Hide AdA spokesperson said: “Passion, imagination and love are set in this heart-warming, beautiful and bewitching family show for Christmas.
“Written by Stuart Patterson, often called the master of children’s theatre, this is an inspired modern version of the story, given a fine momentum by the malevolent witch, Crackjaw, a ferocious, hate-mongering villainess. As well as Beauty and The Beast, there’s a cheeky goblin called Dunt, a gorgeous pantomime dog called Billy, a magnificent pair of (female) ugly sisters, and a hero who amounts to something more than the usual insipid prince.
“The audience participation rages fast and furious. Oh yes it does!”
The Players Theatre is in Hurstpierpoint High Street. The show dates are: Friday, November 30, 7.30pm; Saturday and Sunday, December 1-2, 1.30pm and 5.30pm; Friday and Saturday, December 7-8, 7.30pm; and Sunday, December 9, 1.30pm and 5.30pm.
