Sleeping Beauty
-
“This production of Sleeping Beauty, written and produced by Amanda Hall, was a truly joyous celebration of traditional pantomime. It was very well presented, developing a wide range of characters throughout the story.”

“Sleeping Beauty has a great original script by Amanda Hall. Like all good pantos there were many local and topical references, innuendo, word play and slapstick, all of which the audience could appreciate, whatever their age.”
