Sleeping Beauty
A traditional family panto
Written & Directed by Robin Belfield
Music by Simon Slater
Nothing much happens in Snorchester, that is until Princess Rose's 16th birthday.
A wicked curse from the evil Carabose has the whole kingdom snoozing. Can Princess Rose rely on her dozy friends to help break the spell, or will she have to take matters into her own hands? Will true-love get its wake up call and finally save the day?
Set your alarms, don't get caught napping and book your tickets now for our traditional family panto full of original songs, audience participation and mayhem!
Sleeping Beauty is kindly supported by Paris Smith
Accessible performances
Relaxed performances

Relaxed performances are specially designed to provide a supportive environment for children and adults with learning difficulties, special needs or Autistic Spectrum Condition. The performances are open to everyone but will be particularly suited to these groups.
What happens at Relaxed performances?
- The auditorium lights will be kept low throughout the show and any loud noises on stage will be softened.
- Audience members may leave or re-join the performance at any time and staff will be on hand to help out.
- A visual story can be downloaded in advance (see below) to explain what to expect from the performance and how to find your way around the theatre.
- There will be a chill-out area set aside for those who need time out from the performance.
The pantomime is family-friendly and traditional in format with a hero, a villain, a dame and lots of music and audience participation.
The running time will be approximately 2 hours with an interval of 15-20 minutes after one hour.
