless employees Stilton & Brie help her to raise a ruckus in the palace. Custard pies, chaos and cheesy jokes aplenty are the recipe for Alternate Shadows’ new take on a classic story. We hope you love it….oh yes we do!”
